What is Instrumentation?

Instrumentation is
the
use
of measuring
instruments to monitor and control a process. It is the
art and science of measurement and control of
process variables within a production, laboratory, or
manufacturing area.

What is Instrumentation?
We can look at instrumentation work in two ways, by
techniques or by applications.
When we consider instrumentation by technique,
We survey one scientific field, such as radioactivity or
ultrasonics, and look at all the ways in which it can be
used to make useful measurements.
When we study instrumentation by application,
We cover the different techniques to measure a particular
quantity. Under flow metering, for instance, we look at
many methods, including tracers, ultrasonics, or
pressure measurement.

Why Mechanical Measurements

Importance of Measurement is
simply and eloquently expressed in
the following statement of famous
physicist Lord Kelvin: I often say that
when you can measure what you are
speaking about and can express it in
numbers, you know something about it;
when you cannot express it in numbers
your knowledge is of meager and
unsatisfactory kind

Why Mechanical Measurements

If you can not measure it you can never
improve it (unknown)

Activity
Let us Divide the class in 5 groups
You Must have done many measurements
by your self or have at least witnessed a
lot of measurement being done. So define
in your own words what is Measurement
So draw at least 3 Measuring devices that
you have used, and its applications.
Second. Write down How well you plan for
an experiments
