Instrumentation Engineering Questions And Answers

1⟩ What happen if i install my pressure transmitter below the elevation of pipe in natural gas service?

Pressure will be added up a bit more, see its detail:

1. Suppose,you want to install a pressure transmitter 10

meter below of pipe line.

2. Density of methane (Examlpe) 0.656 kg/m3 at 25C.

3. your pressure transmitter will show (10 x 1000 x0.656 =

6560mm) 6569 mm of water pressure more.

4. Suppose gas pressure is 20Kg/cm2, then due to this

elevation, transmitter will show 20.66Kg/cm2

3⟩ What are the automatic controller MODES?

Following are the mode of control. Ratio Control, PID

Control, PI Control, ON/OFF Control, Cascade Control,

Override Control, Feedback Control, Feed Froward Control.

These control are can be set in to MAN and AUTO Mode, If

this in MANUAL the mode of control is disable, If this is in

AUTO the mode of control is enable.

5⟩ What is coriolis principle for mass flowmeter?

This meter uses the Coriolis effect to measure the amount of mass moving through the element. The substance to be measured runs through a U-shaped tube that is caused to vibrate in a perpendicular direction to the flow. Fluid forces running through the tube interact with the vibration, causing it to twist. The greater the angle of the twist, the greater the flow

6⟩ How to use level tranasmitter in closed tank application?

In closed systems, the transmitter location is

restricted by the maximum allowable distance

above the lower tap. In pressurized systems, this is

the same as the 1 atmosphere equivalent seen

previously. In sub-atmospheric systems (vacuum

systems), the transmitter should be mounted at or

below the lower tap. This ensures the transmitter

always sees a positive pressure on both the

measurement and the reference sides.

In two seal systems, the distance between the taps

becomes the reference offset from zero. The

calculations are the same regardless of where the

transmitter is mounted.

8⟩ What is Difference between PLC and CNC?

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) is a particular application

usually to control a multi axis machine tool such as a

milling machine or a lathe but also could be a tube bending

machine punch press or similar. The CNC controller is

usually a purpose built controller using a micro computer

but could be a general purpose computer or a PLC. The

forerunner was NC (Numerical Control) before computers were

readily available, it used solid state logic and relays,

timers etc to provide the application.

A PLC (Programable Logic Controller) is a general purpose

logic controller specifically designed to allow the user to

create their own application. They select appropriate I/O

(Inputs Outputs) and perhaps function modules for purposes

such as communications and multi axis servo control and

program the PLC to perform the required functions.

9⟩ Explain types of valves?

various types of valves are used in industrial process

controls.Various types of valves are ball valve,gate

valve,globe valve,needle valve,mixing valve,diverting

valve,butterfly valve etc.Actually this is just an overview

of the types.To be elaborate we have several categories and

types.

11⟩ How to trim the pressure transmitter?

Ensure that you have the necessary document on your hand

such as PTW.

Connect a HART Communicator, then close the Tx isolation valve

and open the VENT isolation to atmosphere.

Apply LRV and check w/ HART Comm, if the LRV is out, perform

TRIM function using HART 375/475

13⟩ Explain working principle of lvdt?

When an AC excitation signal is applied to the Primary Coil

(P), voltages are induced in the two Secondary Coils (S).

The MAGNETIC CORE inside the COIL WINDING ASSEMBLY provides

the magnetic flux path linking the Primary and secondary

Coils.Since the two voltages are of opposite polarity, the

Secondary Coils are connected series opposing in the

center, or Null Position. The output voltages are equal

and opposite in polarity and, therefore, the output voltage

is zero. The Null Position of an LVDT is extremely stable

and repeatable.

When the MAGNETIC CORE is displaced rom the Null

Position, an electromagnetic imbalance occurs. This

imbalance generates a differential AC output voltage

across the Secondary Coils which is linearly proportional

to the direction and magnitude of the displacement.

As shown in the figure, when the MAGNETIC CORE is moved

from the Null

Position, the induced voltage in the Secondary Coil, toward

which the Core is

moved, increases while the induced voltage in the opposite

Secondary Coil

decreases.

LVDTs possess the inherent ruggedness and durability of a

transformer and

truly provide infinite resolution in all types of

environments. As a result of the

superior reliability and accuracy of LVDTs, they are the

ideal choice for linear

motion control.

14⟩ What are the key components of control loop?

A closed control loop in a very basic manner consists of

sensor, transmitter, controller,signal converters and final

control elements.Actually in a practical loop there will be

many other instruments apart from this to support the

working of above mentioned instruments.

15⟩ Square root calculation for dp flow transmitter?

So, the way you would go about doing square root extraction is by using an analog multipler. An analog multiplier has three inputs Vx, Vy & Vz. The output is given by Vo = (Vx*Vy)/Vz; If we set Vy = 1V and Vo = Vz through a feedback loop, we get Vo.^2 = Vx => Vo = sqrt(Vx).

If the interviewer further asks about an analog multiplier, you could mention that it can be designed by a combination of logarithmic/anti-logarithmic amplifier and an adder.

16⟩ What is the meaning of wet leg & where is it used?

A process used to determine the differential pressure

present within a liquid-filled space.

The formula for determining the differential pressure

within a wet leg design is: d/p = h (SG)

Where: d/p = differential pressure, h = height of liquid

present, and SG = specific gravity

When the process vapors condense at normal ambient

temperatures or are corrosive, this reference leg can be

filled to form a wet leg. If the process condensate is

corrosive, unstable, or undesirable to use to fill the wet

leg, this reference leg can be filled with an inert liquid.
