What Is Instrumentation
Instrumentation is a branch of physics which deals with the measuring and controlling
variables in a process industry.
Some of the industrial process variables are Level, Pressure, Temperature, Humidity, Flow, pH,
Force, Speed etc.
Aim of Instrumentation:- To obtain maximum production (quality products) from the industry
with the minimum usage of raw materials.
Measurement
Instrumentation is used to measure many parameters (physical values). These parameters
include:
Pressure
Pressure is force per unit area applied in a direction perpendicular to the surface of an
object. Gauge pressure is the pressure relative to the local atmospheric or ambient
pressure. Pressure is measured in any unit of force divided by any unit of area. The SI unit
of pressure is the newton per square metre, which is called the pascal (Pa).
