Instrumentation

Instrumentation (Course 510)

About The Course

This course covers the key aspects of industrial instrumentation and is designed to enable maintenance personnel to carry out commissioning, calibration and maintenance of the typical devices used for measurement in industrial systems.

Course Participants

No prior Instrumentation knowledge is assumed. Though this course is aimed at those who presently possess some electrical knowledge , work in a maintenance environment and seek to expand their activities to include process control and instrumentation systems.

Course Presentation

The course is extensively 'hands on', giving participants considerable practical experience of the devices typically found in industry. Comprehensive course notes are provided.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of the course, participants will be able to

• understand the health and safety implications of working with closed-loop control systems
• identify the various methods of signal transmission
• correctly connect electrical and air-powered devices
• understand the equipment used in temperature, pressure, level and flow measurement
• understand current loops and recognize the common output devices
• correctly use a range of industrial calibration equipment
• correctly connect, commission and calibrate current loop devices, temperature transmitters, pressure switches, pressure sensors, dp cells, ultrasonic level meters, load cell amplifiers, I to P converters and HART devices
• understand the principles of turbidity, density, pH, and weight measurement.
