INSTRUMENTATION
- defined as the art and science of
measurement and control of process
variables within a production or
manufacturing area.
A COLLECTION OF INSTRUMENTS OR THEIR
APPLICATION FOR THE PURPOSE OF
OBSERVATION , MEASUREMENT OR CONTROL
Control engineers are responsible for the research, design, development and
control devices/systems, typically in manufacturing facilities and plants.
The practice uses sensors to measure the output performance of the device being
controlled and those measurements can be used to give feedback to the input
actuators that can make corrections toward desired performance.
When a device is designed to perform without the need of human inputs for
correction it is called automatic control (such as cruise control for regulating a
car's speed).

WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE
OF CALIBRATION ?
Since the instruments operate within
larger system in sequential loops,no
instrument within such a loop can perform
its assigned function in the process
unless it receives accurate information
from other instrument within the loop
WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE
OF CALIBRATION ?
It is a quality assurance requirement
SAFETY
WHEN TO CALIBRATE ?
1.Upon Installation
2. After Repair
3.Rough Handling
4.Extended Shutdown
5. Environmental Change
6. Remounting Within a System
ACCURACY and PRECISION
ACCURACY is the measurement of how
closely inputs match outputs

SPAN ERROR
THE ORIGIN OF THE IDEAL AND
SIGNAL LINES ON THE OUTPUT GRAPH
ARE THE SAME BUT THE STRAIGHT
SIGNAL LINE REPRESENTS AN ANGLE
DIFFERENT FROM THE IDEAL . THIS

NONLINEARITY
An error that could indicate the need
for instrument repair.It is seen in an
input/output graph as a curved signal line
that corresponds with the ideal at its
origin and upper limit readings (and
sometimes at its 50% reading as well)
