    Measurement Measurement is the process of assigning numbers to quantities.

    The process is so familiar that perhaps we often overlook itsfundamental characteristics.

    Properties of Quantities Quantities that we can measure have a number of properties.

    For example, a quantity can be discrete or continuous .

    Level Measurement

    How it works

    The time it takes for the instruments signal toleave the antenna, travel to the product, andreturn to the antenna is calculated intodistance.

    The instrument is spanned according to thedistance the 100% and 0% points within thevessel are from its reference point .

    The measured distance can then be convertedinto the end users desired engineering unit

    and viewed on the head of the instrument or remote display.

    Level MeasurementRadar Technology How it works

    Radar is a time of flight measurement.

    Microwave energy is transmitted by theradar.

    The microwave energy is reflected off the

    product surface

    The radar sensor receives the microwaveenergy.

    The time from transmitting to receiving themicrowave energy is measured.

    The time is converted to a distancemeasurement and then eventually a level.

    Pressure Measurement

    Pressure Sensors

    In any given plant, the number of pressure gauges used is probably larger than all other instruments put together

    Most liquid and all gaseous materials in the processindustries are contained within closed vessels. For the safetyof plant personnel and protection of the vessel, pressure inthe vessel is controlled. In addition, pressured is controlled

    because it influences key process operations like vapor-liquidequilibrium, chemical reaction rate, and fluid flow.

    When a strain gage, is used tomeasure the deflection of an elasticdiaphragm or Bourdon tube itbecomes a component in pressuretransducer

    Strain-gage transducers are used fornarrow-span pressure and fordifferential pressure measurements.

    Essentially, the strain gage is used tomeasure the displacement of anelastic diaphragm due to adifference in pressure across thediaphragm

    If the low pressure side is a sealed

    vacuum reference, the transmitterwill act as an absolute pressuretransmitter.

    Strain gage transducers are availablefor pressure ranges as low as 1300MPa

  • 7/30/2019 Hydro Elect Power Plant Instru

    58

    Capacitance pressure transducerswere originally developed for use inlow vacuum research. Thiscapacitance change results from themovement of a diaphragm element

    (The diaphragm is usually metal ormetal-coated quartz and is exposedto the process pressure on one sideand to the reference pressure onthe other. Depending on the type

    Differential pressure transducers ina variety of ranges and outputs of pressure, the capacitive transducercan be either an absolute, gauge, or

    differential pressure transducer. Capacitance pressure transducershave a wide range ability, from highvacuums in the micron range to 70MPa.

    Magnetic pressure transducers

  • 7/30/2019 Hydro Elect Power Plant Instru

    61/148

    61

    These included the use of inductance, reluctance, and eddy currents.Inductance is that property of an electric circuit that expresses the amount of electromotive force (emf) induced by a given rate of change of current flow inthe circuit.

    Reluctance is resistance to magnetic flow, the opposition offered by magneticsubstance to magnetic flux.

    In these sensors, a change in pressure produces a movement, which in turnchanges the inductance or reluctance of an electric circuit.

    Optical pressure transducers

  • 7/30/2019 Hydro Elect Power Plant Instru

    62/148

    62

    Optical pressure transducers detectthe effects of minute motions due tochanges in process pressure and

    generate a corresponding electronicoutput signal. A light emitting diode (LED) is used

    as the light source, and a vaneblocks some of the light as it ismoved by the diaphragm. As theprocess pressure moves the vanebetween the source diode and themeasuring diode, the amount of infrared light received changes.

    Optical pressure transducers do notrequire much maintenance.

    They have excellent stability and aredesigned for long-durationmeasurements.

    They are available with ranges from35 kPa to 413 MPa and with 0.1%full scale accuracy.

    RTD

    Resistivity of metals is a function of temperature. Platinum often used since it can be used for a wide temperature

    range and has excellent stability. Nickel or nickel alloys are used aswell, but they arent as accurate.

    In several common configurations, the platinum wire is exposeddirectly to air (called a bird-cage element), wound around a bobbin

    and then sealed in molten glass, or threaded through a ceramiccylinder. Metal film RTDs are new. To make these, a platinum or metal-glass

    slurry film is deposited onto a ceramic substrate. The substrate isthen etched with a laser. These RTDs are very small but arent asstable (and hence accurate).

    RTDs are more accurate but also larger and more expensive thanthermocouples.

    RTD

    From Nicholas & White, Traceable Temperatures.

    Sheathing: stainless steel or iconel, glass, alumina, quartz

    Metal sheath can cause contamination at high temperatures and arebest below 250C. At very high temperatures, quartz and high-purity alumina are best to

    prevent contamination.

    RTD Resistance Measurement

    Several different bridge circuits are used to determine theresistance. Bridge circuits help improve the accuracy of the measurements significantly. Bridge output voltage is afunction of the RTD resistance.

    RTD Resistance/Temperature Conversion

    Published equations relating bridge voltage to temperature can beused.

    For very accurate results, do your own calibration.

    Several electronic calibrators are available. The most accurate calibration that you can do easily yourself is to

    use a constant temperature bath and NIST-traceablethermometers. You then can make your own calibration curvecorrelating temperature and voltage.

    Potential Problems

  • 7/30/2019 Hydro Elect Power Plant Instru

    70/148

    70

    RTD

    RTDs are more fragile than thermocouples.

    An external current must be supplied to the RTD. This current canheat the RTD, altering the results. For situations with high heattransfer coefficients, this error is small since the heat is dissipated toair. For small diameter thermocouples and still air this error is the

    largest. Use the largest RTD possible and smallest external currentpossible to minimize this error.

    Be careful about the way you set up your measurement device.Attaching it can change the voltage.

    When the platinum is connected to copper connectors, a voltagedifference will occur (as in thermocouples). This voltage must besubtracted off.

    Resistance/Temperature Conversion

    71

    Standard thermistors curves are not provided as much aswith thermocouples or RTDs. You often need a curve for a

    specific batch of thermistors.

    No 4-wire bridge is required as with an RTD.

    DAQ systems can handle the non-linear curve fit easily.

    Thermistors do not do well at high temperatures andshow instability with time (but for the best ones, thisinstability is only a few millikelvin per year)

    Thermistor

    Thermistors also measure the change in resistance with temperature.

    Thermistors are very sensitive (up to 100 times more than RTDs and1000 times more than thermocouples) and can detect very smallchanges in temperature. They are also very fast.

    Due to their speed, they are used for precision temperature controland any time very small temperature differences must be detected.

    They are made of ceramic semiconductor material (metal oxides).

    The change in thermistor resistance with temperature is very non-linear.

    Thermocouples

    Seebeck effect

    If two wires of dissimilar metals are joined at bothends and one end is heated, current will flow.

    If the circuit is broken, there will be an open circuitvoltage across the wires.

    Voltage is a function of temperature and metal types.

    For small DTs, the relationship with temperature islinear

    For larger DTs, non -linearities may occur.

    Measuring the Thermocouple Voltage

  • 7/30/2019 Hydro Elect Power Plant Instru

    80/148

    80

    If you attach the thermocouple directly to a voltmeter, you will haveproblems.

    You have just created another junction! Your displayed voltage will beproportional to the difference between J 1 and J 2 (and hence T 1 andT2). Note: It is a Type T thermocouple.

    External Reference Junction

  • 7/30/2019 Hydro Elect Power Plant Instru

    81/148

    81

    External Reference Junction

    A solution is to put J 2 in an ice-bath; then you know T 2,and your output voltage will be proportional to T 1-T2.

    Other types of thermocouples

  • 7/30/2019 Hydro Elect Power Plant Instru

    82/148

    82

    Many thermocouples dont have one copper wire. Shownbelow is a Type J thermocouple.

    If the two terminals arent at the same temperature, thisalso creates an error.

    Isothermal Block

  • 7/30/2019 Hydro Elect Power Plant Instru

    83/148

    83

    The block is an electrical insulator but good heatconductor. This way the voltages for J 3 and J 4 cancel out.Thermocouple data acquisition set-ups include theseisothermal blocks.

    If we eliminate the ice-bath, then the isothermal blocktemperature is our reference temperature

    Software Compensation

  • 7/30/2019 Hydro Elect Power Plant Instru

    84/148

    84

    How can one find the temperature of the block? Use athermister or RTD.

    Once the temperature is known, the voltage associatedwith that temperature can be subtracted off.Then why use thermocouples at all?

    Thermocouples are cheaper, smaller, more flexible andrugged, and operate over a wider temperature range.

    Most data acquisition systems have softwarecompensation built in. To use industrial automationsoftware, youll need to know if you have a thermister or

    RTD.

    Hardware Compensation

  • 7/30/2019 Hydro Elect Power Plant Instru

    85/148

    85

    With hardware compensation, the temperature of the

    isothermal block again is measured, and then a battery isused to cancel out the voltage of the reference junction.

    This is also called an electronic ice point reference . With

    this reference, you can use a normal voltmeter instead of a thermocouple reader. You need a separate ice-pointreference for every type of thermocouple.

    Potential Problems

  • 7/30/2019 Hydro Elect Power Plant Instru

    86/148

    86

    Poor bead construction Weld changed material characteristics because the weld temp.

    was too high. Large solder bead with temperature gradient across it

    Decalibration If thermocouples are used for very high or cold temperatures,

    wire properties can change due to diffusion of insulation oratmosphere particles into the wire, cold-working, or annealing.

    Inhomogeneities in the wire; these are especially bad in areaswith large temperature gradients; esp. common in iron. Metallicsleeving can help reduce their effect on the final temperaturereading.

    Potential Problems

  • 7/30/2019 Hydro Elect Power Plant Instru

    87/148

    87

    Shunt impedance As temperature goes up, the resistance of many insulation types

    goes down. At high enough temperatures, this creates a virtual junction. This is especially problematic for small diameter wires.

    Galvanic Action The dyes in some insulations form an electrolyte in the water.

    This creates a galvanic action with a resulting emf potentiallymany times that of the thermocouple. Use an appropriate shieldfor a wet environment. T Type thermocouples have less of aproblem with this.

    89

    Conduction along the thermocouple wire In areas of large temperature gradient, heat can be conducted

    along the thermocouple wire, changing the bead temperature. Small diameter wires conduct less of this heat. T-type thermocouples have more of a problem with this than

    most other types since one of the leads is made of copper whichhas a high thermal conductivity.

    90/148

    90

    Infrared thermometers measure the amount of radiation emitted by

    an object.

    Peak magnitude is often in the infrared region.

    Surface emissivity must be known. This can add a lot of error.

    Reflection from other objects can introduce error as well.

    Surface whose temp youre measuring must fill the field of view of

    your camera.

    Crayons You can buy crayons with specified melting temperatures.Mark the surface, and when the mark melts, you know the

    temperature at that time.

    Lacquers Special lacquers are available that change from dull toglossy and transparent at a specified temperature. This is a type of phase change.

    Pellets These change phase like crayons and lacquers but are larger.If the heating time is long, oxidation may obscure crayon marks.Pellets are also used as thermal fuses; they can be placed so thatwhen they melt, they release a circuit breaker.

    Temperature sensitive labels These are nice because you can peelthem off when finished and place them in a log book.

    Temperature Controllers

  • 7/30/2019 Hydro Elect Power Plant Instru

    94/148

    94

    Consider the following when choosing a controller Type of temperature sensor (thermocouples and RTDs are common)

    Number and type of outputs required (for example, turn on a heater,turn off a cooling system, sound an alarm)

    Type of control algarithm (on/off, proportional, PID)

    On/off controllers These are the simplest controllers. On above a certain setpoint, and off below a certain setpoint On/off differential used to prevent continuous cycling on and off. This type of controller cant be used for precise temperature control.

    Often used for systems with a large thermal mass (wheretemperatures take a long time to change) and for alarms.
