? is conformity to an indicated, standard, or true value, usually expressed as a percentage deviation (of span, reading, or upper-range value) from the indicated, standard, or true value, or the degree to which an indicated value matches the actual value of a measured variable. A mathematical relationship expresses the degree of conformity.

? is the set of values over which measurements can be made by a device without changing the device's sensitivity.
Calibration
Deviation
Range
Span
The ? is the variable for which supply and demand must be balanced. It is a physical or chemical change of matter and/or conversion of energy.
span
process variable
set point
process
A ? is information in the form of a pneumatic pressure, an electric current, or mechanical position that carries information from one control component to another.
control loop
signal
primary element
process variable
A ? is any variable property of a process. It is the part of the process that changes and, therefore, needs to be controlled.
set point
deviation
process variable
signal
A ? is the primary source of instrument information when ordering, designing, installing, maintaining, and calibrating an instrument.

A(n) ? is a process and instrumentation drawing or diagram.

A(n) ? is a control signal that is on or off, open or closed, run or stop, etc.; one of two possible states or conditions.
discrete signal
analog signal
electrical signal
set point
? is a term used broadly to describe any device that performs a measuring or controlling function. The process variables measured by the device may be used for indication, recording, or control.

? is the difference between the upper and lower limits of a range that is expressed in the same units as the range. It is the difference of the URV and LRV.

zero
The ? is the part of a loop or instrument that first senses the value of a process variable and assumes a corresponding, predetermined, and intelligible state or output. The sensor may be separate from, or integral with, another functional element of the loop. It is also known as a detector or sensor.
set point
controller
primary element
transmitter
? is the process of adjusting an instrument by compiling a deviation chart so that the instrument output can be correlated to a known standard input value.
Calibration
Accuracy
Deviation
Span
A ? is a drawing used to represent the interconnection of the control loop devices, their location in the process, and a traceable signal path between the devices.
loop sheet
control loop
P&ID
specification sheet
A ? is the desired value where a process should be maintained. The value may be manually set, automatically set, or programmed. It is expressed in the same units as the controlled variable.
range
span
set point
zero
A(n) ? is a signal that uses binary (0 or 1) digits to represent continuous values or discrete states.
analog signal
digital signal
discrete signal
set point
? is a departure from a desired value. It is the difference between the value of a specific variable and some desired value, usually a set point.
Span
Accuracy
Range
Deviation
A(n) ? is a device that senses a process variable through the medium of a sensor and converts the input signal to an output signal of another form. The output of the device is a steady-state value that varies only as a predetermined function of the input (process variable). The sensor may or may not be integral with this device.
control element
instrument
primary element
transmitter
A ? is a process under control, whereby an instrument measures a process variable and the data is manipulated by a controlling device, which sends corrective data to a final control element to appropriately adjust the process variable; the process automatically repeats.
control loop
signal
deviation
calibration
A ? is a device having an output that changes to regulate a controlled variable in a specific manner.
controller
final control element
primary element
transmitter
he ? is the component of a control system that directly regulates the flow of energy or material to the process. The device directly controls the value of the manipulated variable of a control loop. Often it is a valve.
controller
primary element
final control element
transmitter
A(n) ? is a continuous operating signal that is a continuous representation of a physical quantity, property, or condition. The signal may be transmitted as pneumatic, mechanical, or electrical energy.
