Information Sources
A comprehensive and exhaustive search of the literature on instrumentation sensors for fluid control technologies was initially conducted. These sources included the latest press releases on company websites, including application news, company news, marketing news, product news, brochures, product literature, instrumentation sensors for fluid control technology magazines (e.g., Control, Fluid Handling International, Global Water Intelligence, Automation, Applied Automation), technical journals, technical books (e.g., Perry Handbook on Chemical Engineering, Instrument Engineers Handbook), marketing literature, other promotional literature, annual reports, security analyst reports on instrumentation sensors for fluid control and other technology business digest publications.
Consulted sources on instrumentation sensors for fluid control include the Instrument Society of America (ISA); the Sensor Technology Handbook; the Journal of Sensors and Actuators; the U.S. Census (www.census.com) on expenditures in different sectors in 2014 and 2015; the ASEAN Investment Report; Chemical Spending in the E.U.; Proceedings of the 5th World Congress on Intelligent Controls (Progress of Smart Sensors and Smart Sensor Networks); VDMA; ZVEI; and online research papers published by various U.S., European, Chinese and South Korean universities and research institutes.
Annual data published in 2016 on the Measurement, Control and Automation Association (MCAA) website was also taken into account.
The latest issues of magazines such as Control (www.controlglobal.com), Fluid Handling International, Global Water Intelligence and Applied Automation were also studied to extract the desired information related to instrumentation sensors for fluid control technology.
There is little specific data in the available literature that analyzes the instrumentation sensors for the fluid control technology industry as a whole, and the data that do exist tend to present instrumentation sensors for fluid control as part of the sub-group category called control and instrumentation.
This category makes major expenditures on software and other hardware (e.g., PLC, display monitors, analyzers, positioners, valve actuators, wiring). The challenge was to identify and quantify the instrumentation sensors for the fluid control technology market and evaluate where it fits in with the C&I architectures of each of the 11 stationary sectors, as well as to identify and quantify sensors used in hydraulic cylinders used in the six targeted mobile sectors for position control. An extensive patent analysis was conducted to gauge technological innovation and to determine research activity as it applies to new product development.
The second phase involved formal and informal telephone interviews and e-mail correspondence with personnel in companies that offer instrumentation sensors for fluid control technologies for application in the 11 stationary sectors and six sectors combined into a sub-group called position control sensors in hydraulics cylinders. This involved interaction with experts in the instrumentation sensors for fluid control, suppliers, design engineers, consulting companies, other technical experts, government officials and trade association officials, as well as project contractor personnel.
Methodology
The research methodology was qualitative in nature and employed a triangulated approach, which aids in establishing validity. Initially, a comprehensive and exhaustive search of the literature on the application of instrumentation sensors for fluid control in stationary and mobile applications was conducted. These secondary sources included instrumentation sensors for fluid control technology journals and related books, trade literature, marketing literature, other product and promotional literature, annual reports, security analyst reports and other publications. Patent searches and analysis were also conducted.
In a second phase, a series of semi-structured telephone interviews and e-mail correspondence was conducted with marketing executives, product sales engineers, international sales managers, application engineers and other personnel from companies that offer instrumentation sensors for fluid control technologies. Other sources included instrumentation sensors for fluid control technology magazines, academics, technology suppliers, technical experts, trade association officials, government officials and consulting companies. These were rich sources of data. Subsequent analysis of the documents and interview notes was iterative.
To understand the instrumentation sensors for fluid control market for the 11 process industries and for mobile applications, the research study measured total investment in each targeted sector by five regions (i.e., U.S., Europe, Japan, China, Rest of World [ROW]). The percentage of expenditures in control and instrumentation as part of total plant cost was derived from multiple sources.
After this, the cost of instrumentation sensors for fluid control was derived from C&I expenditure. This same variable according to prevailing practices was followed by end users and country guidelines for plant from one sector to the next and from one region to another. OEMS such as ABB and Vega often recommend types and numbers of instrumentation sensors for fluid control for almost all sectors based on past projects. Considerable assistance has been taken from the available information from such sources.

Summary and Highlights
Sensors and transmitters supply the fundamental data related to process in industries. The transmitter can transmit the sensed signal (e.g., temperature) in the industry standard 4-20 mA form, which is a function of the sensed parameter. An entire plant operation depends on this data, so it must be accurate, error free, and free from corrupt values caused by environmental noise and resistive drops. For this purpose, the conventional transmitters are being replaced by their smart counterparts. This has become possible due to the revolutionary developments taking place in the relevant technologies, including the design of high-performance microcontrollers and low-power devices, computer integrated manufacturing (CIM), data communication and industrial networking.
The potential advantage of the smart devices is that they can be interacted remotely by a handheld configurator. Moreover, when smart field devices are connected to a bus (i.e., a group of conducting lines following certain electrical conventions) known as Fieldbus, they can perform various operations otherwise unimaginable using the conventional devices.
Smart transmitters are the backbones of modern plants. They incorporate various features, including sensor linearization, remote communication, re-ranging, engineering unit conversion, damping, diagnostics, local/remote span and zero adjustment. Smart transmitters based on Fieldbus are being developed to network field devices such as PLCs, smart transmitters, actuators and controllers.
