INSTRUMENTATION ENGINEERING

Instrumentation is defined as the art and science of measurement and control of process variables within a production, or manufacturing area.

� Today we find Instruments everywhere at home & atwork place, and this was possible only because of thescience of instrumentation.

� It is a multi-disciplinary stream that covers subjectsfrom various branches such as chemical, mechanical,electrical, electronics and computers

� Instrumentation engineering is a specialized branch ofelectrical and electronic engineering and it deals withmeasurement, control and automation of processes.

Examples of Instrumentation

Microwave Oven Radar

Avionics Burglar Alarm system

Refrigerator


1818

� Mechanical thermostat – Eg: Refrigerator, Toaster, Microwave Oven

� Home security system.

� Modern automobiles have complex instrumentation

� Steam gages read air pressures could be interpreted as altitude and airspeed.

� A magnetic compass provides a sense of direction.

Examples of Instrumentation

� Process and manufacturing industry such as steel, oil, petrochemical, power and defence production

� Automation is the core job of instrumentation engineers. Hence, the demand for instrumentation will always be there.

� Growth in the avionics, aeronautical and space science sectors has also increased the scope for instrumentation engineers.

� Instrumentation engineers can also fit in both software and hardware sectors
