This course addresses both general and specific knowledge of the field of Instrumentation and Industrial Process Control, which is invaluable to Plant Planners, Plant operators and Engineers

The course explain why it is necessary to measure what is going on with your systems & equipment, how to measure it, and what those measurements, and to provide a quick and efficient overview of instrumentation, process measurement & control fundamentals. The course will explain may mean in terms of action that should be taken to eliminate future downtime or unnecessary expense.

Upon successful completion of this course, the delegates will be able to:

• Identify control valves used for various applications
• Understand piping and instrumentation drawings
• Management of equipment, calibration, traceability, measurement uncertainty, environment, test methods, test items, safety, quality control, records and reports etc.
