Pneumatic Instrument Book 1

[centaur821]

I am looking for a GOOD book on pneumatic instrumentation. Any suggestions? I would prefer recommendations based on personal experience with the book. Thank you.

I just came in from the shop floor. I showed my techs how to calibrate a pneumatic positioner. Not something they see too much anymore. I continue to marvel at how clever some of the mechanisms are that do not depend upon integrated circuits.

I would scan the ISA publications for the pneumatics books. Maybe you'll get lucky. I doubt if anything new has been written on that lost art in the last 40 years.
