1 Part 2 Sensor and Transducer Instrument Selection Criteria (3 Hour)

2 At the end of this chapter, you should be able to: Describe the definition of sensor and transducer Determine the specification of control system with instrumentation design Determine the control system with instrumentation selection criteria

3 Sensors and transducers are classified according to; the physical property that they use (piezoelectric, photovoltaic, etc.) the function that they perform (measurement of length, temperature, etc.). Since energy conversion is an essential characteristic of the sensing process, the various forms of energy should be considered. 3

4 There are 3 basic types of transducers namely self-generating, modulating, and modifying transducers. The self-generating type (thermocouples, piezoelectric, photovoltaic) does not require the application of external energy. 4

5 Modulating transducers (photoconductive cells, thermistors, resistive displacement devices) do require a source of energy. For example, a thermocouple is selfgenerating, producing a change in resistance in response to a temperature difference, whereas a photoconductive cell is modulating because it requires energy. The modifying transducer (elastic beams, diaphragms) is characterized by the same form of energy at the input and output. The energy form on both sides of a modifier is electrical. 5

6 The words 'sensor' and 'transducer' are both widely used in the description of measurement systems. The former is popular in the USA whereas the latter has been used in Europe for many years. The word 'sensor' is derived from entire meaning 'to perceive' and 'transducer' is from transducer meaning 'to lead across'. 6

7 A dictionary definition of 'sensor' is `a device that detects a change in a physical stimulus and turns it into a signal which can be measured or recorded; The corresponding definition of 'transducer' is 'a device that transfers energy from one system to another in the same or in the different form'. 7

8 The desirable features of sensors are: 1. accuracy - closeness to "true" value of variable; accuracy = actual value - sensed value; 2. precision - little or no random variability in measured variable 3. operating range - wide operating range; accurate and precise over entire sensing range 4. calibration - easy to calibrate; no "drift" - tendency for sensor to lose accuracy over time. 5. reliability - no failures 6. cost and ease of operation - purchase price, cost of installation and operation 8

9 CHOOSING A TRANSDUCER The following factors should be examined when choosing a sensor for a particular application: Operating range The transducers should maintain range requirements and good resolution Sensitivity The transducers must be sensitive enough to allow sufficient output Frequency response & resonant frequency Is the transducer flat over the needed range? Will the resonant frequency be excited? Environmental compatibility Do the temperature range of the transducer, its corrosive fluids, the pressures, shocks, and interactions it is subject to, its size and mounting restrictions make it inapplicable? 9

10 CHOOSING A TRANSDUCER Minimum sensitivity The transducer must be minimally sensitive to expected stimuli other than the measurand. Accuracy The transducer may be subject to repeatability and calibration errors as well as errors expected owing to sensitivity to other stimuli. Usage & ruggedness The ruggedness both of mechanical and electrical intensities of the transducer versus its size and weight must be considered. Who will be installing and using the transducer? Electrical What length and type of cable is required? What are the signal-tonoise rations when combined with amplifiers and frequencyresponse limitations? 10

11 A list of physical properties, and sensors to measure them is given below: 11

12 12

13 Listed below are some examples of common transducers and sensors that we may encounter: Ammeter - meter to indicate electrical current. Potentiometer - instrument used to measure voltage. Strain Gauge - used to indicate torque, force, pressure, and other variables. Output is changed in resistance due to strain, which can be converted into voltage. Thermistor - Also called a resistance thermometer; an instrument used to measure temperature. The operation is based on change in resistance as a function of temperature. 13

14 There are several transducers that will be examined further in terms of their principles of operations. Those include : 1. Resistive Position Transducers 2. Strain Gauges 3. Capacitive Transducers 4. Inductive Transducers 5. And a lot more 14

15 The principle of the resistive position transducer is that the measured quantity causes a resistance change in the sensing element. A common requirement in industrial measurement and control work is to be able to sense the position of an object, or the distance it has moved. One type of displacement transducer uses a resistance element with a sliding contact linked to the object being monitored. Thus the resistance between the slider and one end of the resistance element depends on the position of the object. 15

16 The output voltage depends on the wiper position and therefore is a function of the shaft position. In figure below, the output voltage E out is a fraction of E T, depending on the position of the wiper. The element is considered perfectly linear if the resistance of the transducer is distributed uniformly along the length of travel of wiper. E E out T R 1 R 2 R 2 16

17 Example 1 An RPT with a shaft stroke of 5.5 inches is applied in the circuit as below. The total resistance of the potentiometer is 4.7kΩ. The applied voltage is E T = 3V. When the wiper is 0.9 in. from B, what is E out? 17

18 Strain gauge is a passive transducer that uses electrical resistance variation in wires to sense the strain produced by a force on the wires. Measurement for Weight Pressure Mechanical force Displacement 18

19 STRAIN GAUGE When external forces are applied to a stationary object, stress and strain are the result. Stress is defined as the object's internal resisting forces. For a uniform distribution of internal resisting forces, stress can be calculated by dividing the applied force (F) by the unit area (A): m 2 kg/m 2 Stress tekanan Strain regangan kg 19

20 STRAIN GAUGE Strain A fractional change ( L/L) in the dimensions of an object as a result of mechanical stress (force/area) Calculated by dividing the total deformation of the original length by the original length (L): Unit-less 20

21 Stress & Strain 21

22 STRAIN GAUGE The constant of proportionality between stress and strain for linear stress-strain curve is known as the modulus of elasticity of the material, E, or Young s modulus. E E Young s modulus in kilograms per-square meter The stress in kilograms per square meter The strain (no units) 22

23 STRAIN GAUGE A device whose electrical resistance varies in proportion to the amount of strain in the device. The most widely used gauge is the bonded metallic strain gauge. Designed to convert mechanical motion into an electronic signal. If a wire is held under tension, it gets slightly longer and its crosssectional area is reduced. Resistance is related to length (l) and area of cross-section of the resistor (A) and resistivity (ρ) of the material as 23

24 STRAIN GAUGE This changes its resistance (R) in proportion to the strain sensitivity of the wire's resistance. When a strain is introduced, the strain sensitivity, which is also called the gauge factor (GF), is given by: GF is a measure of sensitivity GF R R L L = gauge factor L L = the initial resistance in ohms (without strain) = the change in initial resistance in ohms GF = the initial length in meters (without strain) = the change in initial length in meters 24 R R

25 STRAIN GAUGE For strain gauge applications, a high degree of sensitivity is very desirable. A high gauge factor means a relatively large resistance change for a given strain. Such a change is more easily measured than a small resistance change. 25

26 STRAIN GAUGE 26

27 STRAIN GAUGE Common types of resistance strain gages (a) (b) (c) Three types of resistance strain gages. (a) Wire gage; (b) foil gage; (c) semiconductor gage 27

28 A resistant strain gauge with a gauge factor of 2 is fastened to a steel member, which is subjected to strain of 1x10-6. If the original resistance value of the gauge is 130Ω, calculate the change in resistance. 28

29 CAPACITIVE TRANSDUCER d width Plate 2 Plate 1 Consist of two parallel plates separated by an air space or by dielectric (insulating material) Length C ka d o k = dielectric constant of the material in the gap ε o = the permittivity of free space = x farad/meter A = Plate area (m 2 ) d = the separation between plate (m) 29

30 CAPACITIVE TRANSDUCER Variation in Capacitance C ka d o Displacement x x=0 ΔA Δk Δd 30

31 CAPACITIVE TRANSDUCER Variation in Capacitance Changing ΔA Δk Δd the surface dielectric area Changing the constant C C C Changing the spacing btwn plate A The affective area of the plates will change proportionally to the value of capacitance Value of C will increased when the dielectric constant increased k Value of C will decreased when the spacing between plate increased d 31

32 Some examples of capacitive transducers 32

33 Example 3: An electrode-diaphragm pressure transducer has plates whose area is 5x10-3 m 2 and distance between plates is 1x10-3. Calculate its capacitance if it measures air pressure with k=1. 33

34 Inductive Transducers may be either the self-generating or the passive type transducers. In the Self-Generating IT, it utilises the basic electrical generator principle that when there is relative motion between conductor and magnetic field, a voltage is induced in the conductor. An example of this is Tachometer that directly converts speeds or velocity into an electrical signal.

35 Examples of a Common Tachometer

36 Passive inductive transducers require an external source of power. The Differential transformer is a passive inductive transformer, well known as Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT). It consists basically of a primary winding and two secondly windings, wound over a hollow tube and positioned so that the primary is between two of its secondaries.

37 Some examples of LVDTs.

38 An example of LVDT electrical wiring.

39 An iron core slides within the tube and therefore affects the magnetic coupling between the primary and two secondaries. When the core is in the centre, the voltage induced in the two secondaries is equal. When the core is moved in one direction of centre, the voltage induced in one winding is increased and that in the other is decreased. Movement in the opposite direction reverse this effects.

40 In next figure, the winding is connected series opposing -that is the polarities of V1 and V2 oppose each other as we trace through the circuit from terminal A to B. Consequently, when the core is in the center so that V1=V2, there is no voltage output, V o = 0V.

41 When the core is away from S1, V1 is greater than V2 and the output voltage will have the polarity of V1. When the core is away from S2, V2 is greater than V1 and the output voltage will have the polarity of V2. That is the output of ac voltage inverts as the core passes the center position. The farther the core moves from the centre, the greater the difference in value between V1 and V2, and consequently the greater the value of Vo.

42 Thus, the amplitude of Vo is a function of distance the core has moved. If the core is attached to a moving object, the LVDT output voltage can be a measure of the position of the object. The farther the core moves from the centre, the greater the difference in value between V1 and V2, and consequently the greater the value of Vo.

43 Among the advantages of LVDT are as follows: It produces a higher output voltages for small changes in core position. Low cost Solid and robust -capable of working in a wide variety of environments. No permanent damage to the LVDT if measurements exceed the designed range.

44 Example 3: An ac LVDT has the following data; input 6.3V, output 5.2V, range ± 0.50 cm. Determine: a) Plot of output voltage versus core position for a core movement going from +0.45cm to -0.03cm? b) The output voltage when the core is -0.35cm from the center? c) The core movement from center when the output voltage is -3V? d) The plot of core position versus output voltages varying from +4V to -2.5V.

45 When a mechanical pressure is applied to a crystal of a Rochelle salt, quartz, or tourmaline type, a displacement of the crystals that will produce a potential difference will occur. This property is used in piezoelectric transducers; where a crystal is placed between a solid base and force-summing element, as shown below:

46 When externally force is applied to the plates, a stress will be produced in the upper part of the crystal. This deformation will produce a potential difference at the surface of the crystal. This produces an electromotive force across the crystal proportional to the magnitude of the applied pressure. This effect is called piezoelectric effects. The induced charge on the crystal is proportional to the impressed force and given by: Q = df; where d = piezoelectric constant.

47 The temperature transducers can be divided into four main categories: o o o o Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTD) Thermocouples Thermistors Ultrasonic transducers

48 Detectors of resistance temperatures commonly employ platinum, nickel, or resistance wire elements, whose resistance variation with temperature has a high intrinsic accuracy. They available in many configurations and sizes and as shielded and open units for both immersion and surface applications.

49 Some examples of RTDs are as follows:

50 The relationship between temperature and resistance of conductors can be calculated from this equation: R R ( 1 T o ) where; R= resistance of the conductor at temp t ( o C) R o =resistance at the reference temp. = temperature coefficient of resistance = difference between operating and reference temp.

51 Example: A platinum resistance thermometer has a resistance of 220Ω at 20 o C. Calculate the resistance at 50 o C? Given that 20 o C =

52 A thermocouple is a sensor for measuring temperature. It consists of two dissimilar / different metals, joined together at one end, which produce a small unique voltage at a given temperature. This voltage is measured and interpreted by the thermocouple. The magnitude of this voltage depends on the materials used for the wires and the amount of temperatures difference between the joined end and the other ends.

53 Some examples of the thermocouples are as follows:

54 Common commercially available thermocouples are specified by ISA (Instrument Society of America) types. Type E, J, K, and T are base-metal thermocouples and can be used up to about 1000 C (1832 F). Type S, R, and B are noble-metal thermocouples and can be used up to about 2000 C (3632 F).

55 The following table provides a summary of basic thermocouple properties.

56 Calibration curves for several commercially available thermocouples is as below:

57 The magnitude of thermal emf depends on the wire materials used and on the temperature difference between the junctions. The effective emf of the thermocouple is given as: E c( T T ) k( T T ) Where; c and k constant of the thermocouple materials T 1 - temperature of the hot junction. T 2 - temperature of the cold or reference junction.

58 Example During experiment with a copper- costantan thermocouple, it was found that c= 3.75x10-2 mv/ o C and k = 4.50x10-5 mv/ o C. If T 1 = 100 o C and the cold junction T 2 is kept in the ice, compute the resultant electromotive force, emf?
