~operational data
~alerting
bourdo tube
~up to 800psi
~rugged
~0,5% to +/- 3 5 accuracy
~can messure pressure and vacuum

Measuring temperature
~gas temp
~abient air
~bleed air
~air con
~eng air inlets
~eng exhaust
RTD
Ressitence varies positevely with increase temp
1 litre= 0,22 imperail gallons= 0,26 us gallons
Ultrasonic fuel
Need to monitor the speed of sound ,because the wave is affected by the spped of local sound
Electromeechanical fuel flow
~An impeller is used to measure the flow
~needs to be combined wiht a density device
Accuraet 2%
Analaogue lectrical fuel flow
Rpm (TACHO)
~mechanical
~electrical
~electronic
Induction probe
Tooth wheel on the shaft of the spool ,a sendor will produce a voltage as the wheel rotates,the puls eis proportional to spool speed.
The new gadgetd use the compressor blades power itself older need current
Synchroscope
~compares the tachos each engine
~one eng is the master ,the pilot adjust the other rpm until they are synchronosied
Epr
~inlet probe blocke : high /normal epr,low fuel flow and egt low
~leak from the exhaust /probe ,low epr ,high/normal fuel flow /egt
Measuring torque
~inch pounds
~foot pounds
~newton metres
~% of max torque
