Pneumatics

Although modern process control is becoming increasingly digital, pneumatics still plays a crucial role in industry. Many control valves and valve positioners are still pneumatically actuated, and in some plants, the entire measurement and control system still operates on pneumatic systems. Dosign Academy’s Pneumatics training course provides a solid foundation for understanding, operating and interpreting pneumatic instruments and systems.

Course programmes

During this training course, you will be introduced to the principles behind pneumatic measurement and control equipment. You will learn how different transmitters, controllers and mechanical components function, and how these relate to modern process control. By developing insight into mechanical principles and force-balance mechanisms, you will gain a better understanding of how pneumatic systems operate. This knowledge can be applied directly to both older and more modern installations.

Programme and Learning Objectives of Our Pneumatics Training Course

During the Pneumatics training course, we cover topics including:

  • Mechanical measuring instruments
  • Filter regulators
  • Force balance in pneumatic systems
  • The transmitter
  • The pneumatic transmitter
  • A flapper-nozzle system
  • A pneumatic relay
  • Force-balance principles
  • Foxboro Model 13A Differential Pressure Transmitter
  • Pneumatic controllers
  • Reversing the control action
  • Setting the gain
  • Controller output in manual or automatic mode
  • Foxboro Models 43AP
  • 43AP references
  • Foxboro Model 130

After completing the training course, you will understand how pneumatic systems are built, how to operate them and what to look out for during diagnosis, maintenance and optimisation.

Target audience

Who is this Pneumatics training course for?

This training course is suitable for anyone who works with pneumatic systems, including operators, instrumentation technicians, measurement and control technicians, early-career engineers and professionals who want to strengthen their foundational knowledge. The training provides valuable insight for anyone working with process installations in which pneumatics still plays a role.

Signal Processing & Fourier Analysis: From raw measurement data to reliable technical decisions

Technical Modules 11 half-day session Rotterdam

In modern technical systems, measurement data is everywhere. Sensors continuously measure vibration, pressure, temperature, flow and electrical signals. In practice, this data is rarely clean. Noise, disturbances and unstable behaviour make it difficult to determine what a system is actually doing. Signal processing is the discipline that enables engineers to solve this problem.
