Instrumentation and Control: Measurement of Level and Flow

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Define the following terms: “level,” “continuous level measurement,” and “single-point level detection.”
• Describe basic operation of the following level measurement devices: plumb bob, gauge glass, float and tape, and conductivity probes.
• Describe the basic operation of these level measurement devices: pressure gauge, bubbler system, and differential pressure (D/P) cell.
• Define the following terms: “fluid flow,” “flow rate,” and “total flow.”
• List basic units of measurement for flow rate.
• Describe common examples of direct flow measurement.
• Describe common examples of indirect flow measurement.
