Instrumentation Design, Installation,
and
Maintenance Course
General
Course will be 5 days
long, starting with an introduction to the subject and
continuing on with the need for process measurements,
which measurements are needed, what technology can we
use to measure. Control techniques are discussed, and
interface methods between instrumentation and the
control system is discussed. System design, including
details of the various types of instrument related
drawings, is covered extensively. Instrument Data
Sheets are covered, including the reasons for each of
the fields in the sheets. Important items to consider
when developing contracts for design, installation,
calibration and maintenance of instrumentation systems,
are discussed. Recommendations, based on the
instructor’s experiences, will be presented for
discussion. Pre-Instruction Exercises, daily written
exercises, and a Post-Instruction Exercise, will be used
to monitor if the information is being presented
effectively.
