Exam 1: Understanding Sensors and Transducers: Parameters, Calibration, and Performance

Thermocouple is an example of _ _ _ _ _ _ sensor

What is the term used to express the ability of a measuring system to maintain its standard performance?

A system will be error free if we remove all systematic error'.

Strain gauge is an example of _ _ _ _ _ sensors

_ _ _ _ _ _ is the departure of a given reading from the arithmetic mean of a group of readings.

_ _ _ _ __ _, describing the sensor's life expectancy

'Zero error is an indication of instrumental error'.

Why do we need to calibrate sensors?

Sensors Output signal types

Which of the following error is caused by a reversal of measured property?

Based upon what parameters sensors will be chosen_ _ _ _ _

Average value of the readings is _ _ _ _ _

Sensors that use an additional energy source for their operation are called _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _can be defined as the variation in the constant of proportionality between the input physical quantity and the output electrical signal

Sensor is a type of transducer.

How systematic errors are eliminated?

_ _ _ _ _ _can be defined as the tolerance within which a measurement can be repeated

_ _ _ _ _ _ is also used to indicate the most probable value of the measured quantity when a set of readings are taken.

Which of the following error is caused by poor calibration of the instrument?

Unpredictable error _ _ _ _ __
