Valve Technician, Course 1404/CEUs: 2.8 Overview This 4-day course explains how valves and actuators function and how they are installed and calibrated. It emphasizes installation, troubleshooting, parts replacement, and calibration of control valves, actuators, and positioners. Students spend 50% of their time in hands-on workshops. Those who complete this course will be able to: • correctly perform installation procedures • perform basic troubleshooting •properly apply and calibrate positioners •change valve trim, gaskets and packing •properly perform valve lapping Course Dates February 26-29, 2008 and July 29-August 1, 2008 Price $2,000 USDL (Session #0104/0105)
Regulator Technician, Course 1101/CEUs: 2.1 Overview This 3-day course is designed primarily for technicians responsible for the installation and maintenance of regulators and relief valves. Emphasizing hands-on training, this course teaches students to install, troubleshoot, and adjust gas regulators and relief valves. Students who complete this course will be able to: • perform maintenance on regulators and relief valves • troubleshoot field problems Course Dates May 13-15, 2008 Price $1,700 USDL (Session #0046)
Instrument Technician, Course 1714/CEUs: 3.2 Overview This 4-1/2 day course covers the principles of operation, calibration and installation procedures for electronic and pneumatic instruments. Computer process simulations and live loops are used to demonstrate loop dynamics. Approximately 50% of this course consists of hands-on workshops. Students who complete this course will be able to: • calibrate a variety of pneumatic and electronic instruments • correctly perform installation procedures • perform basic troubleshooting, basic controller tuning, and positioner application Course Dates June 17-21, 2008 Price $2,000 USDL (Session #0049)
ValveLink and Diagnostics for FIELDVUE - Operations, Course 1756/CEUs: 1.4 Overview This 2-day lecture/lab style course provides maximum class time with hands-on experience working with FIELDVUE instrumentation and AMS ValveLink Diagnostic Software. Students will be able to execute ValveLink Diagnostic routines and create an instrument database. HART multiplexer technology will also be explored. This is a continuation course for course 1751, Fundamentals of FIELDVUE Digital Instruments and the 275/375 Handheld Communicator. Course Dates September 16-17, 2008 Price $1,250 USDL (Session #0027)
ValveLink & Diagnostics for FIELDVUE - Data, Course 1760/CEUs: 1.4 Overview This 2-day course uses classroom lectures and hands on workshops to teach the student to interpret and analyze diagnostic data obtained using FIELDVUE Digital Valve Controllers and AMS ValveLink software. Students will perform diagnostic tests on a variety of valve/actuator combinations and use the data to determine bench set, dynamic error band, seat load, spring rate and other pertinent parameters. Students will also perform comparison tests on valves/actuators containing assembly or operating flaws and use the data for troubleshooting purposes. Students who complete this course will be able to: • use/understand diagnostic terminology • interpret AMS ValveLink diagnostic traces and determine bench set, packing friction, seat load, spring rate, dynamic error band and a number of other common valve parameters • use diagnostic traces to troubleshoot problems in valve/actuator assemblies • use on-line Performance Diagnostics to troubleshoot and analyze friction and dead-band Course Dates September 18-19, 2008 Price $1,700 USDL (Session #0013) ;
