PREFACE

The idea for the Handbook of Measurement in Science and Engineering came from a Wiley book first published over 30 years ago. It was Fundamentals of Temperature, Pressure and Flow Measurements, written by a sole author, Robert R Benedict, who also wrote Wiley books on gas dynamics and pipe flow. Bob was a pleasant, unassuming, and smart man. I was the Wiley editor for professional-level books in mechanical engineering when Bob was writing such books, so I knew him as a colleague. I recall meeting him in the Wiley offices at a time when he seemed to be having some medical problems, which he was reluctant to talk about. Recently, I discovered a book published in 1972 by a London firm, Pickering & Inglis, which specializes in religion. This book was Journey Away From God, an intriguing title. The author's name was Robert P. Benedict. I do not know whether the two Benedicts are in fact the same person, although Amazon seems to think so. (See the Robert P. Benedict page.) In any case, I do not recall Bob's mentioning the book when we had an occasion to talk.

The moral of this story, if there is one, is that the men and women who contributed the chapters in this handbook are real people, who have real-world concerns, in addition to the expertise required to write about technology. They have families, jobs, careers, and all manner of cares about the minutia of daily life to deal with. And that they have been able to find the time and energy to write these chapters is remarkable. I salute them.

I have spent a lot of time in my life writing and editing books. I wrote my first Wiley book somewhat earlier than Bob Benedict wrote his. When Wiley published Temperature Control in 1967, I was in my mid-twenties and was a practicing engineer, working on temperature control of the Apollo inertial guidance system at the MIT Instrumentation Lab, where I had done my bachelor's thesis. One of the coauthors of my book was to have been a Tufts Mechanical Engineering Professor by the name of John Sununu (yes, that John Sununu), but he and the other coauthor dropped out of the project before the contract was signed. So I wrote the short book myself.

Bob Benedict's measurement book, the third edition of which is still in print, surfaced several years ago, during a discussion I was having with one of my Wiley editors,

xxiv PREFACE

Bob Argentieri, about possible projects we could collaborate on. It turned out that no one had attempted to update Benedict's book. I have not been a practicing engineer for some time, so I was not in a position to do an update as a single author—or even with a collabo-rator or two. Most of my career life has been in scientific and technical publishing, how-ever, and for over a decade I have conceived of, and edited, numerous handbooks for several publishers. (I also write fiction, but that is another story.) So, it was natural for me to think about using Benedict's book as the kernel of a much larger and broader reference work dealing with engineering measurements. The idea, formed during that discussion, that I might edit a contributed handbook on engineering measurements took hold, and with the affable and expert guidance of my other Wiley editor, George Telecki, the volume you are holding in your hands, or reading on an electronic device, came into being.

Like many such large reference works, this handbook went through several iterations before the final table of contents was set, although the general plan for arrangement of chapters has been the same throughout the project. The initial print version of the hand-book is divided into two volumes. The chapters are arranged essentially by engineering discipline. The first volume contains 30 chapters related to five engineering disciplines, which are divided into three parts:

Part I, Civil and Environmental Engineering, which contains seven chapters, all but one of them dealing with measurement and testing techniques for structural health monitoring, GIS and computer mapping, highway bridges, environmental engineer-ing, hydrology, and mobile source emissions (the exception being the chapter on traffic congestion management, which describes the deployment of certain measurements);

Part II, Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering, which contains 16 chapters, all of them dealing with techniques for measuring dimensions, surfaces, mass properties, force, resistive strain, vibration, acoustics, temperature, pressure, velocity, flow, heat flux, heat transfer for non-boiling two-phase flow, solar energy, wind energy, human movement, and physiological flow;

Part III, Industrial Engineering, which contains seven chapters dealing with statistical quality control, evaluating and selecting technology-based projects, manufacturing systems evaluation, measuring performance of chemical process equipment, indus-trial energy efficiency, industrial waste auditing, and organizational performance measurement.

The second volume contains 23 chapters divided into three parts:

Part IV, Materials Properties and Testing, which contains 15 chapters dealing with measurement of viscosity, tribology, corrosion, surface properties, and thermal con-ductivity of engineering materials; properties of metals, alloys, polymers, and par-ticulate composite materials; nondestructive inspection; and testing of metallic materials, ceramics, plastics, and plastics processing;

Part V, Instrumentation, which contains five chapters covering electronic equipment used for measurements;

Part VI, Measurement Standards, which contains three chapters covering units and standards, measurement uncertainty and error analysis.

PREFACE XXV

Major reference works, like this handbook, are generally incomplete when they are first published. Editors cannot wait for tardy contributors, some contributors simply can-not manage to deliver their chapters no matter how much time they are given, and contrib-utors cannot be secured for all the chapters an editor has in mind for a reference work. Among the topics that were either contracted for but were not delivered or for which contributors were not found are surveying engineering, engineering seismology, construc-tion materials properties, turbulence, water quality, wastewater engineering, trace gases in the atmosphere, experimental methods, experimental design, shape and deformation, thermal systems, energy audits, electrical properties of materials, rheology, software engi-neering, biomedical electronics, physiology, dielectric properties of tissues, productivity, remote sensing, and data analysis.

Of course, such a list, when combined with the chapters being published, does not exhaust the list of possible topics for a measurements handbook. Be that as it may, the usual practice has been to attempt to include additional topics, together with updates of existing chapters, in new editions of a reference work, which tend to appear in 5-to-10-year, or longer, intervals. I have done this successfully in the Mechanical Engineers' Handbook that I edit for Wiley. That work is now, in its forthcoming fourth edition, a four-volume handbook, in contrast to the single-volume first and second editions.

In the case of this measurements handbook, however, George Telecki has proposed that the online version be dynamic, with 20 or so articles added annually. Furthermore, cover-age will be expanded beyond engineering disciplines to include chemistry, life sciences, and physics, thereby justifying the handbook's title, Handbook of Measurement in Science and Engineering. In addition, existing chapters will be updated as the need arises. I have campaigned for years to get my publishers to adopt this scheme, and I am gratified that Wiley intends to pursue it. I will attempt to get the others to follow suit.

Thanks to Kari Capone for shepherding the manuscript toward production and to the stalwarts Kristen Parrish and Shirley Thomas, for bringing the handbook home. Thanks, also, to my wife Arlene, who helps me with everything else.
