Instrumentation for Automation & Process Control
Introduction:
This course is for engineers and technicians who need to have a practical knowledge of selection, installation and commissioning of industrial instrumentation and control valves. In many respects a clear understanding and application of these principles is the most important factor in an efficient process control system. You can only achieve excellent control of your processes when your instrumentation provides the correct information. This would involve the design, specification and implementation of control and measurement equipment. The course focuses on real applications, with attention to special installation considerations and application limitations when selecting or installing different measurement or control equipment.
Course Objectives:
By the end of this course delegates will be able to:
Who Should Attend?
Electrical engineers, maintenance engineers, energy management consultants, automation engineers, design engineers, project managers, instrument fitters, electricians, instrumentation engineers, consulting engineers, production engineers, process engineers, chemical engineers, mechanical engineers, instrument and process control technicians
