Basic Instrumentation fundamentals

Image
Here we are for knowing about what is basically instrumentation. Automation related all helpful  topics  are  included  with Diagram Introduction :-It is branch of engineering which deals with the measurement monitoring display and plant control operation. Normally basic instrumentation question and answer  ask by interviewer in interview, but you should knowledge about basic instrumentation behavior and working conditions. INSTRUMENT Instrument is device. which is used for measure, monitor , display etc. of a process Variables. so question is what is process variables .   Process variables are:- Flow, Pressure, Temperature, Level and Quality.   Here quality stands for (%,O2,Co2,Ph etc) Question-1-How to define all the process variables and state there unit of measurement ?            Answer-1-  As we know about process variables are :-  Flow Pressure Temperature  Level   Quality.  ...

Level Measurement

Image
Accurate continuous measurement of volume of fluid in containers has always been a challenge to industry. This is even more so in the nuclear station environment where the fluid could be acidic/caustic or under very high pressure/temperature. We will now examine the measurement of fluid level in vessels and the effect of temperature and pressure on this measurement. We will also consider the operating environment on the measurement and the possible modes of device failure. Level Measurement Basics Very simple systems employ external sight glasses or tubes to view the height and hence the volume of the fluid. Others utilize floats connected to variable potentiometers or rheostats that will change the resistance according to the amount of motion of the float. This signal is then inputted to transmitters that send a signal to an instrument calibrated to read out the height or volume. In this module, we will examine the more challenging situations that require inferential level measurement...
