The latest update to Bela Liptak's acclaimed "bible" of instrument engineering is now available. Retaining the format
that made the previous editions bestsellers in their own right, the fourth edition of Process Control and Optimization
continues the tradition of providing quick and easy access to highly practical information. The authors are practicing
engineers, not theoretical people from academia, and their from-the-trenches advice has been repeatedly tested in
real-life applications. Expanded coverage includes descriptions of overseas manufacturer's products and concepts,
model-based optimization in control theory, new major inventions and innovations in control valves, and a full
chapter devoted to safety. With more than 2000 graphs, figures, and tables, this all-inclusive encyclopedic
volume replaces an entire library with one authoritative reference. The fourth edition brings the content of the
previous editions completely up to date, incorporates the developments of the last decade, and broadens the
horizons of the work from an American to a global perspective.
