Training laboratories are organized in educational institutions and advanced training centers to increase the level of knowledge of specialists and gain practical skills in working with industrial equipment (in addition to theoretical classes). Depending on the specifics of the curriculum, the laboratory may include test benches and sets of equipment for studying measurement methods and measuring equipment for one or more physical quantities.
The proposed benches serve to organize an effective training process. Metran training benches enable to perform a variety of laboratory work, for example, studying the following:
- devices, operations and settings of a wide range of instrumentation and control equipment;
- wireless technologies, device features, operation and settings;
- devices for diagnostics and configuration of intelligent devices supporting digital protocols (HART and FOUNDATION Fieldbus);
- control network settings;
- standards and their application for verification (calibration);
- industrial equipment troubleshooting methods
To order a training laboratory, it is necessary to compile a list of necessary test benches or laboratory work for the organization of the training process and send a request to the customer support center.
The possibility of supplying turnkey educational laboratories:
- selection of complete sets of training test benches for performing training tasks and the volume of laboratory work (a workplace with the required degree of automation and functionality, methodological manuals (sensors and equipment samples, posters and tablets (3d models and cross-sections of transmitters)), test and reference equipment, other options);
- a list of recommendations and requirements for premises and utilities, development of room layout;
- methodological manuals / description of laboratory work that can be performed at the training test benches;
- on request, our specialists carry out installation and commissioning of test benches, as well as training and briefings for teachers.
The choice of equipment for training benches and equipment sets depends on the training goals and objectives, the topic and scope of laboratory work (determined in consultation with the educational institution). Universal test benches, combining the functionality of two or more test benches can be manufactured.
- Bench for studying pressure, vacuum, pressure-vacuum devices (studying the device, the principle of operation of pressure gauges, pressure gauges, vacuum meters, etc., methods and equipment for their verification).
- Bench for studying pressure, vacuum, pressure-vacuum devices (studying the device, the principle of operation of pressure transmitters with various sensitive elements with unified or digital output signals, methods and equipment for their adjustment and verification).
- Bench for studying temperature measuring devices (studying the device and principle of operation of temperature converters with unified and digital output signals; features of nominal static characteristics temperature transmitters with natural output signals, methods and equipment of setting and verification of temperature transmitters).
- Bench for the study of functional and secondary equipment (study of the device, principle of operation, methods of setting up and verification of secondary devices, measuring (normalizing) transmitters and functional equipment).
- Bench for examination of controllers and mechanical systems (examination of methods of configuration and logic programing of systems for collection, processing and transmission of data from field instruments).
- Bench for studying level and volume measuring devices (studying the device and principle of operation, setting up and configuring radar, waveguide level meters, level detectors).
- Bench for studying flow meters (studying flow meters of various operating principles and their devices, setting up and configuring flow meters, flow calculators).
- Bench for the study of regulating and shut-off equipment (study of the device and principle of operation of valves, adjustment and regulation of the working position of the valve)
- Bench for studying instruments for geometric measurements (studying the device of measuring instruments of lengths, angles, diameters).
- Simulator stands simulating the operation of existing units (studying the operation of the technological process, setting up, troubleshooting various malfunctions)
Workplaces for the teachers of the educational laboratory can be delivered with equipment for organizing the training process (interactive whiteboards, multimedia projector, computer, etc.)
