Question 560General Subjects - Assistant Engineer
70% to passFor a pneumatic transmission system for instrumentation purposes, if a pneumatic pressure indicator has a calibrated scale of 0 to 5000 psig, what would be the actual measured pressure if the transmitted pneumatic signal pressure to the indicator is 6 psig, assuming the industry standard of 3 to 15 psig is used for instrument air?
A1000 psig
B1250 psig
C1500 psig
D1800 psig
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 1250 psig. The reasoning is as follows: In a pneumatic transmission system, the standard industry range for instrument air is typically 3 to 15 psig. With a calibrated scale of 0 to 5000 psig on the pneumatic pressure indicator, the 6 psig transmitted pneumatic signal would correspond to 1250 psig on the indicator's scale, as this value falls within the linear range of the 3 to 15 psig input. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the relationship between the 6 psig input signal and the calibrated scale of the pressure indicator.
