“Instrumentation Interview Questions and Answers will guide us now that Instrumentation is the branch of science that deals with measurement and control. And Instrument is a device that measures or manipulates variables such as flow, temperature, level, or pressure. Instruments include many varied contrivances which can be as simple as valves and transmitters, and as complex as analyzers.

59 Instrumentation Questions And Answers

41⟩ What is the working of Rota meter?

Variable area meters are special form of head meters. Where in the area of flow restrictor is varied. So as to hold the differential pressure constant. The rota meter consists of a vertical tapered tube through which the metered fluid flows in upward direction. As the flow varies the ‘float’ rises or falls to vary the area of the passages that the differential across it balances the gravitational force on the ‘float’. The differential pressure is maintained constant. The position of the ‘float’ is the measure of the rate of flow.

42⟩ How to choose differential range?

The most common range for differential range for liquid measurement is 0-100. This range is high enough to minimize the errors caused by unequal heads in the seal chambers. It is also dependent on the differences in the temperature of the load lines. The 100 range permits an increased in capacity up to 400. While decrease down up to 20 by merely changing the range tubes or range adjustments.

43⟩ Tell me the mechanism behind the turbine meter?

Turbine meters consist of straight flow tube within which a turbine or fan is free to rotate about it s axis which is fixed along g the centre line of the tube. Mostly, a magnetic pick up system senses the rotation of the rotor through the tube walls. The turbine meter is a flow rate device

, since the rotor speed is directly proportional to the flow rate. The output is usually in the form of electric pulses from the magnetic pick up with a frequency proportional to the flow rate.

44⟩ Explain What is the working principle of the magnetic meter?

An electric potential is developed when a conductor is moved across the magnetic field. In most electrical machinery the conductor is a wire. The principle is equally applicable to a moving, electrically conductive liquid. The primary device of commercial magnetic meters consist of straight cylindrical electrically insulated tube with a pair of electrodes nearly flush with the tube walls and located at opposite end of a tube diameter. This device is limited to electrically conducting liquids. The magnetic meter is particularly suited to measurement of slurries and dirty fluids.

46⟩ How to use -24vdc in turbine vibration measurement?

You are probably referring to a proximity probe, and specifically a probe manufacturered by Bently Nevada (now GE Power). Actually the negative DC voltage is bias power that the sensor requires in order to return a voltage (also negative) corresponding to the actual gap between the sensor tip and the target. The gap between the sensor and target must be set prior to using the probe at a distance relative to the probe sensitivity, this gap varies depending on what type of probe is being used. The output DC voltage from the signal conditioner used by the probe can be checked to set the gap. At the far end of the sensitivity range, the output voltage may be close to -24 VDC. As this gap decreases the voltage becomes more positive and at a nearly closed gap it is almost 0 VDC.

There is no good reason for this supply voltage or output voltage to be negative, as other types of proximity probes use positive bias voltage. I suspect that the Bently company used a minus bias voltage for product protection. They have been selling their hardware for 50 years, so it\'s impossible to switch now.

51⟩ What is the function of vortex flow meter and working principle?

principle - karmans

working: biuff body is placed in pipeline. There is no flow pressure sensor getting zero. When flow in the pipe line bluff body beyond generate votices if floe is increase vortices are increased these vortices are sensed by pressure sensors and fed to transmitter generate output.

52⟩ What is the modbus?

MODBUS is a commonly used industrial communications protocol. It allows the exchange of data between PLCs and computers. It was originally designed for Modicon (Schneider Electric) PLCs but has become widely used by many PLC manufacturers and industrial networks.

59⟩ What is commissioning and pre-commissioning in instrumentation?

Pre-commissioning and commissioning activities before a plant or facilities handed over for normal operation it should be inspected checked clean flushed verified and tested, in short pre-commissioning is the testing of non energized system and commissioning is the testing of energized system
