Description

We are glad to present the 2nd edition of book entitled “Mechanical Engineering Measurements” for IInd Year Diploma, Semester IV in Mechanical and Automobile Engineering Group as per the “I” Scheme code syllabus prescribed by MSBTE.
We have observed the students facing extreme difficulties in understanding the basic principles and fundamental concepts without adequate solved problems along with the text.
To meet this basic requirement of students, sincere efforts have been made to present the subject matter with frequent use of figures and lots of numerical examples.
