Plant Science: Process Dynamics and Measurement

This course is designed to familiarize participants with the characteristics of dynamic process operation and with devices that are commonly used to measure process variables. After completing this course, participants should be able to explain what resistance and capacitance are in process systems and to describe factors that affect the response of a process system to operating changes and process disturbances. Participants should also be able to describe devices that can be used to measure pressure, flow, level, and temperature.
