What is instrumentation?

Instrumentation refers to the use of instruments to measure, monitor, and control physical quantities in a system or process. These physical quantities include temperature, pressure, flow, level, and more. Instrumentation is essential in various industries, including manufacturing, chemical processing, oil and gas, power generation, and healthcare, where precise measurement and control are crucial for efficiency, safety, and quality. It often involves sensors, transducers, transmitters, controllers, and actuators working together to provide automated control and monitoring of complex processes.
