INTRODUCTION MEASUREMENTS AND INSTRUMENTATION

What are the different types of measuring instruments commonly used in the field of instrumentation?

• Spectrophotometers

• Accelerometers

• Thermocouples, pressure gauges, flow meters, level sensors, pH meters, tachometers

• Voltmeters

Explain the importance of calibration procedures for measuring instruments.

• Calibration procedures are important for ensuring accuracy and reliability of measurements by comparing instrument readings to known standards and making necessary adjustments.

• Calibration procedures are only needed for new instruments, not older ones

• Calibration procedures only apply to certain instruments, not all

• Calibration procedures are unnecessary and waste time

Convert 5 meters to feet. (1 meter = 3.28084 feet)

• 15.5 feet

• 16.4042 feet

• 17.2 feet

• 14.8 feet

Convert 500 grams to kilograms. (1 kilogram = 1000 grams)

• 0.5 kilograms

• 2 kilograms

• 1.5 kilograms

• 0.3 kilograms

Why is it essential to understand units of measurement conversion in the field of instrumentation?

• To confuse others with incorrect data

• To make the process more complicated than necessary

• To waste time on unnecessary calculations

• It is essential to ensure accurate readings, compare data, and communicate effectively.
