Calibration and Accuracy in Process Measurement
A lot of time and money is spent on accurate measurements in process. It is very easy to spend a lot of money on seemingly inexpensive sensors; operators lose a lot of time to switching out sensors and correcting incorrect calibrations. Additionally, plants are very conscious of maximising their yields, and accurate sensor equipment is a critical part of this. This one day course outlines optimum calibration and measurement methods to obtain the most accurate measurements possible in process environments.
Topics covered in this course include:
- The anatomy of a sensor
- Sensor selection for your processes
- How and why sensors are calibrated
- Different calibration methods available, and which method is most applicable
- Cleaning sensors
- Different error sources in measurements, and ways to combat them
At the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Understand the basics of measurements
- Select an appropriate sensor for your various process environments
- Identify and minimise error sources in process measurements
- Select the most suitable calibration method for your process measurement
- Clean sensors to improve sensor accuracy and lifetime
