Measuring converter
Measuring instrument which converts an input signal with a specific structure into an with a modified structure. Example: A/D converter or code translator .
Measuring turbine
Uses the velocity of the flowing medium to rotate a paddle wheel when the flow is in an axial direction ( Figure M 21 ). The turbine rotation speed in such cases is used to measure the passing flow ra
Measured signal
Representation of measured variables in the path of the signal flow by means of allocated physical variables of the same or a different type. The value for the measured signal (signal value) read off
Sequence of measurements
A sequence of several measurements at the same object.
Measured variable
Physical variable whose value is to be determined via measurement.
Measuring instruments
Devices — located along the signal flow — which make up a measuring device and whose measuring characteristics (errors, chain of influences) are specific to the measuring device in question ( Figure M
Proximity switch
Switch which switches when an object is approached or left. Either inductive devices which can trigger at distances of up to 25 m are used for this purpose, or capacitive devices effective at distance
Nominal pressure
Pressure used to describe or identify a device or system. It is less than or equal to the calculated pressure , DIN 24 312. The nominal pressure corresponds to the nominal value as per DIN 40 200. The
