Proper instrument installation per ISA and PIP standards. Covers impulse line routing, tubing and fittings, thermowell installation, grounding, lightning protection, and commissioning best practices for reliable measurement.
I&E work lives in the gap between a DCS number and a valve that did not move. For Instrument Installation Practices & Best Practices, do not trust the faceplate until you have a meter in the loop or a gauge on the air. 4-20 mA, HART, positioner air, and process taps fail in different ways. Fail-low at 3.8 mA is a story. A plugged impulse line is a different story.
The useful version of Instrument Installation Practices & Best Practices is the version you can run on nights without a specialist on the radio.

Covers impulse line routing, tubing and fittings, thermowell installation, grounding, lightning protection, and commissioning best practices for reliable measurement. Keep the as-found.

ForgeLine Academy currently lists 78 industrial maintenance courses. 44 of those are free (Mechanical and Electrical). Premium unlocks I&E (18) and Engineering (16). That is the whole catalog — not a 22-course teaser and not a four-hour overview of the plant. Call +1 580 421 5714 or email support@forgelineacademy.com for plant cohorts and on-site classes.
Instrument Installation Practices & Best Practices is one course in that 78-course ladder. Mechanical and Electrical remain free. I&E and Engineering are premium. On-site and plant cohorts are scheduled through on-site training or plant support.
Training is educational. It does not replace your site's lockout/tagout, permits, PPE, or required licenses. Certificates of completion go in the file. They are not a license.
