New edition of The Condensed Handbook of Measurement and Control

The fourth edition of The Condensed Handbook of Measurement and Control by Nabil E. Battikha, PE, is now available (www.isa.org/mandchandbook). Battikha, an award-winning author in the field of process instrumentation and control, says an updated edition of his popular book was needed because of recent advances in process instrumentation and control implementation.

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

The handbook 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.
