INSTRUMENTATION?
2/8/2016

Instrumentation

is defined as the art


and science of measurement and control of
process variables within a production, or
manufacturing area.
OR
An instrument is a device that measures
and/or regulates physical quantity/process
variables such as flow, temperature, level,
or pressure.
