Interview Questions on Instrumentation

Explain Bernoulli’s theorem. State its application.

Bernoulli’s theorem states that the ‘total energy of a liquid flowing from one point to another remains constant’. It is applicable for non-compressible liquids. For different types of liquid flow Bernoulli’s equation changes.

There is direct proportion between speed of fluid and its dynamic pressure and its kinetic energy. It can be used in various real life situations like measuring pressure on aircraft wing and calibrating the airspeed indicator.

It can also be used to low pressure in the venturi tubes present in carburetor.

Why thermowells are used? What materials are used in thermowells?

In numerous applications, it is neither desirable nor practical to expose a temperature sensor directly to a material. Wells are therefore used to protect against damage corresion, arosion, aborsion and high pressure processes.

A thermowell is also useful in protecting a sensor from physical damage during handling and normal operations.

Materials used in thermo wells: Stainless steel, Inconel, Monel, Alloy Steel, Hastelloy

What is the use of single seated valve?

The single seated valve is used on smaller sizes where an absolute shut off is required. The use of single seated valve is limited by pressure drop across the valve in the closed or almost closed position.

What is the use of double seated valve?

In double seated valves the upward and downward forces on the plug due to reduction of fluid pressure are nearly equalized. It is generally used on bigger size valves and high pressure systems. Actuator forces required are less.

What is the use of valve positioner?

Valve positioner can be used for following reasons:

a. Quick action
b. Valve hysterisis
c. Viscous liquids
d. Split range.
e. Line pressure changes on valve
f. Bench set not standard
g. Reverse valve operations

What are primary elements of measuring pressure? Which type of pressure can be measured by these elements?

Primary elements of measuring pressure are:

a. Bourdon Tube
b. Diaphragm
c. Capsule
d. Bellows
e. Pressure springs

These elements are known as elastic deformation pressure elements.

Name different types of bourdon tubes.

Types of bourdon tubes :

1. C type
2. Spiral
3. Helix

What are different types of control valves?

The commonly used control valves can be defined as follows:

a. Depending on Action:

Depending on action there are two types of control valves

  1. Air to close
  2. Air to close

b. Depending on body:

Depending on body there are 4 types of control valves

  1. Globe valves single or double seated
  2. Angle valves
  3. Butterfly valves
  4. Three way valves

How D.P. transmitter can be applied to close tank?

In closed tank, bottom of the tank is connected to the high pressure side of the transmitter.

Top of tank is connected to the lower pressure side of the transmitter.

In this way vessel pressure can be measured.

How D.P. transmitter can be applied to open tank?

In open tank the lower pressure side is vented to the atmosphere.

All pressure is applied to the high pressure side.

This vessel pressure is measured through high pressure side.

Explain the working of an electronic level troll?

The variation in level of buoyancy resulting from a change in liquid level varies the net weight of the displacer increasing or decreasing the load on the torque arm.

This change is directly proportional to change in level and specific gravity of the liquid. The resulting torque tube movement varies the angular motion of the rotor in RVDT providing a rotor change proportional to the rotor displacement, which is converted and amplified to a D.C. current.

Explain the working of an enraf level gauge.

Enraf level gauge is based on the servo powered null balance technique.

A displacer serves as continuous level sensing element. A two phase motor controlled by a capacitive balance system winds unwinds the the measuring wire until the tension in the weight springs is in balance with the weight of the displaced part immersed in the liquid.

The sensing system in balance measures the two capacitance formed by the moving central sensing rod provided by the two capacitor plates and the si plates.

What is the constant voltage unit?

The constant voltage circuit consists of a rectifier, CR and a filter capacitor. It is followed by two stages of zener regulation. A bridge configuration is provided to lamp line voltage zener regulation.
