Multiskilling Program Overview
This program started in order to provide artisans from other disciplines with the ability to do first-line fault-finding. It ended up covering virtually everything an Instrumentation Artisan, or even Technician, needs to know. It also works well for Electrical and Mechanical Engineers wanting to know more about Instrumentation. Planned as four 2- and 3-day workshops, can also be run over 2 weeks.
Synopsis Instrumentation Multiskilling Level 1
A 2-day introduction to the world of Instrumentation and Control, looking at why measurement is needed, the elements of a Control System, analog and digital inputs and outputs. Instrument symbols and Indentifiers, also P & I diagrams.
Contents
Introduction to measurement and Control Systems: analog and digital Inputs and Outputs.
Digital Input Devices: Proximity switches (Inductive, Capacitive, Optical); Shaft Encoders.
Temperature Measurement: Thermocouples; RTDs; Infrared thermometers. Practical exercises demonstrating these.
Transmitters: Why; 2- and 4-wire transmitters; calibration of dumb and smart temperature transmitters. Concepts of accuracy.
Pressure: What is pressure? Different units. Calibration of dumb and smart pressure transmitters. Installation issues.
Documentation: Instrumentation symbols and Identifiers. P & I Diagrams.
