Editorial Review:

Product Description:
In the field of mechanical measurements, Mechanical Measurements continues to set the standard. With an emphasis on precision and clarity, the authors have consistently crafted a text that has helped thousands of students grasp the fundamentals of the field. Mechanical Measurements 6th edition  gives students a methodical, well thought-out presentation that covers fundamental issues common to all areas of measurement in Part One, followed by individual chapters on applied areas of measurement in Part Two. This modular format fits several different course formats and accommodates a wide variety of skill levels.




Rating: - Stay Away
This book is just terrible. No examples, unrelated problems, and poorly written text is all you will find.

Example: One question asks you to refer to you 'basic vibration textbook' to find out how to do the problem (as they do not explain in the book). What is the point of questions like this?

Also many times you will find yourself staring in awe at the wording in this book. There are many sentences written so poorly that they simply have no meaning.

Rating: - pathetic
This book is absolutely useless for college level students. It DOES NOT explains problems in detail and you would have to spend hours in understanding what they are trying to do.
Absolutely CRAPY book. I WONT recomment this to anyone

Rating: - Great NEW edition
The authors, in their new 6th edition of Mechanical Measurements, have overhauled most of the book. The new edition is much improved and makes great reference book for various measurement techniques. Very well-indexed.

Rating: - Worth Keeping
This text provides a good, basic overview of methods for measuring several physical phenomena. The treatment of most of these is average. However, thermal measurement is given an improved, more thorough coverage. Personally, I have primarily used this text as a reference and guide for Chapter 3: Assessing and Presenting Experimental Data. I have found the sections on Error and, especially, Uncertainty to be very instructive and practical for use during college and post-graduation (as a mechanical ... Read More

Rating: - Try another measurements book.
This book was assigned to me as part of a college mechanical engineering course. This book was hard to follow and strayed from the course description. It contains aspects of electronics and mechanical design where the math problems are not fully explained and worked out and the machine descriptions are extremely brief. It is possible to get an education out this book, but a person would really have to strain. If you buy this book, I recommend that you get a generic study guide to accompany it.
