Content of the lectures is devoted to measurement methods and principles used in modern sensors for measurement of temperature, pressure, flow and total volume, level and for measuring of the composition of liquids and gaseous mixtures. Students will also learn about the signal processing. Laboratory exercises are focused on thermography, pressure transducers, heat measurement, gas and vapor concentration measurement in the atmosphere, including measurement of combustion emissions, sensor signal processing and wireless sensors. According to individual assignments, the students process a technological measurement project.
Aim of the course
Last update: Kopecký Dušan doc. Ing. Ph.D. (10.08.2018)

Students will be able to:

Design and select from a wide range of manufactured sensors a suitable sensor for the specific application of the technological quantities measurement in laboratory and operating conditions.

Work independently with instruments and systems for temperature, pressure, level, flow measurement, and with gas and liquid analyzers.
