Calibration Handbook of Measuring Instruments

This book is written mainly for operators who verify and calibrate measuring instruments used in Quality Management Systems ISO 9001, Environment Applications ISO 14001, Automotive Industry ISO 16949, and Aviation Industry EN 9100. It is a handy reference and consultation handbook that covers useful topics on assuring and managing industrial process measurement, such as:

• The general concepts for managing measurement equipment according to ISO 10012, concerning the management system of instruments and measurements
• An instrument’s suitability to perform accurate measurements and control the drift to maintain the quality of the measurement process
• The criteria and procedures for accepting, managing, and verifying the calibration of the main industrial measuring instruments
• The provisions of law and regulations for production, European marking CE of metrological instruments used in commercial transaction and for their periodic verification

Alessandro Brunelli has worked for more than 40 years in the field of training and certification in industrial instrumentation at an experimental laboratory. He graduated from the Higher Institute of Industrial Technology Mechanical of the Polytechnic (University) of Milan in 1974 and later became a professor of mechanical and thermal measurement at the Polytechnic of Milan.
As a technologist, Brunelli participates in the activities of National, European, and International standardization for mechanical and electronic equipment. He is responsible for the Italian National Unification (UNI) commission on "Metrology of Pressure and Temperature" and is secretary of the technical committee Italian Electrotechnical Committee (CEI) on "Industrial-Processes Measurement, Control and Automation."
During his career, Brunelli published many papers in the areas of measurement and automation of industrial processes. He published two monographs relating to humidity and flow measurement, a series of five volumes on measurement and control in industrial applications, a specific volume titled Industrial Measurements: Physical & Mechanical, and a two-volume Instrumentation Handbook series.
