Industrial Instrumentation for Continuous Processes
Industrial Instrumentation for Continuous Processes
Instrumentation 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 comprehensive 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:
Temperature
Pressure
Level
Vibrations
Flow
Composition
This reviews over 80 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, NDIR analyzers, and much, much more.
As 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 units
The error types in the data
The data transmission approaches
How instruments connect themselves to the process
Process and instruments drawings
The criterion for instrument selection
This course is built for anyone currently involved, or planning to be involved, in continuous processes. It starts with the basics and grows progressively more complex, while providing examples of applications out of daily life. It aims to grow your expertise so that you can have a better critical view of the data provided, as well as a learned read of the documentation and daily operation of the instruments. This will enable you to recognize and solve your current problems and identify future opportunities.
This course contains various quizzes and documents, which includes an instrument selection checklist, to help you carry your new knowledge throughout your career.
