Answer / ravi prakash
Before knowing the concepts, one should know, what
instrumentation is.
In simple sense, instrumentation is art rather than a
science of taking measurements.
Now you can think of all the posible ways to measure a
physical parameter.
take example of measuring flow rate of any fluid.
the flow of fluid is proportional to the diffrential
pressure created when its flow is restricted, also the flow
is proportional to the amount of heat it can remove from a
hot source, or the change in frequency of ultasonic waves
made to pass in a flow, and also flow is proportional to
the voltage generated across electrodes when placed in a
magnetic field.... and the list goes on.
this was a small example to show that any fundamental can
be somehow related to a physical parameter, search for an
appropriate instrument compling in terms of cost, material
and technical specifications regarding the measureand.
The fundamental aim of instrumentation is to measure the
physical parameter and convert it into appropriate user
friendly form like digital readouts or graphical views.
And the book by B.G Liptak is Bible for instrumentation.

Answer / v.ramakrishna
Please buy B.G.Liptek book volume - 1 and volume - 2 which
covers both measurement and control.
AS Instrumentation is a concept of measurement + Control.
How you measure and how you control the parameters is the
concept of instrumentation.
You can get the books from Mumbai, If you have any source
try to get it.

Hello to all....I am an Instrumentation Graduate and i am passed out in this year only.. I am unable to find the job in my core instrumentation.. so any boby tell me how to and where to search the job....please...and also tell me i there are any courses offered in the instrumentation stream so i can do it... you can send your suggestions to my mail-id i.e Ganesh20084u@gmail.com ... please..
How to find out turn down ratio of Pressure transmitter?
how to make a calliberation for deffirential pressure
for what purpose strain guage is used?
Can we use thermocouple in generator of power station replace RTD(pt 100)? if we don't have any place for use RTD.
what is the deluge ? How can its working?
A pressure differential gauge type of instrument has a manifold with 2 isolation valves (hp and lp),2 vents(1 each for hp and lp) and 1 equalizing valve. Determine the position of each valve(either fully closed or fully open) when troboulshooting to: 1. zero the transmitter. 2. determine if there is a block in the impulse line. 3. determine if the gauge is functioning properly. The process fluid is water.
What is the working principle of Dozing valve used in cement industry?

What are difference between automatic and manual control system?
In Increasing temperature why thermocouple used and RTD is not used. Both RTD and Thermocouple have in Range of uses.
