The success of measurement and control in the above mentioned fields depends greatly on the availability of useful measurement methods and test facilities.

The WIKA Handbook sets out to present all the measurement methods and equipment now in use in the technical field. 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.

The WIKA Handbook will not only prove extremely useful for WIKA customers but will certainly also find its way into many measurement and testing laboratories.
