 Worth Keeping Aug 06, 2002
By An Engineer
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 engineer in research and development).

 Try another measurements book. Jul 26, 1998
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.

 Great NEW edition Sep 17, 2006
By TK
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.

Well-written book covering a very useful topic Sep 07, 2009
By David P. Marple
"Dave M"
This book has been very useful for me as an EE. It is very well written and is laid out in a clear manner. I've worked with Dr. Marangoni and discussed this book with him and he is a very intelligent and insightful person. This book has been in existence at least 25-30 years and is as applicable today as it was when it was written.
 Stay Away Feb 24, 2008
By Snagots
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.
