AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE: To provide the basic knowledge about
theory of measurement and principles for measurement of electrical, non-electrical and
magnetic quantities. Besides classical instrumentation methods the attention to the latest
measurement technique and devices is paid. The aim is to concentrate the students’ attention
on the most important techniques to be practiced in the near future.
DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE: The main topics concern: Measurements, Units,
Standards and Errors; Electromechanical instruments, Instrument transformers and
Potentiometers; Bridge Circuits – DC and AC bridges; Electronic Measuring Instruments -
analogue and digital; Measurement of electrical voltage, current and power; Magnetic
measurements - magnetic flux, magnetizing force, iron loss measurements; Sensors - strain
gauges, inductive, capacitive, temperature, piezoelectric, optical, fiber-optic. Intelligent
sensors; Displacement and motion measurements-industrial range of length measurement;
Strain, Stress and Force measurement; Pressure measurement; Flow measurement -
differential pressure, variable area, electromagnetic, ultrasonic and other types of flow-meters;
Level measurement - capacitance, radiation and pressure technique; Temperature
measurements.
