Types of instruments used in Oil & Gas

- 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.)
- Transducer – (converts variations in temperature, pressure, flow or level into an electric signal that is then
picked up by a transmitter.)
- Transmitter – (serves 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.)

2. Types of Conduits.
- EMT Conduit – Used inside the building.
- PVC Conduit – used inside the wall.
- PVC Coated Conduit – used outdoor in severe corrosive environment.

3. Types of Cable Tray.

- Ladder type cable tray.
- Channel type cable tray.
- Perforated type cable tray.

4. Types of cables.
- Power cable (single core, multi-core)
- Control cable (single core, multi-core)
- Instrument cable ( twisted pair cable, twisted triad cable)
- Armored cable, unarmored cable.
- Shielded cable, unshielded cable.

5. Types of enclosure.
- G.I Steel Enclosure (Square box) for indoor and wall encased.
- Weather proof enclosure –(Nema-3R)
- Powder coated enclosure/ SS 316 enclosure – for outdoor.(IP-54,IP66 Nema-4, Nema-4X)
- Explosion Proof enclosure –for explosive environment ( NEMA -7)
- Terminal Box- Normal Enclosure with terminal blocks for wire/cable termination.

6. What is Impulse tubing?

- Impulse tubing is a small bore pipe that is used to connect a point in a pipe at which a process variable is to be
measured by an instrument. For example, in flow measurement impulse lines are used to connect points
upstream and downstream of the meter.

7. ITP- Inspection Test Plan.

- It is a document that details a systematic approach to testing a system.
