1-day course
CPD Credit: 6 hours, C1
This course will provide an insight to industrial instrumentation application, selection, calibration, and maintenance. It is an introductory course that will focus on the most relevant techniques and instrumentation used to measure pressure, temperature, level and flow and how these critical measurements interface with the overall control system.
Delegates will gain a better understanding of industrial instrumentation performance characteristics and how it relates to the overall control system performance.
Course Aim
The primary objective is to give each delegate a fundamental knowledge of the basic principles of industrial instrumentation. It will focus on the definitions and application of various industrial instrumentation of the four major measurement areas.
The secondary objective is to give the delegate an overview of the fundamentals of the control loop and look at the complete control loop hardware.
The course will cover, but is not limited to:
- Introduction to process control
- The process control loop
- Introduction to the control loop documentation
- Hazardous areas and equipment selection
- Pressure measurement
- Temperature measurement
- Level measurement
- Flow measurement
- Communication protocols such as HART and Fieldbus
- Difference between DCS, PLC and SCADA
- Wireless Instruments
- Installation and operation of Instrumentation
Who Should Attend?
This course is focused to the needs of chemical, instrumentation, maintenance, and mechanical engineers and technicians working with pumps across the biopharma, food, water and wastewater, chemical and power generation sectors.
