Measuring Technology and InstrumentationLaajuus (3 cr)

Code: AE00CM65

Objective

Students will be competent in making basic measurements safely and correctly. They will be able to determine and locate possible faults by interpreting the measuring results. The student is able to tune the equipment to operate energy efficiently based on the measurement results obtained. They will take into account the impact of external interferences on measurement results. Students will learn about the characteristics of computer-based measuring devices and their possible uses in different applications.

Students will understand industrial processes, instrumentation diagram drawings and possess the eadiness they need to design industrial control and adjustment systems. Students will be competent in using the more common methods of measurement used in industry and be capable of planning, measuring and installing instruments for industrial processes. They will also be competent in selecting measurement and control instruments and plan the installation, purchase and startup of them.

Content

- Basic concepts of industrial instrumentation
- Instrumentation diagrams and documents
- Principles of instrumentation and measurement technology
- Instrument installation and field engineering for industrial processes
