Course Description

This course covers basics of instrumentation sensors, transducers and related instrumentation used in the field of Oil & Gas and Petrochemicals. It elaborates sensor characteristics, various sensors and its working principle, specifications, and design and selection aspects used for sensing various process parameters along with merits and limitations of each type of sensor. 
The course would also build the knowledge of the participants related to working principles of control loop components, the control strategies, and the PID controller fundamentals including the terminology, algorithms and tuning methods. A special emphasis on real life implementations, case studies and international standards would ensure participants to co-relate the theory with their day to day practice.

Course Goal

To enhance the participants’ knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to develop and manage Oil and Gas Process Instrumentation program to build the knowledge of the participants related to working challenges.
