Terrence K. McMahon. March 1996 - Control
Liptak began his engineering education at the Technical University of Budapest. After arriving in the U.S.; he earned master's degrees at Stevens Institute of Technology and City College of New York. His published works include more than seventy technical papers and twenty books on engineering. His singular achievement is the two volume Instrument Engineer's Handbook. The third edition was published in 1995. This latest edition comprises more than 3,000 pages between the two volumes. Each volume includes eight chapters with many sub-headings per chapter. The Flow Measurement and Analytical Instrumentation chapters were heavily revised for the 1995 edition of volume 1. Within each product-oriented sub-heading, in addition to extensive treatment of the applicable technology, a comprehensive listing of manufacturers and typical price ranges is provided. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Review
'Whether used as a text book by inexperienced engineers, or as a quick reference book for the experienced engineer - this book looks set to continue to be the main reference for the instrument engineer for the next decade - and at a realistic price which is better value today.'

Reader Reviews
The book cover almost every single instrument used in the process industry for Process measurement and Analysis of the most common process variables. The book covers Flow, Level, Temperature, Pressure, Density, Safety and Miscellaneous Sensors (Vibration, Shock, acceleration, torque, noise, etc.) One of the aspect that I find more appealing is that at the beginning of each chapter you find an application and selection oriented overview and an orientation table for the process variable covered in that chapter of the book. The tables list all the different types of sensors and summarize the features and capabilities, as well as approximated prices, accuracies and characteristics of each one. If you need a sensor for a particular application, you can narrow your options and then go to the sections of the book that covers in details the selected sensors. If you work with Industrial Instrumentation you will find this book to be a very valuable tool in your day to day job, either if you specify, install, maintain or operate them. This handbook has almost 2000 pages of really useful information. I have been working in the Process Industries for more than 16 years as an Automation, Instrumentation, Process Safety and Process Control Engineer. I consider this book to be the very best in the field, and it is really an Excellent reference for anyone and everyone working in these areas or in areas related with their Industrial applications.
