Overview The CORE - Principles of Calibration training program, or unit, is designed to familiarize trainees with the basic principles associated with the calibration of input field devices and control loops. After completing this program, the trainees should be able to explain how to test, adjust, and calibrate various types of gauges and transmitters. They should also be able to explain how to test, set up, and adjust input field devices and calibrate control loops.
Objectives Explain how to decide the best time to test and calibrate. Describe the proper steps involved in a lockout/tagout procedure. Describe how to perform basic calibration procedures on a typical pressure gauge, pressure transmitter, and thermocouple. Describe how to adjust a typical sensor that switches in response to discrete position. Describe how to test and adjust a typical sensor that switches at a temperature, pressure, or control signal set point. Describe how to test and calibrate a typical sensor that responds to concentrations. Describe how to test, set up, and adjust a typical sensor that responds to flow. Describe how to perform basic calibration procedures on a typical output field device. Describe how to perform basic calibration procedures on a typical control loop.
