COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

Instrumentation is the science and art of measuring the value of some plant parameters such as pressure, flow, level or temperature and supplying a signal that is proportional to the measured parameter. The output signals are standard signal and can then be processed by other equipment to provide indication, alarms or automatic control.  This course will clearly explain the concepts and implementation of instrumentation.  It will identify and define the physical properties that must be considered in the proper installation, calibration, and use of a measurement device, with ample information on the parameters that must be adapted to achieve accuracy, regardless of the device’s make and model. 

 

This course is designed to provide a good overview of the instrumentation technology to non-instrumentation engineers.  Further, the course can serve as a refresher for instrumentation engineers involved with process measurement and control equipment.  The course covers a wide range of topics such as theory & application, pressure measurement, level measurement, temperature measurement, flow measurement, flowmeter selection & costs, basic principles of control systems, modes of control, typical applications, digital field communications, smart transmitter, P&ID, wiring schematics & diagrams, control valves and process considerations. 

 

The course includes a practical workshop on control valve computer programming that covers selection, sizing and actuator force diagram.  Each topic of the course will be discussed in a logically organized manner and contains an abundance of realistic problems, examples and illustrations to challenge the participants to think and encourage them to apply this knowledge to the solution of practical problems.
