Description
The Pressure Process Control course offers students’ virtual training in the measurement and control of pressure processes. Students raise and lower air pressure to preset levels using manual control and auto-tuning methods. Students learn how the E/P converter with the control valve affects a preset pressure in the air tank. They create variable demand and supply disturbances by manipulating the panel’s valves.
