One vessel, ten instruments, every number worked out. We take the V-100 three-phase separator from our Pressure Vessel, P&ID and CFD series and instrument it the way an EPC instrument engineer does: working principle, selection, sizing to the standard, and the installation details that make or break it in the field.

  • Part 1: The measurement loop: range, accuracy and 4–20 mA (ISA-5.1, NAMUR NE 43, total probable error) · free preview
  • Part 2: Pressure gauges, transmitters and impulse lines (ASME B40.100, API RP 551)
  • Coming next: temperature and thermowells (ASME PTC 19.3 TW), orifice plates (ISO 5167), flowmeter selection, level, control valves (IEC 60534), SIS / SIL (IEC 61511)

Every part ends with the datasheet lines it fills, and links to the Design Hub sizing tools so you can run the same numbers yourself.

Questions

Is this course free?

Yes, for now. Part 1 is available and new parts are added as they are released. Later parts may become paid; anything you can access stays yours.

How long is it?

Part 1 is about 4 minutes today. The series is planned as 10 parts covering pressure, temperature, flow, level, control valves and SIS.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes, when you complete the course you get a Design Hub certificate of completion.

Who is it for?

Instrument technicians and engineers, operators and process engineers who want to understand how instruments are chosen and sized on oil and gas projects.
