    Final control elements are devices driven by a controller and are located in process lines. Final control elements change the operating conditions of the process and require energy to operate against the process pressure.  This energy is usually in the form of air pressure, hydraulic pressure or electricity.  There are a great variety of final control elements and accessories that make each one have its own characteristics to adapt to a particular process dynamic.

    This three day course will introduce the participants to final control elements and their requirements to enable them to control a process. Participants will learn about the different types of final control elements, how they are constructed and their common and unique characteristics. Time will also be spent on discussing the various accessories that are available to enhance the operation of the final control element.  The environmental aspects of final control elements will also be discussed.

    Upon completion of this course, participants will have a better understanding of the many types and varieties of final control elements.  The information gained from this course will be used to enhance and expand a technician’s knowledge base through on-the-job training and practical experience at the plant site.

    This course is mainly targeted to instrumentation technicians working in the field as an introduction or a refresher.  The course can be applicable to technicians working in other disciplines, equipment purchasers, procurement and storage personnel, job planners and immediate supervisors.
