|---|---|---|
| 1 | Basic concepts of Instrumentation: generalized instrumentation systems block diagram representation, scope of instrumentation in Industrial organization. Measurement systems: static (accuracy, sensitivity, linearity, precision, resolution, threshold, range, hysteresis, dead band, backlash, drift), impedance matching and loading, dynamic characteristics (types, fidelity, speed of response, dynamic error). | |
| 2 | Definition of errors: systematic errors, instrumental errors, environmental errors, random errors, loading errors, random errors, source of errors in measuring instruments, Uncertainties types, propagation of uncertainties) | |
| 3 | Transducers: Classification, Active, Passive, Mechanical, Electrical, their comparison. Selection of Transducers, Principle and working of following types: Displacement transducers - Resistive (Potentiometric, Strain Gauges – Types, Gauge Factor, bridge circuits, Semi-conductor strain gauge) Capacitive (diaphragm), Inductive (LVDT-Principle and characteristics, Hall effect sensors). | |
| 4 | Sensors: Piezoelectric (Element and their properties, Piezo Electric coefficients. Equivalent circuit and frequency response of P.E. Transducers), light (photo-conductive, photo emissive, photo voltaic, semiconductor, LDR), Temperature (electrical and non-electrical). Pressure (force summing devices, load cell) | |
