1-day course
CPD Credit: 6 hours, C1
Course Overview
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.
