Accuracy: - ANSWER-An instrument's ability to indicate or record the actual value of a
measured quantity.
, Capacity index: - ANSWER-Quantity of water at 60 degrees Fahrenheit that flows
through a given valve with a pressure drop of 1 PSIG. Sometimes called flow
coefficient.

PSIG (pressure span) 78-90 degrees Fahrenheit (temperature span). - ANSWER-?
Deviation: - ANSWER-Departure of the control point from the set point of the amount of
that departure.
Dew Point: - ANSWER-The temperature at which dew forms or condensation or vapor
occurs.
Direct Acting: - ANSWER-The action of a controller that increases its branch line
pressure as the controlled variable increases.
Feedback: - ANSWER-Pressure developed by the flow of speed of the air impacting
upon a probe.
Full load amperage of the motor is the same as starting current. - ANSWER-False
H.O.A. switch: - ANSWER-
High pressure switch: - ANSWER-
