Product Description
The fourth edition continues to offer readers the complete, skill-building information they have come to expect from Doebelin. In this revision, you'll discover an integrated treatment which establishes the study of measurement as an engineering science and technology in its own right. By featuring analytical methods along with the descriptive material, the book develops the coherence of the measurement field. To augment and focus the emphasis on computer technology found in the previous edition, the book includes an entire chapter on computer-aided experimentation, featuring a detailed case study clearly showing how an actual experimental apparatus was computer automated. The importance of sensing devices to the automation of manufacturing processes has been recognized by the addition of topics such as coordinate measuring machines, surface finish measurement, machine vision, and particle measurement in clean-room technology. You can count on Measurement Systems to foster an appreciation of the significance of measurement in all the application areas, from the monitoring of processes and operations, to automatic control and experimental engineering analysis.

 TROLL ALERT August 18, 2002
9 out of 12 found this review helpful
This is not so much a review of Doebelin as it is a review of Mr Georgia Tech who is making unsubstatiated criticisms of perfectly fine technical books without a shred of explanation or peer support of his views . The give away is that all his reviews use the EXACT same language no matter what the subject of the book he is criticising , down to the warning of "disasterous" lab results . He is probably a snotty 13 year old hacker just trying to cause trouble . Even the 20 of 24 people who found his 'review' helpful are probably Mr Snotty himself endorsing his own reviews form various grade school computers . BEWARE .
 excellent reference November 16, 2002

I wouldn't have submitted a review had I not read that written by 'Georgia Tech', whom I can only assume has some hidden agenda. Contrary to his/her suggestion, the physics in this text is sound and the prose is good. Those who recorded having found that review helpful have been misled.
This is well-known respected text which is an excellent book for both students and practioners in the field of instrumentation. It is a well-established reference which has been refined over a number of editions. Scope of the text is wide and the balance between theoretical principles and practical applications is well-judged. If you can only afford one book on instrumentation then this is definitely one to get -it has served me well both at college and in industry. At nearly 1000 pages of good quality content it is worth its hardback price - the paperback version is excellent value if still available.
 Readers beware. April 4, 2000

It is a good try summarizing various types of sensor in a book. Yet, readers must beware that many of the explanations are incorrect. The author tries to explain various sensors only by using his poor physics knowledge. Believing this book will result in a disaster in your scientific/engineering experiments. Sentences poorly written as well.
Maybe good only for sophmor level. February 26, 2003

This book was one of the references in an undergrad measurement system class. I think this is a good introduction to someone who does not know what "sensor" means. But in a graduate level research and then in industry research, this book was not very useful. Entirely this book is oversimplified and omits many of widely used sensors in inductry. It also fails to cover the significant nonlinear effects in some sensors that engineers cannot ignore in implementation. For those who need a guide of how to select and use sensors in research, this is not the one you want to buy. -one star
