Overview of Basic Instruments
This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of various types of indicating instruments used in engineering plants and other day-to-day applications.
Engineering measuring instruments are typically classified into the following groups: pressure gauges, temperature detectors, temperature measuring devices, electrical indicating instruments, liquid-level indicators, revolution counters and indicators, salinity indicators, and torque wrenches.
These instruments are used to determine how the engineering plant is operating. Machinery damage, personnel injury, and expensive and time-consuming repairs can be avoided by taking proper operator actions, which can only take place when the instruments (temperature indicators, pressure gauges, and so forth) are properly calibrated and properly interpreted by the operating personnel.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to electrical and mechanical engineers as well as others interested in learning more about the basic instruments used in various engineering applications.
This P.Eng. continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the basics of engineering measuring instruments
- Understanding the use of sensitive measuring tools
- Learning how to read and interpret gauges, indicators, and thermometers
- Gaining a general overview of the purpose of engine test equipment
