Instrumentation & Calibration - Introductory Training Course
Course Aim
Course date: Thursday 27th September, 2018
Modern industry relies on accurate measurement and control of process parameters to ensure high quality products are produced safely and efficiently. Technicians, working in the Process and Pharmaceutical Industries are involved in the installation, configuration, calibration and maintenance of measurement and control systems.
This course is designed to give participants the knowledge required to operate in such environments and it will introduce industrial instrumentation as used for troubleshooting, process measurements and process control.
