#8 TRANSDUCERS
INTRODUCTION OF TRANSDUCERS A transducer is a device that convert one form of energy to other form. It converts the measurand to a usable electrical signal. In other word it is a device that is capable of converting the physical quantity into a proportional electrical quantity such as voltage or current. BLOCK DIAGRAM OF TRANSDUCERS • Transducer contains two parts that are closely related to each other i.e. the sensing element and transduction element. • The sensing element is called as the sensor. It is device producing measurable response to change in physical conditions. • The transduction element convert the sensor output to suitable electrical form. CHARACTERISTICS OF TRANSDUCERS 1. Ruggedness 2. Linearity 3. Repeatability 4. Accuracy 5. High stabilityand reliability 6. Speed of response 7. Sensitivity 8. Small size TRANSDUCERS SELECTION FACT...
