MASTERING THE ESSENTIALS OF PROCESS INSTRUMENTATION
20 - 22 OCTOBER 2026
COURSE INTRODUCTION
This programme builds a practical foundation in the instruments and control loops used to measure and regulate industrial processes. Participants learn how pressure, level and flow measurements are produced, calibrated and represented on P&IDs, then connect those signals to control valves and plant-control decisions. The result is greater confidence in selecting, checking and troubleshooting common instrumentation systems.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
By the end of this programme, participants should be able to:
- Explain pressure, level and flow measurement principles used in industrial processes.
- Select appropriate instruments for common process conditions and measurement needs.
- Interpret P&IDs, instrument tags and analogue, HART, fieldbus and digital loops.
- Apply calibration, traceability, accuracy and repeatability principles.
- Explain control-loop behaviour and the functions of actuators, positioners and valve trims.
- Diagnose common instrument-loop and actuated-valve problems systematically.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This programme is suitable for instrumentation and control engineers, technicians, process and maintenance engineers, plant operators, commissioning personnel and technical supervisors who work with industrial measurement and control systems.
