IETA 1400 - Process Controls/Instrumentation I
3 Credits
This course covers the fundamental principles of process measurement and control equipment and systems. Students will acquire the knowledge required to read and interpret piping and instrument diagrams, understand the terminology and language of control systems, and control strategies. Students will be introduced to a variety of instruments commonly used in industry for measurement and control.
Learning Outcomes
describe the application of sensors such as RTD’s, thermistors, capacitive level and pressure sensors, and flow meters
describe the operation of on/off, proportional and time-proportional control loops
perform conversions between measurement units, sensor units, output units and display units using both English and Metric units
define terms used in process control such as open and closed loop control, scaling, and proportional, integral and derivative (PID) control
read piping & instrumentation diagrams
Describe the operation and application of transmitters, transducers, and final control elements such as heaters, valves, and pumps.
