INSTRUMENTS
Role of transducer in E. Lab
Transducer is a device which, when actuated by energy in one transmission system, supplies energy in the same form or in other form to a second transmission system. This energy transmission may be Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical, Optical or Thermal. TYPE OF TRANSDUCERS
1) 2) Electrical Mechanical
LVDT
LVDT (Linear Variable Displacement Transformer):
Precision of LVDT Movements as small as a few millionths of an inch Usually measurements are taken on the order of 12 inches Some LVDTs have capabilities to measure up to 20 inches Inner Structure
STRAIN GAUGE
A strain gauge is a device used to measure the strain of an object. Invented by Edward E Simmons and Arthur C. Ruge in 1938. The gauge is attached to the object by a suitable adhesive. As the object is deformed, the foil is deformed, causing its electrical resistance to change. This resistance change, usually measured using a Wheatstone bridge.

Reservoir: The compressed air from the compressor is stored in the reservoir.
Unloader Valve: This maintains pressure in the reservoir at 8bar.When the pressure goes above 8 bar it immediately releases the pressurized air to bring the system to 8-bar pressure. Air Dryer: This removes the moisture from the atmospheric air and prevents corrosion of theRESEARCH DESIGN & STANDARD reservoir. ORGANISATION

Dual Brake Valve: When the driver applies brakes, depending upon the pedal force this valve releases air from one side to another. Graduated Hand Control Valve: This valve takes care of the parking brakes. Brake Chamber: The air from the reservoir flows through various valves and finally reaches the brake chamber which activates the S-cam in the brake shoe to apply the brakes in the front Actuators: The air from the reservoir flows through various valves and finally reaches the brake chamber, which activates the S-cam in the brake shoe to apply the brakes in the rear.

Air brakes are used in commercial vehicles, which require a heavier braking effort . Compressed air from compressor passes through the unloader valve and maintains its pressure. This air is stored in the reservoir. From the reservoir it goes to the Brake Chambers through many brake valves. In the brake chamber this pneumatic force is converted into the mechanical force and then it is converted into the rotational torque by the slack adjuster, which is connected to S-cam. This torque applies air brakes. Pipelines connect the brake system components.

Special Features of Electro Pneumatic Assisted Brake system Test Rig:EP Assist Brake System Test Rig can simulate a twin pipe graduated application and graduated release in 30 coach train formation. Simultaneous Application and Release of brakes in EP Assist mode in the entire 30 coach or in the number of selected coaches. Reduces the braking application and release timing in comparison to Conventional Brake System. Touch Panel based User Interface.
Testing can be done in 3 modes - Automatic -Semi Automatic -Manual
