871 In the modern scientific world, a thorough understanding of complex measurements and instruments is the need of the hour. The second edition of the book provides a comprehensive coverage of the concepts and principles of measurements and instrumentation, and brings into fore the recent and significant developments in this field. The text now offers an exhaustive exposition of different types of measuring instruments and their applications in an easy-to-grasp manner. It presents even the minute details of various measurement techniques and calibration methods, which are the essential features of a measurement programme. The book elaborates on the theoretical background and practical knowledge of different measuring instruments to make the students accustomed to these devices. An in-depth coverage of topics makes the text useful to somewhat more advanced courses and its elaborated methodology will help students meet the challenges in their career. This book is ideally suitable for the undergraduate students of Electrical and Electronics, Electronics and Communication, Electronics and Telecommunication, and Instrumentation and Control disciplines of engineering. NEW TO THE SECOND EDITION Incorporates a new chapter on ‘Selected Other Measurements’. Includes new sections on ‘Recent Trends in Instrumentation and Measurement’, ‘Fibre Optic Sensors’ and ‘Microsensors’. Presents Bibliography at the end of each chapter to broaden the scope for further reading. KEY FEATURES Gives a number of chapter-end review questions and numerical problems for practice. Includes plenty of diagrams to clarify the concepts. Contains about 250 problems and 200 solved examples for the benefit of the students. Preface • Preface to the First Edition • List of Symbols 1.
