Email page

The present new edition of the 438-page WIKA handbook is intended to provide a reference book for dealing not only with the fundamentals, but also important practical aspects of industrial pressure and temperature measurement.

Additionally, all the measurement methods and equipment now in use in the technical field, along with numerous appendixes and tables are included. In addition to reviewing the classical mechanical and electrical methods of measuring pressure and temperature, the book also takes a detailed look at modern electronic sensor principles.

The measurement ranges of the instruments described extend from fractions of a millibar to 105 x atmospheric pressure, with greatly varying demands on precision. As for temperature measurements, the book describes methods for measuring the entire range from just above absolute zero to several thousand degrees Fahrenheit.

In addition to describing the actual measurement methods and equipment the reader will also find detailed information about the physical fundamentals of pressure and temperature metrology, measurement transducers, influencing variables and the demands placed on pressure and temperature instruments by process engineering. National and international standards and regulations are also covered extensively.

In its comprehensive treatment of all pressure and temperature measurement aspects, this handbook is without equal. Details are presented in sufficient depth to grasp even complex subjects. Attention is drawn to specialized literature and relevant handbooks on physics and metrology where additional reading is required to answer further questions.
