Process Measurement, Instrumentation & Control

The control of processes in today’s oil, gas and chemical industries requires accurate knowledge of process conditions and this, in turn, means the 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. 

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.

Learning Outcomes:

- 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.
