JIM STROTHMAN'S HANDBOOK OF MEASUREMENT EQUATIONS & TABLES - Apr 26, 2006
Reviewer: James Pinto
Hot off the ISA presses, the 2nd edition of the "Handbook of Measurement Equations and Tables" is a much expanded and improved version of the original handbook printed in 1994.
Compiled and edited by my friend Jim Strothman, editor-in-chief of ISA's InTech magazine the last half of the 1990s, the 2nd edition's 314 pages (54 more pages than the 1994 handbook) adds three new chapter topics not previously included: Industrial Communications Buses, Safety, and Environmental Measurement.
Eight topics in the 1994 handbook were maintained and significantly updated. This 2nd edition took nearly 18 months to complete. During that time, Jim Strothman sought and received advice and input from several industry experts in specific disciplines.
According to ISA and Jim Strothman, the handbook's purpose, is to enable engineers and technicians designing and controlling industrial processes to find answers needed to solve day-to-day problems. The hundreds of equations, conversion values and tables in this handbook will speed technical problem-solving.
I recommend this book. Industrial Process companies should buy several copies for plant engineers and technicians. They'll be carrying it around till it gets dog-eared.
