1 INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL TUTORIAL 2 SENSORS AND PRIMARY TRANSDUCERS This TUTORIAL provides an overview of instrument sensors used in process and automatic CONTROL . It is useful to anyone studying measurement systems and INSTRUMENTATION but it is provided mainly in support of the EC module D227 CONTROL System Engineering. This TUTORIAL is mainly descriptive. CONTROL is a broad concept and the following might apply to an automated system such as a robot or to a process CONTROL system such as a pneumatic valve controlling the flow of steam in a pipe. On completion of this TUTORIAL , you should be able to do the following. Explain a basic measurement system. Explain the basic working principles of a variety of temperature sensors. Explain the basic working principles of a variety of pressure sensors. Explain the basic working principles of a variety of speed transducers.
