Electromagnetic Flow Meter

Definition: The electromagnetic flow meter is a device used for measuring the flow of the liquid when it passes through the pipeline. Or we can say that the electromagnetic flowmeter use for measuring the flow rate of the electrically conducting fluid. The electrically conductive liquid means the liquid allows the current to pass through it. …

Synchroscope

Definition: The synchroscope is a device which shows the correct instant at which the two systems are synchronised. The terms ‘synchronize’ means the machines of equal frequency and voltage are operating parallel to each other. The synchroscope consists the two-phase wound stator and rotor. The alternators provide the two-phase supply to the synchroscope. If any …

Frequency

Definition: The frequency is the number of oscillation per unit time. It is used for defining the cyclic process like rotation, oscillation, wave etc. The completion of the cyclic process at particular interval of time is known as the frequency. The SI unit of the frequency is Hertz. The symbol λ represents it. The one …

Optical Pyrometer

Definition: The optical pyrometer is a non-contact type temperature measuring device. It works on the principle of matching the brightness of an object to the brightness of the filament which is placed inside the pyrometer. The optical pyrometer is used for measuring the temperature of the furnaces, molten metals, and other overheated material or liquids. …
