Course

Calibration exercises on general purpose test (GPT) equipments such as Oscilloscope, signal generator, and pressure gauges.

Measurement experiments: Displacement using LVDT, velocity using Pitot tube and anemometer, force using Proving ring and load cell, torque using strain gauges, speed using stroboscope and magnetic pickup, and temperature using thermocouple.

Mini Projects: Interdisciplinary in content based on application of course work completed by the student

Objectives

• To understand and learn the experimental principles and procedure associated with mechanical measurements such as strain, torque, rpm, temperature, impact force, load, etc.,

Course Outcomes

• CO1: Perform experiments to find out different types of errors and uncertainty in measurements.
• CO2: Understand the principle of operation of various measuring instruments used for determining the pressure, force, frequency, linear variation.
• CO3: Measure the performance of the instruments with clear understanding of accuracy, repeatability, and resolution
• CO4: Calibrate the instrumentation required for the measurement of pressure, frequency, force, linear variation.
