There are two types of instrumentation used in equipment monitoring: input and output. Input instruments are used to monitor or measure temperature, flow, pressure and levels in equipment including transport pipes and vessels. Output instruments, on the other hand, include controls and alarms that display readings or provide an alert to warn of potentially hazardous situations.
The three primary components of industrial instrumentation are sensors, transducers and transmitters.
  • Sensors:  measure the physical properties of a solid, fluid or gas. In the oil and gas industry, sensors provide continuous measurement to detect and monitor gas and gas emissions.
  • Transducers: convert variations in temperature, pressure, flow or level into an electric signal that is then picked up by a transmitter.
  • Transmitters: serve as an interface between sensors and measurement instrumentation such as level sensors, flow meters, and pressure sensors. This equipment is responsible for sending a digital signal to the main control system.

Oil & Gas Instrumentation for Improved Safety and Compliance

The oil and gas industries process a variety of hazardous substances that can cause explosions or catastrophic events and endanger the safety of humans and the environment. Field instrumentation provides monitoring and control that is essential for ensuring compliance with safety and environmental regulations. When integrated into automation systems, petrochemical processing equipment also helps manufacturers increase productivity and product consistency by delivering data regarding process efficiency and product quality.

Considerations for Selecting Oil and Gas Instrumentation

It is important to consider the following criteria when researching options for oil and gas instrumentation:
  • Operating conditions: The environmental conditions of your operating environment are a critical consideration in selecting processing instruments. Exposure to extreme heat and chemicals or other caustic substances can damage sensors or impact the reliability of the readings.
  • Performance Characteristics: Different applications have different requirements for sensitivity, sensor reading range and accuracy, screen type and resolution, and general performance.
  • Maintenance Requirements: Field instrumentation requires regular maintenance, including calibration, to ensure accuracy reliability. Choose instruments that are easy to maintain and are from a company that provides onsite maintenance services when required.
  • Reliability & Durability: Processing instrumentation should be durable enough to withstand your operating conditions and frequency of use.
  • Impact on Processes: Determine if and how the type of oil and gas instrumentation you select will impact flow control or equipment processes.
