Introduction – Types
Automa<c – does not require service of an operator in fulfilling its func<on
Manual – requires service of an operator
Self operated – instrument like mercury-‐in-‐thermometer derives its power wholly from
thermal expansion of mercury
Power operated – instrument requires a source of auxiliary power such as compressed air,
electricity, hydraulic supply or mechanical source of power.
Self contained – instrument such as mercury-‐in-‐thermometer, all the parts from primary
element to func<oning element are contained in one assembly
Non-‐self contained -‐ primary element will be located at some distance, say 15 – 100 Q from the
secondary element. Indica<ng element may also be remotely located

Introduction – Static and Dynamic Characteristic
-‐ Sta<c characteris<c of an instrument are, in general those that must
be considered when instrument is used to measure a condi<on or
quan<ty not varying with <me.
-‐ On the other hand, when industrial instrument is used for
measuring quan<<es that fluctuates with <me is called as the
dynamic characteris<c of the equipment.

Introduction – Static Characteristics (desirable)
Accuracy – Non-‐self contained instrument
-‐ Many instruments used in industries are not self contained but are
composed of separate units/elements.
-‐ For example, in a pressure-‐gage transmiher receiver system there are
separate units or elements.
-‐ The accuracy for these kind of systems are obtained by the accuracy
limit specified for each unit/limit of the system.
-‐ Hence the accuracy of each unit be within ±a, within ±b, within ±c and
so on.

DriQ – Slow change in response or output of an instrument Zero driQ – Changes in instrument output when the input signal remains zero.
– In other words, the changes that occur in the output when there is zero input. – In an indica<ng or recording element it is easily corrected by shiQing the pen or pointer posi<on.
– It is due to some kind of simple effect such as permanent set or slippage.

DriQ – Slow change in response or output of an instrument Example -‐ Assume that an instrument is used in calibra<on where input to and output from the instrument is made. The following data is available from the calibra<on and given in four tables. Table. 3 Table. 4

• Changes in instrument output when the input signal remains zero. • In other words, the changes that occur in
the output when there is zero input.

Dead Zone
-‐ It is the largest change in the physical variable to which the
instrument does not respond.
-‐ i.e. the region up to which the instrument does not respond for an
input is called dead zone.

Speed of Response -‐ The quickness with which the instrument respond to a change in the
output signal.
Fidelity -‐ It is the ability of the measurement system to reproduce the output in
the same form as the input. i.e. if the input of the system is sine wave, the system is said to have 100% fidelity if the output is a sine wave

Lag -‐ It is the delay in response of an instrument to a change in the input
signal.
-‐ It is also called as measuring lag .
-‐ Response of a system immediately begins on a change in measured value variable may also called dead <me.

Dynamic Error -‐ Difference between indicated quan<ty and the true value of the <me
varying quan<ty is called dynamic error. Time Constant
-‐ Generally, <me required for an instrument to indicate reading resul<ng from an input signal.
