Process Instrumentation is part of the NAPTA Series for Process Technology. Developed with Industry and Education, the series supports a consistent curriculum and exit competencies for Process Technology graduates.

The 2nd Edition provides an up-to-date common national standard for the Process Instrumentation and Measurement course of a Process Technology degree program. It is fully revised to align with the new NAPTA curriculum.

Extensively reorganized, the text now moves from simple to complex, making the text more versatile and adaptable to a wide range of courses. A new full-color art program includes more than 300 revised artwork and photo images, including new visuals of instrumentation.
