Flow Process Training System

The self-contained unit can do many experiments, but it can also connect to other products in the range for extra experiments. For cascade control of flow and pressure, it can link to the optional Pressure Process Training System. The Flow Process Training System is a compact and mobile unit for a wide range of experiments in flow control. It gives students a greater understanding of the stability of simple control systems. For distributed control, it can connect to the optional Computer Control System. For cascade control of flow and level, it can link to the optional Level Process Training System.

The main parts are:
A gap-type (rotameter) flow meter
Fixed orifice and pressure transmitter
Industrial controller with auto-tune feature
Two-channel chart recorder
Three-speed pump
Pneumatic control valve
Reservoir.

Experiments:
The principles of loop control and the calibration and tuning of controllers, transmitters, converters and valves
Proportional, integral and derivative control
Cascade control of pressure and flow, and level and flow 
Setting up and demonstrating automatic control
Quadratic flow laws and square root extraction
Calibration of an orifice flow meter with a differential pressure transmitter.
