Course Introduction
Instrumentation engineering plays a vital role in ensuring process efficiency, safety, and reliability in industrial operations. Designing an instrumentation system requires careful consideration of process requirements, control philosophy, equipment selection, and compliance with international standards.
This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the key design criteria used in modern instrumentation systems across industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical, power generation, and manufacturing. Participants will gain insight into how to select instruments, design control loops, specify transmitters, and prepare documentation that meets both functional and safety requirements.
Through a combination of theory and practical case studies, participants will learn to design instrumentation systems that ensure process accuracy, operational integrity, and long-term maintainability.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand the fundamental design principles of instrumentation systems
- Define design criteria for various process measurements (flow, pressure, temperature, level, etc.)
- Apply international standards and best practices (ISA, IEC, ISO) in design documentation
- Select suitable instruments based on process and environmental conditions
- Design and specify control loops, interlocks, and safety systems
- Prepare instrument index, datasheets, and specification sheets
- Integrate instrumentation with control and automation systems
- Evaluate system reliability, safety, and maintainability during design
