PREREQUISITES: INDT 113 - Industrial Electrical I .
PROGRAM: Industrial Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Spring, 2019

Provides an introduction to the field of instrumentation and covers process variables and the various instruments and devices used to sense, measure, transmit, and control those variables. A study of instrumentation drawings and diagrams is required. The course also introduces control loop systems and control methods.

MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:

  1. Describe the process variables and elements associated with pressure and pressure instruments. [a, b, e, f]
  2. Describe the process variables and elements associated with temperature and temperature instruments. [a, b, e, f]
  3. Describe the process variables and elements associated with level and level instruments. [a, b, e, f]
  4. Describe the process variables and elements associated with flow and flow instruments. [a, b, e, f]
  5. Describe the process variables and elements associated with analytical instruments. [a, b, e, f]
  6. Define terms associated with industrial process control & instrumentation. [c, e, f]
  7. Explain control loops, primary sensors, transmitters, transducers, control valves and controllers. [a, c, f]
  8. Compare and contrast symbology, process diagrams, and instrumentation sketching. [a, f, g]
  9. Utilizing safe industrial practices & cautions, wire & connect process control circuits for level, temperature, flow, pressure, and pH and demonstrate their operability. [a, b, c, d, h, i]
