Discharge data examine the process of hydrologic cycle and used significantly in water resource planning and irrigation and flood control planning. However, it needs lots of time and money to get the discharge data. So discharge rating curve is usually used in converting discharge data. Therefore reliability of discharge rating curve absolutely depends on quality of discharge data. Many engineers who study hydrologic engineering make high quality discharge data to develop reliable discharge rating curve. And they carry out research on standard and method of discharge measurement, and equipment improvement. Now various flow meters are utilized to make discharge data in Korea. However, accuracy of equipment and experimental research data from measurement are not enough. In this paper, constant discharge flowed through standard concrete channel, and the velocity is measured using various flow meters. Also Discharge is calculated by measured data to compare and analyze. The equipment for the experiment is Price AA(USGS Type AA Current meter), flow meter, ADC, C2 small current meter, flow tracker, Electromagnetic current meter. The discharge got form various flow meters which are widely used for discharge measurement. The various depths of water were examined and compared such as 0.30 m, 0.35 m, 0.40 m, 0.45 m, 0.50 m, 0.55 m. The experiment progresses a round-measurement on 6-case. Wading measurement(one point method : the 60 % height in surface of the water) was applied to improve creditability and accuracy among measurement methods. USGS Type AA current Meter, Flow Meter, ADC, C2 Small Current meter got the certificate of quality guaranteed. So the results of experiment were used to compare discharge. The Results showed the difference based on USGS Type AA current Meter at average discharge and velocity. Electromagnetic current meter made differences over $\pm$ 10 % and Flow Meter made differences under $\pm$ 10 %. Also ADC, Flow Meter, C2 Small Current meter made differences under $\pm$ 5 %.

유량자료는 물의 순환과정을 규명하고 효율적인 수자원 개발 및 이수 치수 계획 등에 매우 귀중하게 이용된다. 그러나 이러한 유량자료를 확보하는 데는 많은 시간과 경비 등이 요구되기 때문에 주요 수위의 유량측정자료로 수위-유량관계 곡선식(Stage-Discharge Curve)을 개발하여 유량자료를 환산하고 있다. 따라서 수위-유량관계 곡선식의 신뢰도는 유량자료의 품질에 절대적인 영향을 미치는 요인으로 작용된다. 수문학을 연구하는 많은 학자들은 고품질의 유량자료를 생산하여 신뢰성 있는 곡선식을 개발하고자 유량측정 방법과 기준, 장비개량 등에 관한 연구를 수행하고 있다. 측정하고자 하는 기기별 측정 성과에 대한 연구 자료가 거의 없이 국내에 보급된 다양한 유속측정기기를 사용하여 유량자료를 생산하여 활용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 규격화된 콘크리트 수로에 일정한 유량을 흘려보내고 다양한 측정기기를 이용하여 유속을 측정하였다. 그리고 이 측정성과를 이용하여 유량을 산정하고 비교분석하였다. 실험을 위해서 국내에서 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 측정기기로 마그네틱유속계(Electromagnetic Current Meter), 휴대용유량계(Flow Meter), 프라이스유속계(USGS Type AA Current Meter), 갈수기용유속계(USGS Pygmy Meter)등의 장비를 사용하였으며, 동일한 조건에서 유량을 얻음으로 측정 기기가 제시하는 유량을 알 수 있었다. 비교검토에 적용하고자 측정한 수심으로는 0.25m, 0.30m, 0.35m, 0.40m의 4개 Case로 진행이 되었으며, 측정방법으로는 도섭법(Wading Measurement)에 의하거나 케이블웨이(Cableway), 교량법(Bridge Measurement), 보트법(Boat Measurement)등이 있으나, 신뢰성과 정확도를 높이기 위해 도섭법으로 수면에서 0.6d 지점의 유량측정방법(1점법)을 적용하였다. USGS Type AA Current Meter, USGS Pygmy Meter는 유속측정기기의 검교정을 받았으므로 다른 실험유속측정치의 비교를 위한 기준값으로 사용하였다. 따라서 국내에서 널리 사용되는 측정기기(Electromagnetic Current meter, Flow Meter, USGS Type AA Current Meter, USGS Pygmy Meter)별 검토 결과 프라이스유속계를 기준으로 마그네틱유속계는 ${\pm}$10% 이상, 갈수기용 유속계 및 휴대용 유량계는 ${\pm}$5% 미만의 차이가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

The coefficient of the current meter generally determined by the maker Its coefficient is subject to being changed with time. Therefore the coefficient of the current meter has to be checked up before it is ready to be used Such an inspection is termed a current meter rating The current meter equipped an electronic apparatus and all the others are to be rated in a rating flume. The price current meter which is most widely used for measuring flow velocities ranging between 0.3m/sec and 3.5m/sec has been used in this study. The length of the flume and the optimum range of the rating in the cross section are determined in the range of 20∼120cm deep, 50∼160cm wide of the flume. In this study, the 23 different kinds of the current meter rating enabled us to determine the constants a and b of the following equation. V=an+b(m/sec) where, n is number of revolution per second(n=N/T) V is velocity(v=D/T) The above constant can be determined by the least squares method and plotting, using the velocity(V=D/T) and the number of revolution per second(n=N/T) obtained from the running distance(D), time(T), the number of revolutin(N), and the running number(m). From the experiments the following conclusions are drawn: 1) The rating flume is large enough if the flume is 110∼120cm deep, and 40∼50m long. 2) The optimum depth for rating of a current meter is in the range of h=40∼50cm.

The clamp meter maintains electric safety as a non-invasive method while measuring the absolute value of tube current with it has been recently developed for an X-ray high-tension cable. Especially this can show high accuracy at short X-ray exposure time. Considering such a condition, this study is to evaluate the feasibility of a clamp meter in measuring X-ray tube current by taking the measurements and comparing with those of the Dynalyzer III which has been considered as a standard measuring device. From measuring the tube current accuracy depending on changes in tube voltage and exposure time, the clamp meter showed higher accuracy rate which was -1.3~4.2% difference. Thus clamp meter can be used for clinical radiologists who are not familiar electric circuit to manage X-ray devices easily and correctly in the future.

The author designed and tested the high sensitive three-phase power factor meter and relay circuit, and dealt with the circuit to detect the phase of the current and the voltage. An operational amplifier comparator circuit and two single-phase transformers are used to control and detect the phase angle between the current and the voltage. The results obtained are as follows: 1. Converting the sine wave input current into the constant amplitude rectangular wave form by using a transistor chopper circuit, the power factor can be measured precisely over the load current of 0.08 A. 2. Using the moving coil type current meter, the power factor meter can be read in uniform . scale all over the range. 3. Using the three-phase power factor meter, the power factor relay which works at any power factor can be made.

Estimation of inflow rates into subsection of a tunnel is establishing the proposed grouting part, measuring the degree of grouting, and settling the dispute over deplrtion of groundwater which may be resulted from tunneling. A current meter was used to calculate inflow rates of groundwater to each subsection of the tunnel. The study area is composed of section 1 and 2 of Imha-Youngchun waterway trnnel which has 32.976km length, with each section having 3,745m and 4,079m, respectively. The depth from groung surface to tunnel ranges from 122.45m to 358.3m. Total inflow rates of groundwater into each section measured three times by the current meter, together with bottle and eye measurement, were compared with groundwater inflow rates of each section measured by datalogger. The calcuated inflow rates of the sections by bottle and eye measurement were 8.8%∼54.7% of inflow rate (averaging 27,4%), whwewas those by the current meter were 76.9%∼110.6%(averaging 92.9%). Therfore, the current meter is regarded as useful method to calculate groundwater inflow rates into subsections of a tunnel.

A blood-glucose meter is one of the in vitro diagnostic devices to measure and control the glucose concentration of diabetics. In order to measure the glucose level in the blood, the common method is to measure the amount of electrons, that is, the output current generated by glucose oxidation after a blood sample is inserted into the test strip containing an enzyme. The hematocrit is an obstacle in measuring accurate blood glucose concentration. This paper deals with the design and implementation of a blood-glucose meter to correct the hematocrit interference. We propose a sequential method which measures impedance using the alternating current and then measures glucose in the blood using the direct current. In addition, this paper introduces how to use commercial glucose strips based on the proposed system. Finally, we conducted the performance evaluation of the proposed system by comparing the measured current and impedance with those of the references. As a result, the standard deviation of the current measurement is approximately 0.6nA and the impedance measurement error for measuring the hematocrit is approximately within 1%. The proposed system will improve the accuracy of the conventional blood-glucose meter by reducing the hematocrit interference.

The measurements of X-ray and Gamma-ray Dose Rate have been successfully made by measuring the short circuit current of the Silicon P-N Junction Diode being irradiated. The short circuit current flows when a silicon P-N Junction Diode is irradiated by X-ray of Gammaray radiations due to photovoltaic effect. A brief analysis is given in order to verify the proportionality of a short circuit current to the Dose Rate. Using this method, measurements of X-ray Dose Rate were carried out in the range of 0.05-1600 r/m successfully. The calibration was made by comparing with Victoreen condenser r-meter. Some advantages in this Dose Rate meter over a condenser r-meter were found. One can measure a continous variation of X-ray Dose Rate with this rate meter at the control console of X-ray device.
