8) This describes the essential skills and knowledge and their level, required for this unit. Evidence shall show that knowledge has been acquired of safe working practices and using instrumentation drawings, specification, standards and equipment manuals. All knowledge and skills detailed in this unit should be contextualised to current industry practices and technologies. KS01-EI101A Concepts and Practices of Industrial Instrumentation Evidence shall show an understanding of the concepts of industrial instrumentation and the basic practices to an extent indicated by the following aspects: T1 Industrial Instrumentation encompassing: Introduction to the purposes of measurement in industrial processes Instrument control loops Types of measurement in these processes Local and remote measurement Measurement signal methods Signal transmissions electrical standards Signal transmissions pneumatic standards Flow, temperature, pressure and other appropriate measurements. Identification and purpose of instruments measuring processes directly and those measuring indirectly. Instrumentation and control components: sensors, transducers, converters and transmitters. T2 Instrument Standards encompassing: Instrumentation standards Relationship between standards Using standards Fluids in Process Piping Colour Coding. Instruments symbols T3 Instrumentation Terminology and SI units encompassing: SI base units SI derived units Scientific notation and engineering notation SI prefixes. Instrumentation metric units Non-standard SI Units - kg/cm2, etc. Conversion of units Instrumentation terminology: Span Range Accuracy Precision Errors Zero Repeatability Sensitivity Hysteresis T4 Calibration of link and lever instruments encompassing: Principles of levers and links and calibration of indicator recorder instrument Calibration terms Calibrate a link and lever instrument Interpret calibration data so as to identify the types of error displayed by an instrument and whether the instrument is within its specified accuracy. Interpretation of graphs and tables associated with instrumentation T5 Instrumentation safe working practices encompassing: Identification of instrumentation and control hazards Risk control measures for instrumentation work. Risk assessment T6 Instrumentation drawings, diagrams and manuals encompassing: Electrotechnology drawing symbols for instrumentation and control (electrical/electronic circuits; Instrument circuits/diagrams; PLC diagrams; pneumatic; hydraulic) tandards used in Instrumentation drawings (ISA; ASME; AS; SAMA). Drawings used in Instrumentation - schematic; single line; wiring; PLC diagrams; process flow diagrams - brief instrument information; process loop diagrams - details, terminals, types of instruments. Manufacturers Data Sheets, Manuals, Specifications and Test Procedures - instrumentation Manuals, Catalogues and Drawings. Interpretation of the specifications contained within instrumentation Manuals, Catalogues and Drawings. Interpretation of the test procedures contained within instrumentation Manuals, Catalogues and Drawings. Comparison of data presented in different forms for the same equipment. Identification of data relevant to instrumentation from a range of publicity material. Extraction of information such as calibration, testing or installation procedures from manuals, specification sheets and drawings. Quantity take-offs and Parts Lists Part Numbers for components, assemblies and equipment. Parts List for a specified project or installation from Manuals, Catalogues, Specifications and Drawings. List of equipment, required to undertake a specified project or installation, from Manuals, Catalogues, Specifications and Drawings. Identification and extraction of a Part Number for an actual sample component or part from a Manual, Catalogue, Specification and/or Drawing Sketching of instrumentation and control drawings: Sketching a schematic circuit diagram from a given circuit board layout diagram, wiring or installation drawing and installation or modification of a specified project using information contained within Manuals, Sketching a part or equipment layout needed to perform a specified task, such as installation or modification, from given Manuals, Catalogues, Specifications and Drawings |
