- 19. DEFLECTION AND NULL TYPE • Physical effect generated by the measuring quantity • Equivalent opposing effect to nullify the physical effect caused by the quantity
- 20. ANALOG AND DIGITAL INSTRUMENTS • Physical variables of interest in the form of continuous or stepless variations • Physical variables are represented by digital quantities
- 21. ACTIVE AND PASSIVE INSTRUMENTS • Instruments are those that require some source of auxiliary power • The energy requirements of the instruments are met entirely from the input signal
- 22. Automatic and manually operated • Manually operated – requires the service of human operator • Automated – doesn't requires human operator
- 23. Contacting And Non Contacting Instruments • A contacting with measuring medium • Measure the desired input even though they are not in close contact with the measuring medium
- 24. Absolute and Secondary Instruments • These instruments give the value of the electrical quantity in terms of absolute quantities • Deflection of the instruments can read directly
- 25. Intelligent instruments • Microprocessors are incorporated with measuring instruments
- 26. Characteristics of Measuring Instrument • Sensitivity • Readability • Range of accuracy • Precision
- 27. Definition • Sensitivity- Sensitivity is defined as the ratio of the magnitude of response (output signal) to the magnitude of the quantity being measured (input signal) • Readability- Readability is defined as the closeness with which the scale of the analog instrument can be read
- 28. Definition • Range of accuracy- Accuracy of a measuring system is defined as the closeness of the instrument output to the true value of the measured quantity • Precision- Precision is defined as the ability of the instrument to reproduce a certain set of readings within a given accuracy
- 29. Sensitivity • If the calibration curve is liner, as shown, the sensitivity of the instrument is the slope of the calibration curve. • If the calibration curve is not linear as shown, then the sensitivity varies with the input.
- 30. Sensitivity This is the relationship between a change in the output reading for a given change of the input. (This relationship may be linear or non-linear.) Sensitivity is often known as scale factor or instrument magnification and an instrument with a large sensitivity (scale factor) will indicate a large movement of the indicator for a small input change.
- 31. Load Cell Force, F Output, Vo Output, Vo (V) Input, Fi (kN) Slope = 5 V/kN K Input, F (kN) Output, Vo (V) Sensitivity, K = 5 V/kN Block Diagram:
- 32. Example (1) A 0.01 Ω/A meter with 5 A fsd, Rm = Ω/A x A = 0.01 x 5 = 0.05 Ω Vmax across the Meter will be = 5 A x 0.05 Ω = 0.25 V for fsd. (2) A 0.1 Ω/A meter with 5 A fsd,will drop 2.5 V (i.e., it is 10 times less sensitive), which may bias the results
- 33. Readability • Readability is defined as the ease with which readings may be taken with an instrument. • Readability difficulties may often occur due to parallax errors when an observer is noting the position of a pointer on a calibrated scale
- 34. Readability What is the value ? What is the value ? What is the value ?
- 35. Accuracy • Accuracy = the extent to which a measured value agrees with a true value • The difference between the measured value & the true value is known as ‘Error of measurement’ • Accuracy is the quality of conformity
- 36. Example: Accuracy • Who is more accurate when measuring a book that has a true length of 17.0 cm? A : 17.0 cm, 16.0 cm, 18.0 cm, 15.0 cm B :: 15.5 cm, 15.0 cm, 15.2 cm, 15.3 cm
- 37. Precision • The precision of a measurement depends on the instrument used to measure it. • For example, how long is this block?
- 38. How big is the beetle? Measure between the head and the tail! Between 1.5 and 1.6 in Measured length: 1.54 in The 1 and 5 are known with certainty The last digit (4) is estimated between the two nearest fine division marks.
- 39. Example: Precision Who is more precise when measuring the same 17.0 cm book? A: 17.0 cm, 16.0 cm, 18.0 cm, 15.0 cm B :: 15.5 cm, 15.0 cm, 15.2 cm, 15.3 cm

- 42. Uncertainty • The word uncertainty casts a doubt about the exactness of the measurement results • True value = Estimated value + Uncertainty
- 43. Why Is There Uncertainty? • Measurements are performed with instruments, and no instrument can read to an infinite number of decimal places •Which of the instruments below has the greatest uncertainty in measurement?

- 46. Performance of Instruments • All instrumentation systems are characterized by the system characteristics or system response • There are two basic characteristics of Measuring instruments, they are – Static character – Dynamic character
- 47. Static Characteristics • The instruments, which are used to measure the quantities which are slowly varying with time or mostly constant, i.e., do not vary with time, is called ‘static characteristics’.
- 48. STATIC CHARACTERISTICS OF AN INSTRUMENTS • Accuracy • Precision • Sensitivity • Resolution • Threshold • Drift • Error • Repeatability • Reproducibility • Dead zone • Backlash • True value • Hysteresis • Linearity • Range or Span • Bias • Tolerance • Stability
- 49. Resolution This is defined as the smallest input increment change that gives some small but definite numerical change in the output.
- 50. Threshold This minimum value of input below which no output can be appeared is known as threshold of the instrument. input Output
- 51. Drift Drift or Zero drift is variation in the output of an instrument which is not caused by any change in the input; it is commonly caused by internal temperature changes and component instability. Sensitivity drift defines the amount by which instrument’s sensitivity varies as ambient conditions change.
- 52. input Output zero drift input Output sensitivity drift input Output sensitivity drift zero drift
- 53. • Error – The deviation of the true value from the desired value is called Error • Repeatability – It is the closeness value of same output for same input under same operating condition • Reproducibility - It is the closeness value of same output for same input under same operating condition over a period of time
- 54. Range • The ‘Range’ is the total range of values which an instrument is capable of measuring.
- 55. Hysteresis This is the algebraic difference between the average errors at corresponding points of measurement when approached from opposite directions, i.e. increasing as opposed to decreasing values of the input. Actual/ Input Value Measured Value Ideal Hysteresis is caused by energy storage/ dissipation in the system.
- 56. Zero stability The ability of the instrument to return to zero reading after the measured has returned to zero
- 57. Dead band This is the range of different input values over which there is no change in output value.
- 58. Linearity- The ability to reproduce the input characteristics symmetrically and linearly
- 59. • Backlash – Lost motion or free play of mechanical elements are known as backlash • True value – The errorless value of measured variable is known as true value • Bias – The Constant Error • Tolerance- Maximum Allowable error in Measurement
- 60. Dynamic Characteristics • The set of criteria defined for the instruments, which are changes rapidly with time, is called ‘dynamic characteristics’.
- 61. Dynamic Characteristics • Steady state periodic • Transient • Speed of response • Measuring lag • Fidelity • Dynamic error
- 62. • Steady state periodic – Magnitude has a definite repeating time cycle • Transient – Magnitude whose output does not have definite repeating time cycle • Speed of response- System responds to changes in the measured quantity
- 63. • Measuring lag – Retardation type :Begins immediately after the change in measured quantity – Time delay lag : Begins after a dead time after the application of the input • Fidelity- The degree to which a measurement system indicates changes in the measured quantity without error • Dynamic error- Difference between the true value of the quantity changing with time & the value indicated by the measurement system
- 64. Errors in Instruments • Error = True value – Measured value or • Error = Measured value - True value
- 65. Types of Errors • Error of Measurement • Instrumental error • Error of observation • Based on nature of errors • Based on control
- 66. Error of Measurement • Systematic error -Predictable way in accordance due to conditions change • Random error - Unpredictable manner • Parasitic error - Incorrect execution of measurement
- 67. Instrumental error • Error of a physical measure • Error of a measuring mechanism • Error of indication of a measuring instrument • Error due to temperature • Error due to friction • Error due to inertia
- 68. Error of observation • Reading error • Parallax error • Interpolation error
- 69. Nature of Errors • Systematic error • Random error
- 70. Based on control • Controllable errors – Calibration errors – Environmental (Ambient /Atmospheric Condition) Errors – Stylus pressure errors – Avoidable errors • Non - Controllable errors
- 71. Correction • Correction is defined as a value which is added algebraically to the uncorrected result of the measurement to compensate to an assumed systematic error. • Ex : Vernier Caliper, Micrometer
- 72. Calibration • Calibration is the process of determining and adjusting an instruments accuracy to make sure its accuracy is with in manufacturing specifications.
- 73. Interchangeability • A part which can be substituted for the component manufactured to the small shape and dimensions is known a interchangeable part. • The operation of substituting the part for similar manufactured components of the shape and dimensions is known as interchangeability.
