In every field of human endeavour learning never ceases. In fact, lifelong learning is a must
for anyone who wants to succeed in their chosen career. We must always be at the edge of
the ever changing technological tide.

Instrument engineers and technicians are no exception to this rule of lifelong learning.
Continuous education and learning is a must for all engineers. You may be sitting on many
years of experience; you may have gone through many professional courses or you maybe
just starting out in the field of instrumentation and control, continuous learning will improve
your knowledge and reinforce your professional skills

One key tool for continuous learning and education is to possess quality instrumentation
and control books which will serve as valuable reference anytime any day. Although
technology is now changing the way we learn, given that the internet has completely
technology is now changing the way we learn, given that the internet has completely
revolutionized everything we do, we still need quality reference instrumentation books.
These can be in electronic format (e-books) or “the good old” hard copy. Engineering books
by reputable authors and practioners are a good reference for engineering practice

Given the importance of reference books to instrument engineers and technicians, here are
five good books you should have in your library
as an instrument engineer or a technician:

Instrument Engineers’ Handbook by Bela G Liptak.

The handbook can either be bought as a single set of three volumes or the individual
volumes can be bought differently. However, it is far cheaper to buy the handbook as a
single volume.
The handbook set consists of:
• Instrument Engineers' Handbook, Fourth Edition, Volume One: Process Measurement and
Analysis.
• Instrument Engineers' Handbook, Fourth Edition, Volume Two: Process Control and
Optimization.
• Instrument Engineers' Handbook, Fourth Edition, Volume Three: Process Software and
Digital Networks.

This handbook of instrument engineering helps engineers and technicians select and
implement hundreds of measurement and control instruments and analytical devices. It
also aids in the design of cost-effective process control systems that optimize production
and maximize safety.

Volume One: Process Measurement and Analysis offers increased emphasis on installation
and maintenance.. It covers sensors, detectors, analyzers, and other measuring devices
introduced since publication of the third edition. Buy this book here

Volume Two: Process Control and Optimization include descriptions of overseas

manufacturer’s products and concepts, model-based optimization in control theory, new
major inventions, and innovations in control valves. It also devotes a full chapter to safety
and includes more than 2000 graphs, figures, and tables. Buy this book here

Volume Three: Process Software and Digital Networks provides an in-depth, state-of-the-art
review of existing and evolving digital communications and control systems. While the book
highlights the transportation of digital information by buses and networks, it also describes
a variety of process-control software packages suited for plant optimization, maintenance,
and safety related applications. It discusses plant design and modernization, safety and
operations related logic systems, and the design of integrated workstations and control
centers. The book concludes with an appendix that provides practical information such as
bidders lists and addresses, steam tables, and materials selection for corrosive services.

Measurement and Control Basics by Thomas A. Hughes

This book is Ideal for classroom use or self-study. It provides students, technicians,
engineers, and sales people with a practical introduction to the principles, technologies, and
engineers, and sales people with a practical introduction to the principles, technologies, and
strategies used in industrial process control. Each chapter begins with basic definitions and
concepts that allow instrument engineers and technicians to become well versed in the
principles necessary to under-stand the variables that affect process control systems. This
book also covers process control computers, industrial networks, liquid density
measurement, human machine interface (HMI), wireless devices and networks. The book
includes solutions to exercises that make it more suitable for self-study. This book is ideal
for both seasoned instrument engineers and technicians as well as beginners. You can buy
the book here.

Calibration: A Technician's Guide (ISA Technician) by Mike Cable

This book is a technician’s favourite. It is very popular among technicians and supervisors
who are involved in the calibration of pressure, flow, level and temperature instruments. The
book which covers a comprehensive review of calibration provides an excellent foundation
for understanding principles and applications of the most frequently performed tasks of a
technician. Topics addressed include terminology, bench vs. field calibration, loop vs.
individual instrument calibration, instrument classification systems, documentation, and
specific calibration techniques for temperature, pressure, level, flow, final control, and
analytical instrumentation. The book is designed as a structured learning tool with
questions and answers in each chapter. An extensive appendix containing sample P&IDs,
loop diagrams, spec sheets, sample calibration procedures, and conversion and reference
tables serves as very useful reference. If you calibrate instruments or supervise someone
that does, then you need this book. You can buy the book here.

Troubleshooting: A Technician's Guide by William L. Mostia Jr.

Troubleshooting loops and systems is something all technicians must do, but that few truly
master during their work with instruments. This book provides an in-depth discussion of the
basic logical framework that underlies all troubleshooting as well as advanced
troubleshooting techniques. It also explores the causes of failures and the techniques that
engineers and technicians use to trace them down. The book also covers troubleshooting
methods, both basic and advanced, hints and troubleshooting aids, troubleshooting safety,
basic maintenance concepts, information about training, and the developing
troubleshooting skills. It also includes numerous examples of troubleshooting problems in
mechanical systems, process connections, pneumatic systems, electrical systems,
electronic systems, and valves. The book also explores test equipment, programmable
electronic systems, communication circuits, transient problems, and software. You can buy
the book here.

Instrumentation And Control Systems Documentation by Frederick A. Meier and Clifford A.

Meier.
This book will train instrument engineers and technicians to read, understand, and apply the
symbols and documents used to define a modern industrial instrumentation and control
system. For more experienced instrument engineers and technicians, insights into using the
symbols and documents more effectively are provided. Variations in the use of symbols and
documents are given as well as the pitfalls to avoid. To better understand process
documentation today, insight into how and when documents are developed, who develops
them, why they are developed, and how they are used is provided. The types of documents
discussed include process flow diagrams, piping and instrumentation drawings, instrument
lists, specification forms, logic diagrams, installation details, location plans, and loop
diagrams. You can buy the book here
