Overview
A primary element is a sensor or detector that responds quantitatively to the measured variable and performs the initial measurement operation. A primary element performs the initial...
Overview
Pressure is measured as a force per unit area. Pressure measurements are important not only for the monitoring and control of pressure itself but also for measuring other parameters, such...
Metrology
Mechanical measurements on machined parts are very precise, but not as precise as some other fields. Table 3.1 provides some perspective.
Table 3.1: Measurement Precision In...
13.1 Introduction
Traditional surface finish is small when compared with dimension and the demands made on instruments have been extreme. This has required sophisticated mechanical design. This...
For process manufacturers, regular calibration of instruments across a manufacturing plant is common practice. In plant areas where instrument accuracy is critical to product quality or safety,...
