Instrument Verification, Maintenance & Calibration – Institute of Industrial Development

Industrial Mechanical System

Overview of the Course

This course has been designed to introduce trainees to the basic principles of Instrument verification, maintenance, and calibration. They will learn the responsibilities of the instrument technician and the importance of accuracy and documentation. Participants will gain knowledge in the various calibration procedures of various types of measuring instruments, as well as the more complex final control elements.

Course Content

  • Calibration and Verification
  • Introduction to calibration and Verification principle
  • Selection of Measurement and Control Devices Repair modes and records
  • Handling equipment. Cleaning and decontamination;  Testing and evaluation; Disassembling and reassembling;  Calibration; Test stands
  • Troubleshooting instrument error
  • Safety while working with instruments
  • Hands-on practical exercises & simulations

Course Benefits

At the end of this course, all trainees shall be able to;

  •  Define calibration
  • Recognize if an instrument is properly calibrated by  examining the instrument input and output
  • Explain how calibration affects quality, productivity, and  safety
  • Identify conditions when calibration is performed such as at  an installation, periodic scheduled maintenance, in response  to process deviation, and after repair or change in mounting  position
  • Recognize accuracy and precision
  • Identify zero shift, span error, combined zero shift and span  error, and non-linearity with a pattern of instrument readings  on an input/output graph or calibration data sheet
  • Identify the basic elements of a calibration set-up
  •  Identify the input values for a five-point
  • Calibration check as a percent of the instrument’s range
