Instrumentation and Measurement Individual Assignment FOR G3 Section A and B

Max Mark 5%
Directly copy from other group will disqualify your work.
1. An analog indicating instrument with a scale range of 0 - 5.0 V shows a voltage of 2.65 V. The
true value of a voltage is 2.70 volts.
a. What are the values of absolute error and correction?
b. Express the error as a function of the true value and full scale deflection.
2. A pressure gauge of range 50 bar is stated to have an error of 0.15 bar when calibrated by
manufacturer. Determine
a) The percentage error on the basis of maximum full scale value.
b) The possible error as the percentage of the indicated value when a reading of 10 bar
obtained.
3. A pressure indicator showed a reading as 89 bar on scale reading of 0 – 100 bar. If the true
value was 88.5 bar, determine;
a. static error
b. static correction
c. relative static error
4. An analogue indicating instrument with scale range of 0 – 10.0V shows a voltage of 5.30V.
The true value of voltage is 5.40 volts.
a. what are the values of static error and correction?
b. Express the error as a function of the true value and full scale deflection.
