ISA Released Fourth Edition of The Condensed Handbook of Measurement and Control

ISA Handbook

November 17, 2017

The International Society of Automation (ISA) has announced the fourth edition release of The Condensed Handbook of Measurement and Control by Nabil (Bill) E. Battikha, PE.

Battikha, a highly recognized professional engineer and award-winning author in the field of process instrumentation and control, says an updated edition of his popular book was needed in light of recent advances in process instrumentation and control implementation.

“The many changes in technology over the last 10 years or so-particularly relating to control equipment symbology, sensors and safety instrumented systems as well as some other areas-necessitated development of an updated handbook,” explains Battikha. “The new edition features a significant amount of new and enhanced content, including a new chapter, a new appendix and noteworthy updates to 20 current chapters and nine appendices.”

The revised edition is designed to make it easier to select and implement measurement and control devices for process automation applications. Readers will gain practical, knowledge-based answers to questions pertaining to ISA symbology, instrument and control valve selection criteria, conversion guidelines, maintenance, calibration, decision-making and consulting.

The Condensed Handbook of Measurement and Control has long been one of ISA’s most successful publications. Battikha has twice received ISA’s Raymond D. Molloy Award-once for the initial edition of the book and once for the third edition. The award is presented annually to the author whose book outsold all others in a given year.

Robots Aren’t Taking Over Manufacturing – They’re Making It Easier

You might think of product being transported via conveyors, and people lined up at different stations. These people are probably doing repetitive tasks like placing components onto an assembly. Of course, if you work in automation or your facility has automation deeply integrated in its processes, you know that this sort of thing is not as common anymore.
