Study Notes
Measurement Devices Overview
- Float: Measures liquid level with a hollow ball rising to the surface. Operates in two positions.
- Sight Glass: Measures liquid level and provides a visual window into the process within a glass tube.
- D/P Cell: Measures level by assessing differential pressure, with a smaller bottom than the transmitter version.
Flow Measurement Devices
- Displacer: Measures levels through buoyancy, displacing an arm as liquid levels rise, providing differential pressure readings.
- Orifice: Measures flow with bevel faces oriented downstream, creating pressure changes as volume increases.
- Venturi: Offers precise measurements in low flow scenarios, smoothes displacement for minimal pressure loss.
Temperature Measurement Instruments
- Rotameter: Ideal for measuring small flow using gravity, commonly found in seal pumps and analyzers.
- Thermometer: Most common is the J type, measuring temperature which can also be output via thermo-well.
- Thermocouple & RTD: Both produce millivolt output signals; RTD measures temperature in ohms, while thermo-well provides protective casing.
Specialized Temperature and Pressure Devices
- Pyrometer: A portable handheld thermometer that detects surface temperatures, limited to a 100-foot range.
- Infrared: Measures temperatures above absolute zero, suitable for non-contact assessments.
- Pressure Gauge: Provides local analog pressure measurements utilizing bourdon tape, bellows, or diaphragm mechanisms.
Transmitters for Process Control
- Pressure Transmitter: A pneumatic electronic device regulating pressure in float and level systems.
- Delta P Transmitter: Commonly used in various float and level applications to monitor fluid levels effectively.
- Manometer: An older pressure measurement device seen in furnaces and blowers, operating with slight negative pressure readings on specific sides.
