ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENTATION - OFFSHORE PRODUCTIONSYSTEMS

5 DaysLocation: SRTCC

Contact: SRTCC Staff, Dannie Smith, 985-543-1225 or 504-728-1225

Course Overview:

This workshop is taught in a 5-day session. It provides training for those who havecompleted the Basic or Advanced Offshore Electrical courses or whose electricalexperience warrants attendance. The course covers measurement principles of level,

flow, pressure, temperature, volume, wind velocity and safety systems followed by

theory and description of operation, calibration and maintenance of equipment used

in offshore production systems. Equipment covered includes dumb and smart processtransmitters, switches, transducers, sensors and interfacing equipment. Emphasis is

placed on understanding the electrical and electronic principles involved in sensing,

conversion and transmitting useful information to end devices, including meters,remote terminal units and programmable logic controllers.

Designed For:

This course is recommended for operators and maintenance personnel who have

completed basic electrical training or electricians who desire to broaden their

knowledge of electronic instrumentation. The course allows participants to gain aworking understanding of electronic instrumentation and safety systems.

Prerequisites:

Completion of Basic of Advanced Electrical and Electronic Systems.

Objectives:

Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:

Understand basic electronic instrument terminology.

Apply measurement principles to field applications. Calibrate and monitor a variety of electronic instruments.

Analyze and troubleshoot instrument problems and provide proper maintenance.

Understand safety sensors, devices and controls.

Learn how electronic instruments interface with electronic data acquisition

devices, including programmable logic controllers, RTU's and CAO.
