This course will cover areas pertaining to the instrumentation, basic concept of the control system, and components (sensors, input/ output elements, controllers, final control elements) of a typical
industrial system. Specific instrumentation and controls for pressure, temperature, flow, level, density, control valve, and field data acquisition systems will be covered. This course will go on to explain the basic working principles, measuring devices, operations, and specifications as applicable to the major industries.
