Certification of Completion: A Certificate of Completion indicating the total number of CEUs earned will be provided upon successful completion of the course.
Description:
This course is specifically designed for the instrument technician who may be struggling with mathematical computations or those who need a basic refresher. The course is focused entirely on fundamental problems and solutions that an instrument tech continuously works with from entry to supervisory level experience. It also provides a good prerequisite for the various math calculations involved in other ISA training courses.
You will be able to:
- Recognize the role that mathematics plays in a technician's daily duties
- Manipulate formulas to obtain unknown value(s)
- Define how and why to linearize an output
- Analyze and define a word problem and its related answers
- Manipulate very large (M, K) and very small numbers (Milli, Micro, Nano, Pico, Femto, Atto)
You will cover:
Mathematical Concepts Used in Solving Instrumentation Questions and Validating Related Data
Logical Analysis Approach to Mathematical Problems
Calculations Regarding: Validating the PV Input/Transmitter Output in Electronic and Pneumatic Instruments | Flow of Product through a Pipe Based on Area and Velocity | Elevated and Suppressed Zero Level Transmitter Corrections | Conversion of Metric Units to English Units and Vice Versa | Proportions, Ratios, and Percentages | Graphs and Logic Tables | Different Number Bases (Binary, Octal, Hex, Scientific Notations) | Density Based on Displacement | Specific Gravity and Density for Solids, Liquids, and Gases | Specific Gravity Affecting Level Measurement | Mathematical Validation of Level Based on Pressure
Classroom/Laboratory Exercises:
- Fractions and formula review ratios
- Proportions and percentages
- Large and small number conversions
- Converting between number bases
- Adding/Subtracting/Multiplying/Dividing
- Scientific Notations/Steady State Gain
- Conversion of units
- Fractions/Symbols/Graphs
A hand-held calculator should be brought to class.
