About the Book:

This book ‘Instrumentation Operation, Measurement, Scope and Application of Instruments’ provides various concepts, both theoretical and practical knowledge and develops the techno-managerial skill in the field of Instrumentation. Various possible methods of measurements of commonly used instruments for measuring various quantities often applied in engineering and design are provided, presented and discussed sufficiently from fundamentals to advancements. It aims at providing an insight into various concepts and awareness as well as developments of the field. Numerical problems and day-to-day examples, practical situations that occur in industries & daily life are presented wherever necessary. Altogether, it covers the journey around the ‘world’ of ‘Instrumentation’.
