Availability analysis of 4-20mA pressure trasmitters under harsh environmental conditions using the discriminant classifier

Instrumentation and control (I&C) systems act as the central nervous system of the Nuclear Power Plant as the erroneous functioning of them can become a reason for an inevitable casualty. The information from these instruments is crucial for plant operators to assess and continuously monitor...
