 What are types of temperature measurement devices?

RTD & Thermocouple

 What is selection criteria for RTD and Thermocouple

RTD low Temp & Thermocouple High Temp

 How PT-100 RTD is connected to Control System

2-Wire, 3-Wire & 4-Wire

 What is benefit for 3-wire RTD over 2-wire RTD

Resistance of cable is compensated by RTD bridge circuit in 3-wire RTD.

 What are the types of flow measurements used in process industry

 What is the difference in volumetric flow measurement and mass flow measurement

 What are the types of Level measuring instruments

 How to connect Pressure instrument for level measurement in a closed vessel

A DP transmitter should be used with High pressure let connected to bottom and low pressure leg
connected to top

 How to calibrate the above Level instrument

By pressure calibrator and applying Specific gravity equation

 What are the properties you need to give to vendor in order to select displacer for interface
level measurement

SG of both fluids

 Explain orifice metering

 What is AGA-3

This is standard for orifice based flow calculation

 Why use AGA-3 for orifice metering

 What instrument is used for flow calculation with orifice metering

Flow Computer, differential pressure transmitter, pressure transmitter and temperature
transmitter

 Have you worked with any flow computer

 What are the types of Chromatograph used in gas industry

C6+ and C9+

 Why do we use Chromatograph in fiscal metering

To find Mole percentages pf each component in gas. This is an input to AGA-8 for calculation of
compressibility/super compressibility.

 What is HART communicator.

This is a device to configure HART compatible devices

 What is meant by HART

Highway Addressable Remote Transducer

 What is the difference between DCS or ESD

DCS is used for control of process and ESD is used for shutdown if hazardous condition exists.

 What is SIL level

SIL is Safety Integrity Level. This is a number ranging form 1-4. It represents lower probability of failure
on demand from lower to higher number.

 What is SIF

SIF is a complete loop representing a sensor, controller and final element

 How SIL level is determined

SIL is level is determined by resk assessment by one of the many methods stated in IEC-61508/61511

 What is LOPA

LOPA is a method of SIL level determination. (Layer of Protection Analysis)

 Is SIL-4 used in industry

No SIL-4 is not used in process/gas industry

 How Controller redundancy works

Duel redundancy / Triple redundancy. Active-Standby, Parallel operation.

 How power supply redundancy works in a DCS/ESD

Through Oring Diodes
