2. WHAT IS AN INSTRUMENT?

3. WHAT IS AN INSTRUMENT?
Instrumentation is
defined as the art and
science of
measurement and
control of process
variables within a
production, or
manufacturing area.

4. INSTRUMENTATION
 A world without Instruments is like going back to the Stone age.
Today we find Instruments at Home & work place, and this was possible
only because of the science instrumentation.
 “It is a multi-disciplinary stream and covers subjects from various
branches such as chemical, mechanical, electrical, electronics and
computers”
 Instrumentation engineering is a specialized branch of electrical
and electronic engineering and it deals with measurement, control and
automation of processes.

5. SCOPES OF INSTRUMENTATION
Almost all process and manufacturing industry
such as STEEL, OIL, PETROCHEMICAL,
POWER and DEFENCE PRODUCTION will
have a separate instrumentation department,
which is manned and managed by
instrumentation engineers.

6. SCOPES OF INSTRUMENTATION
 All Manufacturing industry such as steel, oil, petrochemical, power and
Defence production with instrumentation department is manned and
managed by instrumentation engineers.
 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
The demand is so high that every student finds at least two jobs waiting
in the wings, by the time he or she completes the course

7. SIMPLE EXAMPLES OF
INSTRUMENTATION
A very simple example of an instrumentation system is a Mechanical
thermostat – Eg: Refrigerator, Toaster, Microwave Oven
 Another example of an instrumentation system is a Home security
system.
 Modern automobiles have complex instrumentation
 "Steam gages" converted air pressures into needle deflections that could
be interpreted as altitude and airspeed. A magnetic compass provided a
sense of direction.
