Process Measurement, Instrumentation and Control Fundamentals

Accurate measurement and reliable control keep African process plants running safely and efficiently, from water treatment to mineral processing. This course grounds delegates in the sensors, transmitters and control loops that hold processes on target. Participants gain the confidence to select, calibrate and troubleshoot instrumentation in the field.

What you will be able to do

  • Explain the principles of measuring pressure, temperature, level and flow
  • Select suitable instruments for common process applications
  • Calibrate transmitters and verify measurement accuracy
  • Describe how control loops maintain a process variable
  • Tune basic control loops for stable operation
  • Diagnose faults in measurement and control systems
