Description

This course was built with a large range of backgrounds in mind. High school mathematics and physics will come in handy. You will get a basic run down of all process instrumentation concepts.DescriptionInstrumentation rests at the intersection of many disciplines, skills and trades, including: automation, process and mechanical engineering, programming, electronics, etc. Few people can claim to be experts in all these fields, yet many must use measuring instruments and the data they provide to fulfill their duties and achieve their objectives. One cannot improve something one cannot measure and all measurements are imperfect.This course provides a basic overview of the instruments used in continuous industrial processes of gases, liquids and granular solids, such as the ones from used in the water treatment, oil&gas, chemical, mining, food and thermal power generation industries.It describes and compares the instruments measuring the important properties that are:TemperaturePressureLevelFlowDensityViscosityPositionDisplacementForce / TorqueThis reviews over 50 of the most frequently encountered device types, such as thermocouples, RTDs, Bourdon and diaphragm pressure gauges, hydrostatic and ultrasonic level indicators, orifice plate flow meters, and much, much more.To ease the comprehension, as well as to provide context and tools to allow everyone to build a mastery of these technologies, this courses reviews:The properties measured and their common unitsThe error types in the dataWhy pressure is the most important measurementDifferent types of process instrumentation conceptsThis course contains various quizzes and multiple-choice questions downloadable files. It also includes mind maps for easy absorption of the material.Who this course is for:TechniciansProcess EngineersProcess OperatorsEngineering studentsElectrical EngineersAutomation engineersElectriciansDraftersPlumbersMechanicsManagersChemical EngineersMechanical EngineersMining engineers
