Neal Systems offers instrumentation and control training using both a classroom and demo room environment. Suitable for junior engineers, maintenance technicians, field service personnel, design and control engineers and calibration techs, our courses are designed and taught by degreed engineers, all with over 30 years of experience.
[ps2id id=’TCGLDP’ target=”/]Toxic and Combustible Gas Leak Detection Practices
Personnel involved in the maintenance and operation of manufacturing facilities where toxic and combustible gases are processed and handled are at constant risk of experiencing health issues; injury; property loss or damage; or – at worst – fatality, should such gases ever leak. It is therefore vital for facility operators to adopt gas leak safety practices to help ensure the health and well-being of facility personnel and the physical environment in which they spend their working day.
Available in ½, Single, or Two Day Sessions, this course is designed to educate technicians and engineers on general toxic and combustible gas leak monitoring and detection practices. Strategies for implementing gas leak monitoring and detection systems, as well as suggested protocols personnel should observe when working in areas where toxic or combustible gas leak occurrence is a strong possibility shall be covered. Options for gas leak detection instrumentation and systems will be discussed, along with basic theories and principles explaining how such equipment works. The configuration and maintenance of a facility’s gas leak detection infrastructure will be discussed within the context of keeping people and property protected and safe.

[ps2id id=’iTools’ target=”/]iTools training
This course will introduce attendees to the Eurotherm programming package, iTools. iTools is used for all Eurotherm controller products e.g. Nanodac, EPC3000, Mini8, 3504, 3508, EPack and EPower.
At the end of a half day, attendees will be able to connect to an instrument and save / download a file, make minor changes, set-up a profile, and monitor a live program. The second half day will cover PID control, totalizers, math functions, recipes, and communications.
