ISA Training CoursesNon ISA CoursesIntroduction to Measurement UncertaintyInstructor: Ron Dieck This course is intended for scientists and engineers interested in evaluating experimental accuracy. It is in complete harmony with the principles of the ISO and other international standards on measurement uncertainty. Included are the basics of the measurement uncertainty model, evaluating systematic and random error sources, fundamentals of uncertainty budgets and the statistics needed for uncertainty analysis. Extra attention is placed on the personal problems of developing confidence in uncertainty analysis results and on using measurement uncertainty to select instrumentation systems. Special emphasis on understanding is achieved through lecture, discussion, two class experiments and the in-class working of many homework problems. After this one-day course, the students will be able to apply basic uncertainty analysis techniques to experimental test problems in order to help achieve the test objectives more productively and at lower cost. This course is taught on a college level presuming that the students have least BS degrees in engineering or science. Students need to bring calculators to work the experiments and problems. Selection and Application of Process Measurement SensorsInstructor: Henry R. Hegner This course will present the methodologies used to select and apply process sensors for process measurement and control, test measurement and aerospace industry applications. The elements of a typical sensor system, standard sensor output signals and interfaces will be presented. Sensor specification terminology and their definitions will be presented. Attendees will learn how to read and interpret manufacturer’s specifications. The course will also include the sensor selection process, including system planning and design review, measurement requirements, a sensor specification list including output, interface and cabling, as well as environmental, hazardous safety instrumentation and installation considerations, economic issues and selection of manufactures and vendors. The course will highlight sensors used to measure temperature, pressure, flow and liquid level. The main types of process measurement sensor technologies, including principle of measurement and application notes, will be presented with respect to a set of common specification parameters. This comparison will be used as a guide for selecting the types of temperature, pressure, flow, and level measurement sensors for a variety of applications. Special emphasis on understanding is achieved through lecture, discussion and class experiments. You will receive a copy of the ISA book The Condensed Handbook of Measurement and Control along with other selected handouts. 54th IIS Guest ExcursionTuesday, May 6, 2008
