    INSTRUMENT  NOTES FOR QA/QC

    INTRODUCTION :

    It is the branch of engineering which deals with the measurement, monitoring, display etc. of the several of energyexchanges which take place during process operations. "In short Instrumentation is the study of Instrument."

    INSTRUMENT :

    Instrument is a device which is used to measure, monitor, display etc. of a process variable.
