Why is it necessary to measure current? Reasons, methods, and precautions Overview You can’t see electricity flow with your own eyes. Consequently, specially designed measuring instruments are necessary in order to measure properties such as current. But why is it necessary to measure current in...
Saildrone USVs can sail in areas where few observations have ever been made. SD 1020 is equipped with an ADCP to measure the Antarctic Circumpolar Current during the first autonomous circumnavigation of the Southern Ocean. Scientists require accurate data about ocean currents in order to better unde...
Transforming a 2 wire Current Loop into a Voltage Output Signal How to get a 10 volt signal from a 4-20mA output pressure sensor How do you measure flow rate with a dp cell What is the difference between a pressure transducer and a transmitter Does the type of Engineering Units matter for...
The article focuses on measuring flow in small drains, which is a task that is called for by local councils and companies that need to report their discharge levels and plot trends. It is said that the method should not interfere with the drain structure or create pressure loss in the pipe...
This paper is meant to be a comprehensive how to guide to help measure voltage, measure current, and measure power with computer based instrumentation.
How Do Flow Probes Measure Velocity? If you’re a hydrologist or water technician, you probably remember one of your earliest lessons involved a field trip out to a local canal or stream to learn how to measure water velocity with a tape measure, float, and timer. Trudging out to the mi...
Figure 1. This flow meter mounted on a 2-in. pipe is a handy tool to measure end uses. Annual cost of this blowing device being measured $13,300, a good find. A common question when looking at optimization of a compressed air system is; How much air am I wasting? Often, inappropria...
Unintentionally inputting a voltage into the instrument while the resistance range is selected could cause a large current to flow to the instrument, possibly tripping a circuit breaker or causing an arc discharge or other accident. Summary There are various reasons you might need to measure ...
Learn about Flow Efficiency, including how to measure it, and leverage it in dashboards and visualizations with Metabase.What is Flow Efficiency? Flow efficiency deals with how well time is being utilized when working on a project. Sometimes when working on a big project, gaps can occur ...
In this hands-on introduction to electronics, you will experiment with a multimeter and learn how to measure current using the ammeter function. Project Overview In this project, you will learn how to use an ammeter to measure electrical current (the flow of electricity). Typically, the ammeter...
