Measurement & Control Appreciation
Course Description
This course consists of pressure, level, flow, temperature measurement, analogue and discrete signal transmission techniques, process control concepts modes of Proportional, Integral, Derivative (P.I.D) and complex control such as cascaded and Split-Range, etc. To provide an appreciation of the operation and application of process plant instrumentation used for the measurement and display of the main process variables of pressure, level, flow, and temperature. Also provides an appreciation of the principles of industrial automatic process control and the practical application of these on process plant control systems.

This Intensive Ten-day instructional program covering the educational needs of Instrumentation and Control Engineers & Technicians, Plant Operators, Operation Engineers, Process and Utility Supervisors, Project Engineers & Technicians, and Suited to those personnel who require to be acquainted with the actual work carried out by instrument personnel and who are involved with instrumentation personnel on a daily basis. No specific prerequisite training or experience required for registration.
