Thermometers for measuring temperature are first-order instruments. The time constant of a measurement of temperature is determined by the thermal capacity of the thermometer and the thermal contact between the thermometer and the body whose temperature is being measured.

A cup anemometer for measuring wind speed is also a first order instrument. The time constant depends on the anemometer's moment of inertia.

How to find out first order, second order instrument?

Up to I know if the mechanical parts of the system or fluid are subjected to acceleration, the dynamic behavior is described by second order system.

Can anyone briefly explain how to find the first order and second order system?

Sunil said:   6 years ago
Can anyone explain the first and second-order systems, please?

Order of the system is basically how many energy storage components that the device has.

For eg. A RLC circuit has 2 energy storage elements inductor and capacitor, so its order must be 2.
