Answer / sandy

The accuracy of these two instruments depends on different
things. For the Null type ins it depends on the linearity
and calibration of the spring, while for the second it
relies on the calibration of the weights. As calibration of
weights is much easier than careful choice and calibration
of a linear-characteristic spring, this means that the
second type of instrument will normally be the more
accurate. This is in accordance with the general rule that
null-type instruments are more accurate than deflection
types.

Answer / jasmine

The pressure gauge is a good example of a deflection-type instrument, where the value of the quantity being measured is displayed in terms of the amount of movement of a pointer. An alternative type of pressure gauge is the dead-weight gauge which is a null-type instrument. Here, weights are put on top of the piston until the downward force balances the fluid pressure. Weights are added until the piston reaches a datum level, known as the null point. Pressure measurement is made in terms of the value of the weights needed to reach this null position.

The accuracy of these two instruments depends on different things. For the first one it depends on the linearity and calibration of the spring, whilst for the second it relies on the calibration of the weights. As calibration of weights is much easier than careful choice and calibration of a linear-characteristic spring, this means that the second type of instrument will normally be the more accurate. This is in accordance with the general rule that null-type instruments are more accurate than deflection types.

In terms of usage, the deflection-type instrument is clearly more convenient. It is far simpler to read the position of a pointer against a scale than to add and subtract weights until a null point is reached. A deflection-type instrument is therefore the one that would normally be used in the workplace. However, for calibration duties, the null-type instrument is preferable because of its superior accuracy. The extra effort required to use such an instrument is perfectly acceptable in this case because of the infrequent nature of calibration operations.

I work on a electronic positioner transmitter 4211 at the field.I connect my multimeter in series to get the current output then I calibrate it to 4ma in 0% of position of the valve and 20ma in 100% position of the valve.My problem is in the field I get the correct output current based on my multimeter but in the dcs they only receive 40% in a output 20ma of this positioner.Then I try to simulate in this analog card and they receive the equivalent percent on the value that I simulated.Is ther any possibility to reset the zero and span of this positioner 4211 fisher.And what other possibility I can do to fixed this.This is my email add ( landicho_randy@yahoo.com )

If a control valve is hunting means means if we are giving 50% to the cv, the cv will open at 51% then slowly slwoly it will reaches 49% , then it will reaches again 50%, this type of action occured frequntly.. so what to do for solve this problem. The possible cause is in volume booster or positioner's relay.. positioner is double acting .. and make siemens..sipart.The cv is double acting and mounted for anti surge operation, it having 4 nos. volume booster, one sov, one positioner, etc..?
