ASSIGNMENT 3

Q.1. Describe with neat sketches the following types of primary detecting elements:

(i) Bourdon tubes

(ii) Bellows

(iii) Diaphragms

Q.2. Describe the methods for measurement of flow using (i) venturimeters and (ii) orifice
plates. Derive the expressions for flow rate in each case.

Q.3. Describe the working and construction of resistance thermometers. Describe the materials
used for RTDs along with their properties. Sketch their typical characteristics.
Q.4. Explain the construction and principle of working of a linear voltage differential
transformer (L.V.D.T). Explain how the magnitude and direction of the displacement of core
of an L.V.D.T. detected? Why is the frequency of excitation of primary winding kept very
high as compared to the frequency of the signal being detected?

Q.5. Describe the functioning of a stroboscope and explain how speed of a rotating shaft can
be measured by single pattern and multi-pattern disc.

Q.6. Describe the construction, working and theory of an electromagnetic type flow meter.
