Advanced Training

This is a full day program presented by Phil Harris, this advanced course is suited for students already having a basic understanding of sample conditioning systems and their use with process analyzers. This is a fast-moving course that explains many of the engineering procedures needed to design a gas or liquid sampling system for a process analyzer – all in about 7 hours of class time. The subjects to be covered include:

• Sources of time delay • How to calculate transport lag for liquid and gas samples
• How to evaluate a process tap location
• The advantages of using a sampling probe – or not
• Probe resonance calculations
• The ideal fluid velocity in sample lines
• Velocity and flow rate in complex sample lines
• Turbulence and pressure loss in complex sample lines
• How to determine friction factors
• How to optimize the sample line sizes
• Why partial pressure causes condensation
• How to calculate the amount of condensation
• Understanding the wet and dry basis of analysis
• How to decide the temperature of heated lines or cabinets
• How to solve the two big vaporizer problems
• Why a phase diagram is a useful tool
• The very strange consequence of allowing any condensation at all
