Industrial Sampling Systems reference book

Sampling systems expert Tony Waters and Swagelok have created a comprehensive reference covering the engineering involved with designing and operating a sampling system for a process analyser. Industrial Sampling Systems offers in-depth analytical instrumentation material suited for anyone from a novice to a degreed engineer. Along with recent innovations such as the Swagelok Process Analyzer Sample System live training course, and the Swagelok Pre-Engineered Subsystems product line, this reference fills a critical need for those who design, engineer and maintain sample systems for online process analysers.

Industrial Sampling Systems is a book that captures the experience and knowledge that Tony Waters has acquired over a career of more than 50 years. Waters, who collaborated with Swagelok engineers and associates, has created a book that balances theory and practical examples, making it an ideal read for students as well as experienced engineers, designers and technicians. The book also provides readers with a sampling of information featured in Swagelok’s intensive 40-hour complementary Process Analyzer Sampling System (PASS) training classes.

Industrial Sampling Systems contains more than 750 pages of full-colour technical content in a hard-bound cover of twelve chapters and three detailed appendices. Worked examples illustrate calculations and how to apply equations, and there are numerous sidebars which explain basic scientific concepts, as well as ‘Case Files’, which show the practical application of concepts. Self-assessment questions within the chapters are provided to help ensure reader comprehension, and a glossary of more than 1000 terms and definitions is included.
