NST 204
Field Instrumentation Installation, Setting & Calibration(Local Instruments, Loop Checks & Commissioning)
This course provides practical competence in installing, configuring, calibrating, loop-checking, and commissioning field instrumentation in process plants.Participants will work with local field instruments, transmitters, gauges, switches, control valves, and signal loops — learning step-by-step procedures used during project execution, shutdown maintenance, and plant startup.Strong emphasis is placed on safety, documentation, accuracy, and fault-finding in real industrial environments.
Duration: 5 days
Prerequisites: Basic technical or engineering knowledge and familiarity with industrial processes
