ME 3261: Instrumentation and Measurement

Course Outline
Course Code ME 3261 Credit 1.50
Course Title Instrumentation and Contact Hour/Week 1 hour 30 mins.
Measurement

Semester/Term: 3rd Year 2nd Semester

Academic Session: Fall-2023

Course Teacher: Tashin Ahmed Apon, Lecturer (Full-Adj.), ME, BAUET

Course Objectives:

The basic purpose of instrumentation in an industry is to obtain maximum output from the industry with
the minimum usage of raw materials, time, energy, manpower, etc. With the growth of continuous
manufacturing the need for continuous measurement of pressure, temperature, level and flow became
necessary. The main objective of this course is to explain the operation, performance and application of
Digital Measuring Instruments to the students.

1. Instrument: A device or process used to calculate the current value of a quantity being observed. 2.
Measurement: the process of determining the quantity, degree, or capacity by direct or indirect
comparison with the acknowledged standards of the system units in use.
