Toxic and Combustible Gas Leak Detection Practices

Personnel involved in the maintenance and operation of manufacturing facilities where toxic and combustible gases are processed and handled are at constant risk of experiencing health issues; injury; property loss or damage; or – at worst – fatality, should such gases ever leak. It is therefore vital for facility operators to adopt gas leak safety practices to help ensure the health and well-being of facility personnel and the physical environment in which they spend their working day.

 

Available in ½, Single, or Two Day Sessions, this course is designed to educate technicians and engineers on general toxic and combustible gas leak monitoring and detection practices. Strategies for implementing gas leak monitoring and detection systems, as well as suggested protocols personnel should observe when working in areas where toxic or combustible gas leak occurrence is a strong possibility shall be covered. Options for gas leak detection instrumentation and systems will be discussed, along with basic theories and principles explaining how such equipment works. The configuration and maintenance of a facility’s gas leak detection infrastructure will be discussed within the context of keeping people and property protected and safe.

Overview of 4-20mA Loops

A 4-20 mA loop is very often the least expensive, most reliable and simplest means of electrically sending a single measurement value, i. e. a temperature, pressure or flow rate from a transmitting device to one or more receiving devices at another location. 

This 4-hour course will provide application guidelines and the best installation practices that must be followed for successful implementation.  Students will learn to discover, diagnose and correct issues that result in inaccurate or non-functioning loops and become familiar with HART protocol to monitor and configure devices.

Temperature Measurement

This course will cover the fundamentals of temperature measurement.  Topics presented include definitions of heat and temperature, temperature scales and how to convert them, range and accuracy of common industrial temperature sensors, selection and application of sensors for industrial processes, system design, troubleshooting and calibration. 

Upon completing this 4-hour course, attendees will become comfortable identifying existing sensors, evaluating whether they are appropriate for the process and installed properly, and be able to determine whether that sensor is functioning properly.  Students will also be able to select appropriate sensors and installation methods for new systems.
