Complete Field Instrumentation Engineering Course

Explore P&ID symbols and identifications, including common valve symbols (gate, globe, ball, butterfly, plug), instrument signals (electrical, pneumatic, fiber optic, digital, ultrasonic), and typical flow, temperature, and level meters.

Prepare technical data sheets for magnetic flow meters by identifying inputs, process conditions, and vendor requirements; define general information, sensor elements, transmitter details, ranges, and certifications to meet client specifications.

Review meter sizing and vendor calculations using process data, auto and manual selections, and assess pressure loss, minimum/maximum flow, and accuracy to select a suitable meter.

Create and complete a technical datasheet by following a process: review the period, gather general information, apply the PDS and PMS, specify sensor and meter details, and set calibration ranges.

Analyze technical bids by preparing and reviewing the datasheet, aligning bidders with project requirements, and using a structured technical analysis to compare vendors before selecting the supplier.

Ensure proper installation and dimensional drawings for Vertex Lomita, with supplier submissions of model, tag, rating, and material for 3D models reviewed by engineering before manufacturing.

Apply orifice meters in natural gas, water treatment, oil filtration, refineries, and petrochemical plants, highlighting low cost and easy installation, but noting lower accuracy and high pressure drop.

Explore venturi meter designs, including flange and welded configurations, with parts such as inlet/outlet flanges, throat, reducer, expander, straight sections, and pressure taps, and learn PMS-based material selection.

Review vendor calculations for venturi meter sizing, verify pipe data and process data, compare pressure loss with allowable limits, and ensure tag numbers and dimensional drawings align before manufacturing.

Select tapping and transmitter placements by fluid type—liquid, wet gas, dry gas, or steam—using horizontal, vertical, or 45-degree orientations, with gentle or slightly lower tapping as needed.

Explore the technical specifications of temperature gauges for metal and fill systems, including dial sizes, materials (304/316 stainless steel), stem dimensions, BSP connections, and accuracy ranges.

Prepare technical data sheets for temperature gauges, detailing general information, process conditions, sensing elements, and calibration and materials certificates.

differential pressure gauges measure the difference between lp and hp pressures using diaphragms, producing a resultant pressure that drives a mechanism and moves the pointer to display the reading.

Explore mounting and installation options for pressure gauges, including diaphragm seal and bourdon tube types, with flange, empty, and NPT connections, plus accessories like siphons and damping for pulsation.
