What Every Instrument Engineer Should Know?

What Every Instrument Engineer Should Know?

As instrument Engineers, there are certain things that we need to know in our workplace.

• The first and foremost important thing is to get the whole knowledge about the entire process of the plant in which we work. Whether it can be a small level or a huge industry

• Jobs for instrument engineers can be considered as installation, calibration, control, and maintenance.

• We may be part of the production department, which develops automation products or we may be part of the design team or maintenance of the plant.

• We should know all instruments and their specification which uses in plants and processes; also knowledge about the product and its characteristics, so that at the time of production, we can set parameters like pressure, and temperature which is suitable for the product.

• P&ID diagram is the most important thing for a better understanding of plant and process. So as instrument Engineers we should know all PID symbols, control loop analysis, and tuning

• It is very important to have knowledge of basic principles, working, and construction of instruments for installation and maintenance.

• Calibration is the most essential job for all instrument engineers. All the instruments have their own calibration process that we have to know.

• There is also the usage of PLC/DCS in the automation industries to ease the plant operations, which again is part of the instrumentation team’s job as only an instrument engineer knows about the process in and out.

• Add up to this, to operate PLC we should know the programming and wiring of the PLC.

• Moreover, Instrument engineers mostly deal with maintenance (i.e. Preventive maintenance and corrective maintenance) of field instruments. Therefore, basic electrical wiring we should know to solve the breakdowns.

Hope now you have a clear understanding of the responsibilities of an Instrument engineer in any type of Industry.
