MEMs accelerometers are ideally suited to inclination measurement than other methodologies. This session will address the challenges encountered when designing a dual-axis tilt sensor using a MEMs accelerometer including measurement resolution, signal conditioning, single- vs.
dual-axis, angle computation, and calibration.
Impedance Measurement: The measurement of complex impedance is widely used across industrial, commercial, automotive, healthcare, and consumer markets, and can include applications such as proximity sensing, inductive transducers, metallurgy and corrosion detection, loudspeaker impedance, biomedical, virus detection, blood coagulation factor, and network impedance analysis. This session will cover the concepts, approaches, and challenges of performing complex impedance measurements, and will present a system-level solution for impedance conversion.
Weigh Scale Measurement: Most common industrial weigh scale applications use a bridge-type load-cell sensor, with a voltage output that is directly proportional to the load weight placed on it. This session examines the basic parameters of a bridge-type load-cell sensor, such as the number of varying elements, impedance, excitation, sensitivity (mV/V), errors, and drift. It will also discuss the various components of the signal conditioning chain and present solutions with high dynamic range.

Classification of instruments
• Analog instrument
The measured parameter value is display by the moveable pointer. The pointer will
moved continuously with the variable parameter/analog signal which is measured.
The reading is inaccurate because of parallax error (parallel) during the skill reading.
E.g: ampere meter, voltage meter, ohm meter etc.
• Digital instrument
The measured parameter value is display in decimal (digital) form which the reading can
be read thru in numbers form. Therefore, the parallax error is not existed and terminated.
The concept used for digital signal in a digital instrument is logic binary ‘0’and ‘1’.
1.2 Characteristic of instruments
Figure 1.1 presents a generalized model of a simple instrument. The physical process to
be measured is in the left of the figure and the measurand is represented by an observable
physical variable X.
Figure 1.1: Simple instrument mode
Two basic characteristic of an instrument is essential for selecting the most suitable
instrument for specific measuring jobs:
1. Static characteristic
2. Dynamic characteristic
Static characteristic of an instrument are, in general, considered for instruments which are
used to measure an unvarying process condition.
Several terms of static characteristic that have discussed:
1. Instrument – A device or mechanism used to determine the present value of a
quantity under observation.
2. Measurement – The process of determining the amount, degree, capacity by
comparison (direct or indirect) with the accepted standards of the system units
being used.
3. Accuracy – The degree of exactness (closeness) of a measurement compared to
the expected (desired) value.
4. Resolution – The smallest change in a measured variable to which instruments
will response. Also known as ‘Threshold’.
5. Precision – A measure of consistency or repeatability of measurements, i.e.
successive readings do not differ or the consistency of the instrument output for a
given value of input. A very precise reading though is not perfectly an accurate
reading.

ecision n − Pr = 1− with Xn = measured value
X = average value or expected value
Process of measurement
Measurement is essentially the act, or the result, of a quantitative comparison between a
given quantity and a quantity of the same kind chosen as a unit. The result of
measurement is expressed by a number representing the ratio of the unknown quantity to
the adopted unit of measurement.
The step taken before measure:
1. Procedure of measurement: Identified the parameter or variable to be measured,
how to record the result
2. Characteristic of parameter: Should know the parameter that to be measured; ac,
dc, frequency or etc.
3. Quality: Time and cost of equipment, the instrument ability, the measurement
knowledge and suitable result.
4. Instrument: Choose a suitable equipment; multimeter, voltmeter, oscilloscope or
etc.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

3. Measurement
◦ A method to obtain information regarding the physical
values of the variable.
Instrumentation
◦ Devices used in measurement system
3
4. Physical quantity: variable such as pressure,
temperature, mass, length, etc.
Data: Information obtained from the
instrumentation/measurement system as a result of the
measurements made of the physical quantities
Information: Data that has a calibrated numeric
relationship to the physical quantity.
Parameter: Physical quantity within defined (numeric)
limits.
4
6. Measurand: Physical quantity being measured.
Calibration: Implies that there is a numeric relationship
throughout the whole instrumentation system and that it
is directly related to an approved national or international
standard.
Test instrumentation: It is a branch of instrumentation
and most closely associated with the task of gathering
data during various development phases encountered in
engineering, e.g. flight test instrumentation for testing
and approving aircraft.
6
Terminology
7. Transducer: A device that converts one form of energy
to another.
Electronic transducer: It has an input or output that is
electrical in nature (e.g., voltage, current or resistance).
Sensor: Electronic transducer that converts physical
quantity into an electrical signal.
Actuator: Electronic transducer that converts electrical
energy into mechanical energy.
7
8. In the case of process industries and industrial
manufacturing…
◦ To improve the quality of the product
◦ To improve the efficiency of production
◦ To maintain the proper operation.
8
9. To acquire data or information (hence data
acquisition) about parameters, in terms of:
◦ putting the numerical values to the physical quantities
◦ making measurements otherwise inaccessible.
◦ producing data agreeable to analysis (mostly in
electrical form)
Data Acquisition Software (DAS) – data is
acquired by the instrumentation system.

11. Direct comparison
◦ Easy to do but… less accurate
e.g. to measure a steel bar
Indirect comparison
◦ Calibrated system; consists of several devices to
convert, process (amplification or filtering) and display
the output
e.g. to measure force from strain gages located in a
structure
11
12. Stage 1: A detection-transducer or sensor-transducer, stage; e.g.
Bourdon tube
Stage 2: A signal conditioning stage; e.g. gearing, filters, bridges

14. Active Instruments
◦ the quantity being measured simply modulates (adapts to) the
magnitude of some external power source.
Passive Instruments
◦ the instrument output is entirely produced by the quantity being
measured
Difference between active & passive instruments is the level of
measurement resolution that can be obtained.

15. e.g. Float-type petrol tank level indicator
15
Circuit excited
by external
power source
(battery)
16. The change in petrol level moves a potentiometer arm,
and the output signal consists of a proportion of the
external voltage source applied across the two ends of
the potentiometer.
The energy in the output signal comes from the external
power source: the primary transducer float system is
merely modulating the value of the voltage from this
external power source.
16
18. The pressure of the fluid is translated into a
movement of a pointer against scale.
The energy expanded in moving the pointer is
derived entirely from the change in pressure
measured: there are no other energy inputs to
the system.
18
19. An analogue instrument gives an output that
varies continuously as the quantity being
measured; e.g. Deflection-type of pressure
gauge
19
20. A digital instrument has an output that varies in
discrete steps and only have a finite number of
values; e.g. Revolution counter

22. To define physical quantities in type and magnitude
Units of measurement may be defined as the standard
measure of each kind of physical quantity.
Efforts were made to standardise systems of
measurement so that instrument professionals and
specialist in other disciplines could communicate among
themselves.
22
23. Two types of units are used in science and engineering
◦ Fundamental units ( or quantities)
E.g. meter (length), kilogram (mass), second (time)
◦ Derived units (or quantities); i.e. All units which can be
expressed in terms of fundamental units
E.g. The volume of a substance is proportional to its length (l),
breadth (b) and height (h), or V= lx b x h.
So, the derived unit of volume (V) is cube of meter (m 3
).

27. As a physical representation of a unit of measurement
It is used for obtaining the values of the physical
properties of other equipment by comparison methods;
e.g.
◦ The fundamental unit of mass in the SI system is the
kilogram, defined as the mass of a cubic decimeter of
water at its temperature of maximum density of 4°C.

Calibration consists of comparing the output of the
instrument or sensor under test against the output of
an instrument of known accuracy (higher accuracy)
when the same input (the measured quantity is applied
to both instrument)
The procedure is carried out for a range of inputs covering
the whole measurement range of the instrument or sensor
Ensures that the measuring accuracy of all instruments and
sensors used in a measurement system is known over the
whole measurement range, provided that the calibrated
instruments and sensors are used in environmental conditions
that are the same as those under which they were calibrated
31. 31
Calibration involve a comparison
of an instrument with either:
1. A primary standard
2. A secondary standard
3. A known input
Example:
Weighing instrument
Standard weight
measurement facility
(for example: NIST)
Another weighing
instrument of higher
accuracy
Mass standard
32. The method and apparatus for performing measurement
instrumentation calibrations vary widely.
A rule that should be followed is that the calibration
standard should be at least 10 times as accurate as the
instrument being calibrated.
By holding some inputs constant, varying others and
recording the output(s) develop the desired static input-
output relations. Many trial and runs are needed.
