Learning Instrumentation and Automatic Control from Scratch for Beginners
Thread Content
I have connections in my family, so I got a job at a design institute where I can work while learning; it’s a career change for me. I’ve been working there for almost two months now. Regarding instruments, things like instrument selection, material choice, installation methods, and the standards that need to be met – are there any systematic basic knowledge resources or ways to learn about this topic? Books, videos, documents – anything will do. Thank you all, guys! ! !
The information is not lacking; it’s just too much. Start by buying a \"Instrument Technician’s Manual\" to read, and for everything else, you’ll need to consult various standards
Thank you, sir. I bought the book in PDF format and took a look at it. It’s similar to the Petrochemical Automatic Control Design Manual I purchased earlier. I have some specific questions – for example, in the case of a bimetallic thermometer, threaded connection is used as the connection method. I want to know how this thread type was chosen; what other options are available? The casing material chosen is 304 stainless steel – why was 304 selected? It’s related to the properties of the material and the operating conditions. Is there any systematic information available for reference? Searching on Baidu yields too fragmented results, and it takes a lot of time to filter through them. I can ask the master, but he’s quite busy too; for such basic things, I want to try to figure them out on my own first
The form of the process interface is necessarily related to the process design, and in most cases it is determined by the process engineering team. For things like the selection of sleeve materials, it’s a good idea to take a closer look at the manufacturer’s samples; some provide recommendations, and you can also consult the manufacturer directly. If you want to learn knowledge about materials and similar topics in a systematic way, you can certainly read books on related subjects, but this will take time and effort. It can be used as a foundation for gradual learning, but if you want to apply this knowledge right away, Baidu is a faster option~
Thank you. I just want to build a solid foundation first; currently I find the tasks myself and then have my mentor review them. But many of my choices are made because I’m not aware of other options available or don’t understand the underlying principles. Right now I’m mainly dealing with technical modifications – basically copying what’s already there. It seems fine on the surface, but in reality there are tons of problems
My fate is quite similar to yours; I started working just one month ago. Looking for information
The data is not absent; it’s just too much
Please, master! I want to find a master to teach me
