COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises.  Theory learnt will be applied using one of our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Instrument Calibration & Maintenance. It covers the calibration fundamentals, types of instrument maintenance, standards and traceability and calibration tolerances and accuracy; the instrument identification and tagging, job hazard analysis for calibration work, PPE and safe practices, lockout/tagout procedures and permit-to-work requirements; and the pressure measuring instruments, temperature measuring instruments and calibration tools and techniques. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the calibration procedures, interpreting results and adjustments and troubleshooting pressure/temperature devices; the flow meter technologies, level measurement devices and calibration techniques for flow and level; the use of signal injectors for analog/digital output, troubleshooting with simulation, loop verification with simulated values and HART/fieldbus interface simulation; and the error source and corrections, 4-20 mA loop principles, loop calibration tools and signal conditioners and barriers. 
 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the loop testing procedures, troubleshooting techniques, live loop testing and safety and calibration records and reporting; the mandatory fields and formats, tolerance calculation and signatures; the certificates versus field reports and digital versus paper records; the barcode/RFID integration, scheduling and traceability and alerts and compliance reporting; and the internal/external audits, traceability documentation practices and common non-conformities.
