Answer the following questions by marking True or False (half mark each) -

45. A lesser value of drift error makes repeatability error less.

46. All transducers are sensors, but all sensors are not transducers.
47. A load cell can have piezoresistive transducer but not piezoelectric transducer.
48. A transmitter always has a transducer.
49. ‘Air to open’ type valve actuators and valve body are direct acting. F
50. In a PID control, reducing derivative time would decrease derivative action
component of control.
51. Noble metal thermocouples have lower sensitivity but wider temperature
measurement range than base metal thermocouples.
52. It is easier to correct random errors of measurement, than systematic errors.
53. Resolution of an instrument is expected to be greater than dead band.
54. A valve with quick opening inherent characteristic can be expected to have linear
installed characteristics. (f)
