Calibration of Valve Gauges and Meters

Introduction:

Rapid progress in factories and power plants and its associated utilities leads to a parallel

needs in measurement and control actions in different sites and environments. Advanced

measurement systems have created the world’s most advanced distribution automation suite,

including designing, planning, management, and automatic feeder restoration. The advance in

measurement and control system leads to needs of progress advance in instrumentation ,

including valves, actuators , switches and different meters.

When it comes to calibration, it is not enough to state that an instrument complies with

published specifications; it is necessary to be ready to prove it and to have a state-of-the-art

system in place to monitor and preserve the quality of all calibrations. This course ranges from

revision of valves, actuators and switches and different meters needs for local and remote

measurements and control for different sites , To the advanced test methods and its manipulation

and calibration action execution will be required.

Who should attend?

The course curriculum is designed for electric power engineers. Supervisors and qualified

technicians can get considerable upgrading education. The course is also beneficial for other

engineers such as mechanical, communication and petrol engineers.

Program duration:

- Five days

Program Documents:

- Main Hard copy- Course CD- Additional items upon request.

The program has been designed to provide practical knowledge and tools of design, analysis and

implementation of both conventional and advanced measurement and metering elements (valves,

actuators and switches, …) in factories, power plants and other electrical utilities.
