In an industrial situation where it is required to measure and control some aspect 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. Therefore, a fundamental understanding of the principle of operation of a range of sensors / transducers and instrumentation techniques applicable in an industrial situation combined with an understanding and knowledge of Process control techniques and tuning methods equips the Engineer or Technician with the necessary skills and makes them invaluable in their workplace.

Delegates will investigate the operating principles and concepts of instrumentation and measurement systems and will acquire the knowledge relating to the characteristics and properties of the variables being measured.

Moreover, the delegate will gain an understanding of the Process Control Systems and methods used in a modern industrial system.

This is a hands-on, practical Process Measurement, Instrumentation & Process Control training course and where applicable, theoretical studies will be supplemented with practical activities where the delegate will have the opportunity to design, develop, build, test and evaluate their own instrumentation systems within the seminar room.

Some of the main topics covered include:

  • Introduction to the principles and fundamentals of Process Measurement and Instrumentation systems and Process variables. Symbols and units used and sample calculations
  • Principles of operation of Sensors and Transducers used for:
    • Temperature Measurement
    • Strain Measurement
    • Pressure Measurement
    • Flow Measurement
    • Level Measurement
  • Ultrasonic techniques for non-invasive process measurement
  • Principles of Process Control and study of the main Control strategies used, leading to an explanation of the 3-term PID controller
  • Explanation of a method used to ‘tune’ a 3-term PID controller
  • Practical activities to design, build, calibrate and signal condition a typical sensor application

The main objectives of Energy Training Centre training course are:

  • 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 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

This Process Measurement, Instrumentation & Process Control training course is delivered via a series of mixed activities which will at times involve delegate participation. Theoretical content is delivered by informal lecture and discussion and supplemented where appropriate with tutorial sessions using worked examples. An opportunity is given for delegates to perform their own calculations based on sample systems.

An important part of the program is the hands-on aspect. Approximately, a quarter of the total time will be devoted to practical activities. Delegates will acquire the skills to design their own instrumentation system from a given sensor(s) and specification and also, using relevant software, acquire the skills to ‘tune’ a process control system.
