Measurement System

Measurement Units
12
The measurement is required for quantifying a physical quantity like temperature,
pressure, flow, mass, length, etc.
The measured quantities are quantified in terms of measured units.
The history of units was started at the time of barter trade.
There are multiple unit systems in use:
Imperial System
System International

Measurement System Applications
14
There are three major application of measurement system.
The rst of these is their use in regulating trade, applying instruments that measure
physical quantities such as length, volume and mass in terms of standard units.
The second application area of measuring instruments is in monitoring functions. These
provide information that enables human beings to take some prescribed action accordingly.
For example, In a chemical process for instance, the progress of chemical reactions is
indicated by the measurement of temperatures and pressures at various points.

Use as part of automatic feedback control systems forms the third application area of
measurement systems.
