1.) What is the difference between differential pressure and delta pressure?
Differential pressure means difference between high pressure and low pressure. Delta pressure means it is the pressure drop
2.) What is Cryogenic?
Cryogenic means to work in lower temperature range (-50 and below than that)
3.) Why use MMWC unit?
Milli meter water column used to measure pressure BASICS OF PNEUMATIC INSTRUMENTS FLOW MEASUREMENT uses compressed air to transmit and control energy. process of measuring fluid in your plant or industry Pneumatic systems are used in controlling train doors, automatic production lines, mechanical clamps, etc YOU CAN MEASURE FLOW THROUGH A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT DEVICES WHAT ARE PNEUMATIC SYSTEMS USED FOR? • Coriolis The pneumatic systems used in the industry are usually driven by compressed air or compressed inert gases. A centrally • Differential Pressure located, electrically powered compressor drives cylinders, air motors and other pneumatic devices. • Vortex
DISADVANTAGES OF PNEUMATIC INSTRUMENTS • Magnetic
• Sensitivity to vibration, temperature changes, mounting • Ultrasonic
position and the like affect calibration accuracy to a much greater extent for pneumatic instruments than electronic • Turbine instruments. • Ositive Displacement Meters • ADVANTAGES OF PNEUMATIC INSTRUMENTS
• A decisive advantage is the intrinsic safety of pneumatic field
instruments. Instruments that do not work with electricity can not generate electrical sparks. This is very important in “classified” industrial environments where there are gases, liquids, powders and explosive dusts. PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER BASICS OF VARIABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES: an industrial solid-state computer that monitors inputs and a type of motor controller that drives an electric motor by outputs, and makes logic-based decisions for automated varying the frequency and voltage supplied to the electric motor. processes or machines. PID SENSORS (PHOTOIONIZATION DETECTOR) PLC PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE used to measure hazardous substance groups or can even be adjusted to measure individual substances. 1.) LADDER LOGIC is one of the most commonly used PLC languages. In it, symbols represent MANY DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS opening and closing relays, counters, timers, PID sensor technology is very versatile and can be used, for shift registers, and mathematical operations. example 2.) FUNCTION BLOCK DIAGRAM (FBD). It describes functions between input and output variables. ✓ for clearance measurements during shutdowns in the The function, represented by blocks, connects chemical and petrochemical industries input and output variables. 3.) STRUCTURED TEXT (ST) is a high-level language ✓ monitoring operations in shafts and enclosed spaces that uses sentence commands. In ST, programmers can use “if/then/else,” “SQRT,” or ✓ detecting leaks “repeat/until” statements to create programs. 4.) INSTRUCTION LIST (IL) is a low-level language with functions and variables defined by a simple list. Program control is done by jump instructions and sub-routines with optional parameters 5.) SEQUENTIAL FUNCTION CHART (SFC) language is a method of programming complex control systems. It uses basic building blocks that run their own sub-routines. Program files are written in other programming languages. SFC divides large and complicated programming tasks into smaller and more manageable tasks. ANALOG AND DIGITAL TRANSMITTER LIGHT ON AND DARK ON MODES FOR PHOTOELECTRIC ANALOG SIGNAL LIGHT ON (LO) Simply we can say,a signal which varies continously with time. means that the sensor’s output is only enabled or ON when it receives light. Otherwise, the output remains OFF. From the real world itself we can found out so many examples for analog signals.sound,light etc.. DARK ON (DO) means the opposite; when light is received, the output is OFF. But in the case of instrumentaton we are using 4-20 ma or 0-20 ma as analog signals.Here the voltage between controller and The sensor’s output is only enabled or ON when it is dark or instrument is kept constant and taking the current as signal when it receives no light. See the figure below for further explanation. DIGITAL SIGNAL Digital signal is discrete to time.
Actually digitally signal is sampled from analog signal. In the
conventional method they use two discreet levels for transmitting the signal from instrument to controller. Logic high And Logic low.
Relays are used for implement the digital signal transmission.
Recently, different types of digital signals are introduced for communication between instrument and controller.
LOAD CELLS INSTRUMENT CALIBRATION is one of the primary processes
a type of force transducer. They convert the kinetic energy of a used to maintain instrument accuracy. force such as tension, compression, pressure, or torque into electrical energy; more specifically as a measurable electrical Calibration is the process of configuring an instrument to signal. provide a result for a sample within an acceptable range
