1 1.3 Assignment: Instrument Class and Characteristics Guillermo Morales Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University ENGR 400: Fundamentals of Energy Systems Dr. Esmail Abuhdima January 13, 2024
INSTRUMENT CLASS AND CHARACTERISTICS 1 2.17 A pressure gauge with a measurement range of 0-30bar has a quoted inaccuracy of ± 0.5% of the full-scale reading. (a) What is the maximum measurement error expected for this instrument? ± 0.5% ¿ (b) What is the likely measurement error expressed as a percentage of the output reading if this pressure gauge is measuring a pressure of 5bar? ± 0.15 5 ( 100 ) = 3% (c) If the measurement error when reading a pressure of 5bar is deemed to be too high, what are the two main options for reducing the measurement error? Which of these two options would you recommend, and why would you recommend it? The two main options for reducing the measurement error are by increasing the range of the instrument and by taking the measurement over a large number of observations, which would increase the precision of the instrument. I would recommend the high precision because increasing the range of the instrument would be most beneficial. 2.30 A sensor was calibrated at a temperature of 20°C and the following input(x) and output(y) data were recorded: Input ( x ) 020406080100 Output ( y ) 0316293124155 It was then recalibrated at a temperature of 40°C and the following input(x) and output(y) data were recorded: Input ( x ) 020406080100 Output ( y ) 0.532.063.595.0126.5158.0 Calculate the zero drift in the sensor caused by the change in temperature from 20°C to 40°C.Also, calculate the measurement sensitivity of the sensor at the two temperatures and the total sensitivity drift. Zero Drift = 0.5 0 = 0.5 Measurement sensitivit y 20 = output scaledeflection value of measured producingdeflection Measurement sensitivit y 20 = 31 0 20 0 = 1.55 At 20 °C the measurement sensitivity is at 1.55.

Total Sensitivity Drift = Measurement sensitivit y 40 Measurement sensitivit y 20 Total Sensitivity Drift = 1.575 1.55 = 0.025 The total sensitivity drift is at 0.025.
