Oil, Gas & Petroleum · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 2,500
Overview
In an industrial situation where it is required to measure and control some aspects of a process, it is often the application of the knowledge and the ingenuity of the Engineer or Technician which is relied upon to solve the measurement and control problem.
Learning Objectives
To give an understanding of the principles of operation of a range of sensors and transducers
By using a hands-on approach, enable the delegate to investigate the operation of an instrumentation system through designing, building and testing a typical sensor combined with appropriate signal conditioning circuits
To allow the delegate to become familiar and confident with a range of measurement techniques
To understand the concepts of Process Control and acquire the knowledge relating to the characteristics and properties of a process variable being measured
To become familiar and knowledgeable with PID control and develop the ability to ‘tune’ a process control system using PID control
To have the confidence and knowledge to apply the above techniques and principles to solve an unfamiliar and bespoke measurement situation in the workplace
