Many of the commonly used measurement methods are described, together with their pitfalls and problems. The authors also incorporate plenty of useful, practical examples.  \u003cp\u003eAlthough there are a number of very good texts already available on the subject of engineering measurements, most are quite theoretical and few are written by practising engineers in industry. Those written by industrialists often concentrate only on their specific subject area. There does not appear to be a general text covering theoretical and practical aspects of engineering measurements, and in particular covering the areas of errors and pitfalls associated with taking these measurements. This book is designed to fill the gap, and incorporates knowledge obtained from years of practical experience in industry and R\u0026amp;D by the authors and the various contributors.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEngineering Measurements – Methods and Intrinsic Errors\u003c\/i\u003e is highly readable, practical, and comprehensive. Any engineer involved in measurement, whether in manufacturing and process control, development, troubleshooting, or research, will find this guide a helpful everyday tool.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eForeword by Peter Polak\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAuthors' Preface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1 Introduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 2 The Human Element 5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 3 Position, Speed, and Acceleration Measurement 17\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 4 Force, Torque, Stress, and Pressure Measurement 35\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 5 Temperature Measurement 53\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Fluid Flow Measurement 71\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 7 Electrical Measurements and Instrumentation 97\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 8 Measuring Properties of Materials 115\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 9 Surface Profile, Friction, and Wear Measurements 137\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 10 Internal Combustion Engine Testing 151\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 11 Computers 159\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 175\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix Definitions of Instrument Terms 179\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 183\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eT.
