Why Choose Design Criteria in Instrumentation Engineering Training Course?
Take full advantage of the opportunity to attend one of the most beneficial training courses, presently being run. AZTech is proud to announce a 5-day training course entitled, 'Design Criteria in Instrumentation Engineering' jam packed with all you need to know, with respect to instrumentation design specific for the oil and gas industries. The control of a plant determines the efficiency of that plant. Therefore, the design of the instrumentation equipment used in the plant (used for measurement and control) is absolutely vital. This would be both from an operational as well as a safety point of view.
This Design Criteria in Instrumentation Engineering training course focuses on getting the plant instrumentation component selection and integration just right. It progresses from selection, documentation, classification, and right through to final project management. At all times, it is actively presented, to fit in with the working environment of the delegates.
This Design Criteria in Instrumentation Engineering training course will feature:
- Crucial instrumentation design documentation (including data sheets, schedules, P&IDs, etc.)
- Control philosophy, with respect to selected instrumentation
- Equipment and instrumentation tagging philosophy
- Hazardous area classification and appropriate certification
- Instrumentation and final control element (valve) selection and sizing
- Project management
What are the Goals?
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Assist in crucial decisions for instrument design and selection
- Interpret drawing and diagrams related to newly designed instrumentation
- Have a full understanding of the various process control strategies and how to implement them
- Implement hazardous area zones, and select appropriate instrumentation and equipment for them
- Manage a project appropriately, from design to handover
