MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS
The progress of measurement systems in industry took place largely in the 1930s. With the growth of continuous manufacturing, the need for continuous measurement of various process variables like temperature, pressure, vibration, force, torque, strain, etc., became a need of the time. Thus, measurement science is the foundation of efficient industrial processing and manufacturing. The measurement of a given quantity is essentially an act or the result of comparison between the quantity and a predefined standard. In this modern world, there are widespread applications of measurement systems in various fields, viz., automobiles, residential appliances, war weapons, satellites, etc. Thus, technology of using instruments to measure and control the physical and chemical properties of materials is called instrumentation.
