INPF 60021 - Control Theory 2

0.13 CR
The pipefitting student will learn the importance of flow rate measurement. The pipefitting student will also learn how an office plate works along with a venture, flow nozzles, annubars, turbine flowmeters, vortex flowmeters, magnetic flowmeters, ultrasonic flowmeters, and the Coriolis flowmeters.

Course Learning Outcomes:
  1. Explain the architecture of process measurement and controls.
  2. Identify local, process, alarm, and protection controls.
  3. Identify process measurement and control devices and their operation.
  4. Identify open and closed-loop systems.
  5. Differentiate pneumatic/hydraulic multi-port directional valve schematics.
  6. Explain point force vs. distributed force, force balance, flow to open vs. flow to close, dome loaded, and differential.
  7. Explain the operation of pressure reducing valve and back pressure regulators.
  8. Identify direct-acting and pilot-operated regulating valves and their operation.
  9. Define differential pressure devices and dust collection operation.
