INTRODUCTION
Measurement involves using an instrument as a physicalmeans of determining a quantity or variable.
A measuring device: a device used for obtaining a valuewhich nearly represents an unknown variable or quantity.
The advancement of science and technology leads to the
progress in the measuring techniques.

Classification of Measuring Instruments:
1- Mechanical Instruments:
These are the first type of measuring instruments.
Since they have moving parts then they are useful for stableoperation but due the inertia of the moving elements are
slow then they are not suitable for measuring dynamic
variables and transient operations.

2- Electrical Instruments:
Since 1801. By discovering electricity, the electrical
measuring instruments appear.
Electrical instruments have in general electric circuit
consisting of some resistors and a magnetic circuit consisting
of either a permanent or a coil with an iron core.
It depends upon the interaction between the electric circuit
and the magnetic circuit.

Then the electronic measuring instruments appear which
depends upon electronic components such as diodes and
transistors.
They are fast and can be used in transient measurements.

Methods of Measurements:
1- Direct Method:
The unknown quantity is directly compared against a
standard. Which are common for measurements of physical
quantities like length, mass and time.
Disadvantages are:
i- limited accuracy due to human factors.
Ii- Less accuracy

1- Indirect Method: The unknown quantity under measurement is determined
via the use of measurement systems as follows:
Advantages are:

Basic definitions:
1- True Value: AtIt is the actual value of a variable to be measured
2- Measured Value: Am
It is the value measured by a specified instrument
3- Static (Absolute) Error:(
A)
It is the difference between measured value (Am ) and true
value ( At ). It is the deviation of the measured value from the true value.
Dr. Sahar Abd El Moneim Moussa 9
A= Am-At

It is the correction to be added to the measured
value to give the true value

5- Relative Error:(
r)
The Static Error is expressed as a fraction of the full scale
deflection or the true value
Dr. Sahar Abd El Moneim Moussa 11
r (as a fraction of true vale) =( Am - At ) / At
r (as a fraction of true vale) =( Am - At ) / f.s.d
r %(as a fraction of true vale) = (A / At) x 100%
r %(as a fraction of true vale) = (A / f.s.d) x 100%

127.43 V, determine the:

6- Limiting Error:
It is the specification given to an instrument which
guarantees that a full scale deflection will be within a certain
percentage of a full-scale reading. However, the readings thatare less than full scale has a larger limiting error.
Therefore it is the limit of the deviation from the specified
value specified by manufacturer

Example 3:
A 300 V voltmeter is specified to be accurate within 2% at
full scale. Calculate the limiting error when the instrument isused to measure a 120 V source and 60 V. Comment.
Solution:
The limiting error at full scale is 2%
The magnitude of the limiting error at full scale is
= 300 x ( 2/100 ) = 6 V
The limiting error at 120 V = 6/120 x 100 = 5%
The limiting error at 60 V = 6/60 x 100 = 10%
The results of the previous example give us an important
conclusion, which is:
Dr. Sahar Abd El Moneim Moussa 15
Measurements of low values has higher limiting errors, so readings
should be made near full scale to decrease error.

Example 7:
A moving coil voltmeter has a uniform scale with 100 divisions,
the full-scale reading is 200 V and 1/10 of a scale division canbe estimated with a fair degree of certainty. Determine the
resolution of the instrument.
Solution:
1 scale division = 200/100 = 2 V
Resolution = 1/10 of the scale division = (1/10) x 2 = 0.2 V

Errors in Measurements:
Errors may come from different sources and are usually
classified under the following headings:
1- Gross Errors:
These type of errors are mainly due to human mistakes such
as misreading of instruments, incorrect adjustment and
improper application of instruments.
Gross errors can be reduced by reading and recordingmeasurements with great care and by taking more than one
measurement to be sure that the required reading is
accurate as possible.

2- Systematic Errors:
These type of errors are either due to shortcoming of the
instrument or environmental errors due to external
conditions affecting the measurement such as temperature,humidity, pressure, loading effects, insertion effects and
magnetic or electrostatic fields.

These errors are due to unknown reasons.
The effect of random errors is minimized by measuring thegiven quantity many times under the same conditions and
calculating the arithmetic mean of the obtained values
