Basic Instrumentation for Operations increases the level of awareness and understanding of the most commonly used instruments in the process industry.
The objective is to streamline the troubleshooting process by providing a ‘common language’ between operations and maintenance. Effective communication will
accelerate repairs and minimize downtime.
