Instrumentation

What is Instrumentation?

Instrumentation is the art of using sensors and final control elements to manipulate industrial processes so quality is maintained and safety is ensured.

What We Do

We install, maintain, test and calibrate instruments for process control, SCADA, and safety systems.

Experience - Service

• Installation and Startup
  • Install - according to manufacturer's recommendations and local regulations
  • Test - see below

• Maintenance
  • Download user manual from manufacturer's website
  • Perform recommended tasks at recommended frequency
  
  
• Testing and Calibration
  • Functional Test - verify that a device works
  • Calibrate - verify the accuracy of a device
  • Adjust or replace as necessary
  
  
• Documentation
  • Tester and date
  • Manufacturer, model number, serial number
