Purpose of Seminar:
The purpose of this seminar is to provide a quick and efficient overview of instrumentation,
process measurement & control fundamentals. The course will explain why it is necessary
to measure what is going on with your systems & equipment, how to measure it, and what
those measurements may mean in terms of action that should be taken to eliminate future
downtime or unnecessary expense.
Students leaving this course will have a firm understanding of the importance of properly
measuring and evaluating the data your systems want to give you. All you need to do is
learn how to ask for it!
Who should take this course?
This seminar is a must for anyone who works with manufacturing or process equipment in any
setting. General maintenance personnel, workers in cross-training programs, electricians
and engineers will find this course extremely valuable. Attendees come from a variety of
industries, skill-levels, company sizes, and job titles, so if you're not sure you will
fit in or will benefit from the class, don't worry - you will - as long as your job
involves instrumentation, and process measurement & control! Some of the people who
