INDUSTRIAL PROCESS MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL 13—17 March, 2016 Doha, Qatar

www.qatarskillsacademy.com

Course Introduction: Globalization has placed increasing demands on modern process control in terms of quality, safety, flexibility and costs. However, more efficient control can only be achieved through better measurement when the process instrumentation provides the correct information.

Mechanical Engineering

The field of process measurement and control is changing at a dramatic rate. Measurements and accuracies that would have been thought of as impossible to achieve are now commonplace. Further, for many years chemical measurement has remained the preserve of the analytical chemist. More and more, however, on-line analytical measurement is being applied in process control and is increasingly becoming the responsibility of the instrumentation and control technologist. This course, PRACTICAL Process Instrumentation a Measurement and Sensors, is designed to provide engineers and technicians with the basic theoretical and practical knowledge involved in the selection, application, installation and commissioning of industrial instrumentation and on-line analytical instrumentation. Although the subject of many hundreds of articles, books, and courses, the basic elements of automatic process control are still widely misunderstood. Worse, the majority of control systems are misapplied. Research carried out by ISA and other bodies indicates that up to 75% of all loops will oscillate when operated in automatic.
