Abstract: In todays use of instruments for automation of oil and gas production, transportation, and processing applications, there are many things to be considered. These include the type of equipment to be used (mechanical, pneumatic, or electronic), the environment in which it will operate, and the physical limitations at the use location. History tells us that instrumentation has been accepted as a necessary and very essential tool in achieving profitable operations. There exists within the oil and gas industry a long tenure of operation with mechanical and pneumatic instruments. In the late 1950s, electronic instruments came into being and offered some additional solutions to a number of our automation problems. Since electronic instrumentation is being widely used for todays applications, let us consider some of the reasons for making the choice to use electronics.
