Instrumentation & Process Control Course in Dubai
This instrumentation and process control course in Dubai explains how plants measure pressure, flow, level and temperature, and how control loops keep those values on target.
About the Instrumentation & Process Control course in Dubai
This instrumentation and process control course in Dubai explains how plants measure pressure, flow, level and temperature, and how control loops keep those values on target. You read P&IDs and loop diagrams, select and calibrate transmitters, look at control valves and tune PID loops on a simulator. Field wiring, HART communication and safety instrumented systems are also covered. The course suits engineers and technicians in UAE oil and gas, utilities, water treatment, district cooling and manufacturing who maintain, commission or design instrumented systems.
Instrumentation and process control is the engineering discipline that measures physical process variables and uses controllers to hold them at a set value. It covers sensors, transmitters, control valves, controllers and the documents that describe them, such as P&IDs, datasheets and loop diagrams.
At Solve Tech in Deira, Dubai, the Instrumentation & Process Control course takes 40 Hours and is offered online, offline and hybrid on weekend and weekdays. It suits electrical, electronics and instrumentation engineers and maintenance technicians who work with machines and plants. Sessions are led by a trainer and built around exercises you complete yourself, so you leave with work you can show. Learners often pair it with PLC Training or VFD Training. Classroom learners come to Mabrooka Building 04 on Al Muraqqabat Road, a short walk from Al Rigga Metro Exit 2, and online learners follow the same syllabus live. You can compare every option under Industrial Automation courses. Message us for the syllabus, the fee and the next batch date.
