Field Instrumentation (Oil & Gas)

Introduction

The objective of this course is to provide fundamental understanding of field instrumentation involve in any
process plant (oil refinery, fertilizer plant, gas fields etc), This hands-on training course is designed to familiarize
the learners with common field Instrumentation equipment and calibration methods and give them the ability to
set up, calibrate, etc, it also deals with common field process control equipments and actual concepts and factors
involved in setting up, maintaining, and tuning a variety of temperature, level, pressure and flow loops. It also
covers more advanced control strategies such as feedback, feed-forward, and ratio control etc.
