Introduction4:40
This is just a personal introduction to help you place a face to the voice.

Flow Measurement. Lesson One. Types of Flow, Terminology.11:45
This lesson will help you to understand some of the terminology used when discussing flow measurement techniques.
Flow Measurement. Lesson Two. Differential Pressure Flow Measurement.15:18
This is a very large topic. One of the most common methods of measurement. The different methods are discussed here.
Flow Measurement. Lesson Three. Venturi Tube, Pitot Tube and Annubar.10:28
This is also differential pressure using different devices.
Flow Measurement. Open Channel, Rotameters, Vortex Shedding Meters.15:48
Here you will learn about the less common flow measurement techniques. Not used too often, but this knowledge is still very useful.
Flow Measurement. Turbine, Positive Displacement, Mag flow. Ultra-sonic Flow.18:36
The instruments described here are use for specific applications where greater accuracy may be required or the process may be more suited to these types of instrument. You will learn when to use them.
Flow Meter Proving14:43
This lecture will show you the difference between Calibration and Meter Proving and when meter proving is necessary.
How much have you learned about Flow Measurement?

PID control. An explanation of the different types of control and tuning methods17:51
This lesson describes PID control in detail. The different types such as Ratio and Cascade.
Closed Loop Tuning While in Auto.3:36
This lesson shows you how to tune a PID loop using the Closed Loop Tuning method.
Open Loop Tuning While in Manual.5:21
This lesson shows you how to tune a PID loop using the Open Loop Tuning method.
PID Control Quiz.

Requirements

Some basic Instrument knowledge would be an advantage but not an absolute. Inexperienced Instrument personnel will also benefit.

Description

This course Instrumentation Training Including PID Loop Training is for any of you who require the knowledge to design, install and maintain instrumentation systems throughout their operation.

My name is Jeff Sharman and I shall be your instructor during this training. I have had many years of practical experience in all aspects of Instrumentation as well as training both face to face and Online. I also possess a SAQA Further Education and Training Certificate: Measurement, Control and Instrumentation. This is South African but recognized in many countries internationally.

The course will start by giving you a general introduction to all the aspects that will be discussed.

Who Should Take This Course?

This course, Instrumentation Including PID Loop Training is designed for anyone already in the Instrumentation field and wish to enhance their knowledge further and feel confident to maintain, commission and select the correct device for the application
For anyone who is planning on entering the Instrumentation field in the future, then this is a must-have.

Listed below are some of the topics I will cover with you in this course.
• Introduction to Instrumentation for Measurement and Control.
• Pressure Measurement.
• Level Measurement.
• Temperature Measurement.
• Flow Measurement.
• PID Control Including Loop Tuning.

This is just a short description explaining what you will learn and it is very comprehensive. So take the course Instrumentation Including PID Loop Training.

There are a number of quizzes that you can complete after each section to help you reinforce your knowledge and gain confidence.

Once you finish the course, you will receive a certificate of completion.

The majority of the course consists of video tutorials where I will explain all the different aspects of Instrumentation and PID Control and demonstrate how they can be used.

The more you understand, the better you will be,
