The fundamental concept of the theory of measurement presented in this book is that a real and objective image of a measured state may be determined, based on both the known metrological properties of the instrument and the result obtained with it. The image is related to conventionally established reference states, reproduced by standards. Thus the basic subject of this book is modelling and standardizing as well as the theoretical and experimental evaluation and correction of errors. The methodology of measurement and the interpretation of results are also considered. Practical principles recommended by the author for applications in measurement are given for specific problems. The book is addressed to the designers and builders of measuring instruments, to physicists and engineers dealing with measurements, and to the students of metrological faculties.

Minor handling wear only. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This volume presents a rigorous mathematical approach to metrology, treating measurement as a systematic process of information transformation. Piotrowski's work moves away from purely descriptive instrumentation to develop a formal operator model of the measurement chain. The text defines measurement as the mapping of an input physical quantity into an output signal through a series of deterministic and stochastic transformations. The book is structured around the functional analysis of measurement systems. It provides detailed coverage of static and dynamic characteristics, utilizing Laplace and Fourier transforms to describe signal transmission and transducer response. A central theme is the optimisation of the measurement signal, specifically addressing the transition from analog physical phenomena to digital data. Piotrowski provides an in-depth analysis of systematic and random errors, employing probability theory to evaluate the reliability and accuracy of complex measurement structures. Key topics include the classification of measuring signals, the influence of external noise and interference, and the mathematical modelling of sensors and transducers. By focusing on the system-operator approach, the text offers a unified framework applicable to various fields of engineering, from thermal and mechanical sensing to electronic data acquisition. This work serves as a foundational reference for researchers and post-graduate students in control engineering and experimental physics who require a high-level mathematical basis for designing and interpreting modern measurement systems.
