    Part I Measurement Concepts 1 Basic Concepts and Qualities of Measurement [Ei mopucrion The basic purpose of instrumentation in a process is to obtain the requisite infor- mation pertaining to the successful completion of the process. A broad definition Of instrumentation may be given as follows: Instramentation is the philosophy based on: () the preposition that the condition of human society and of industrial pro- cesses and operations, i. the force of nature, should be controlled, (@) the principle that, before a condition can be controlled, it must be measured, (ii) the dictum that, in order to measure a condition or property, it must be segregated, and (iv) the logic “If you control it manually you should contro! it automatically The progress of instrumentation in industry, as it is known today, took place largely in the 1930s, but began with the introduction of a reliable instrument for recording temperature. With the growth of continuous manufacturing, the need for continuous measurement of pressure, temperature, level, flow, etc. became urgent. There are continuous demands for improvements in the quality of mea- surement and for development of new methods based on newly found physical and chemical laws and effects [BRE Measurement AND ITs AIM Measuring is as old as civilization. Its an essential part of the interaction between humanity and the physieel world. It gives us a repeatable and dependable way of ‘quantifying the world in whick we ive. The process of measuring is essentially that ‘of comparing some unknown value witha value which is assumed to be known. The latter is called a standard. A measurement system (perhaps ealled an inserument oF scale or meter or analyzer) isa device designed to facilitate this comparison. 2 Industria Instrumentation and Control Therefore, measurement is a comparison of a given unknown quantity with one of its predetermined standard values adopted as a unit. The result of any mea- surement is a concrete number consisting of a unit of measurement having its particular name and the number which shows how many times this particular unit is contained in the quantity being measured The primary purpose of measurement in process industries and industrial manu- facturing is to sid in the economics of industrial operations by improving the ‘quality of the product and efficiency of production. For this purpose and for the maintenance of proper operation, measurement is very important [EM THE FUNCTIONAL ELEMENTS OF AN INSTRUMENT All instruments contain various parts that perform prescrited functions in con- verting a variable quantity or condition into a corresponding indication. Thus, the operation of an instrument can be described in terms of the functional elements. (various parts) of instrument systems. The functional elements of an instrument are indicated by various blocks in Fig. 1.1 dtc ssued Pima) veate Yavate ( ip i median /quariy| sloneat aa a 4 LeSieethe) Lastenetteal sential —~ ar arn hs »\ Presented oe Data (Observer
