Lecture 1 Introduction to measurement and instrumentation
Measurement Standards and Units Measuring system are composed of different elements and condition therefore it needs norms and standards 3 unit systems widely used-International System (SI), CGS System, English System Basic units - length, time, mass, temperature Derived units –area, volume, acceleration, force
International System of Units (SI) Base quantity Name Symbol SI base unit length meter m mass kilogram kg time second s electric current ampere A thermodynamic temperature kelvin K amount of substance mole mol luminous intensity candela cd The SI is founded on seven SI base units for seven base quantities assumed to be mutually independent, as given in Table 1.
Name Derived units Symbol SI base unit area square meter m2 volume cubic meter m3 velocity meter per second m/s acceleration Meter per second squared m/s-2 force m·kg·s-2 N pressure m-1·kg·s-2 Pa work m2·kg·s-2 Joule Derived Units - defined in terms of the seven base quantities via a system of quantity equations. Examples are:
Automotive Sensors Accelerometer Oxygen Sensor Airflow Sensor Oil Pressure CO Sensor Water Temperature
The need for measurement and instrumentation In industrial application, it is important for: 1) monitoring and control of a process 2) improving the quality of the product and efficiency of production 3) Safety purposes
A/D Converter Transducer Display Signal conditioner Typical Instrumentation System • Transducer - converts the measured value into another useful value (a sensor) • Signal conditioner- “conditions” the signal from the sensor • A/D Converter - changes the signal into a digital format • Computer - processes, displays, and records the signal
Sensor • Thermocouple • Resistance thermometer input output Thermocouple temperature e.m.f input output Resistance thermometer temperature Resistance change
Signal conditioner • Amplifier • Wheatstone bridge input output Amplifier Small e.m.f Larger voltage input Wheatstone bridge Amplifier Voltage change Larger voltage change Resistance change
Display • Scale • Computer input output scale movement of pointer current change input output DAS VDU analog signal digital signal readings
Temperature Control The Control System sets the current supplied to the heating elements in the furnace to keep the material temperature at the desired (setpoint) value. Furnace and Material Control System Temperature Sensor Desired Temperature
