Mechanical Engineering : Process Instrumentation And Control QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS :: part2 : 16 to 20

Following Mechanical Engineering Multiple choice objective type questions and answers will help you in BSNL JTO, GATE 2024 and IES 2024 examinations :

16.Twisting the thermocouple wires together and heat welding them :

is the standard practice of making junction
would result in noise generation
cause small errors due to local e.m.f. which may arise if the junction is too long
would slow down the response
result in inaccuracies.

17.Proving rings are used to measure :

displacement
force
velocity
acceleration
shock.

18.A siphon or loop in the connecting pipe is interposed as close as possible to the pressure gauge so that:

steam can condense to form a seal of water to fill the tube or bellows at the pressure being measured
air or vapour collection is avoided
moisture formed in pipe can be drained
static head errors are eliminated
it acts as dampener and does not pass on pressure variations to sensor.

19.Which of the following thermocouple generates highest e.m.f. for a given temperature :

copper-constantan
iron-constantan
chromel-alumel
platinum-rhodium platinum
silver-palladium.

20.For measuring temperature in the range of 20 to 600�C, following liquid is used in glass thermometer :

mercury
alcohol
toluene
pentane
creosote.
