Course Introduction
The control of processes in today’s requires accurate knowledge of process conditions and this in turn means accurate measurement of those conditions. Without measurement there can be no control and no information as to the state of the process. A greater understanding of the measuring equipment and the instruments can improve the performance of the operator and this in turn will improve plant performance.
The principles behind the selection
Better knowledge of how equipment is selected and how it is constructed and how it works also helps an operator to identify the cause of problems and prevent their Recurrence. Hence, the economic benefits of properly trained and informed operators can be readily quantified. It Is suitable for operators. Describes the major types of measuring and control instruments and equipment that are used. Describes the principles behind the selection, construction and operation of process measurement and control equipment. Builds on the existing knowledge of process operators.
