Is there a nccer instrumentation practice test?

Answer 1

it covers basic safety and handtool knowledge, how to layout and install pipe and tubing, terminations and shielding/grounding for instrumentation, valves, relays, actuators, Metallurgy, drawings and documents, gaskets and packing, lubcricants and cleaners, types of tubing, hoses, secondary elements controllers, detectors, switches and photoelectric devies, regulators, dryers, analyzers monitors, raceways, panel mounting, cleaning and testing said cleanliness in instrument systems, instrument fitters math (which includes some trig) etc... a lot of stuff you don't need to know to fabricate bend and install tubing along with the appropriate supports but if you want the money, well you know.

Some specific questions it asks..... 1-What color tie wrap do you use outside- black.

2- Why can you use white tie wraps inside? They are not UV resistant therefore cannot be used outside.

3- How much do you subtract from your measurement on 1/2 inch tubing when bending a 90? 11/16"

4- About 10 questions about parts of a pipe threader- ie chuck, jaws, on/off switch etc.

5- How do you identify instrument air on a set of prints? line with small lines across it like a single railroad track showing cross ties.

6- A few questions about stroking a valve ie- 1-12 = 0-100% 50% open is 6, 75% open is 9

7-Identifying types of valves on drawings

I had not been in a plant in 17 years. I had 10 years experience as a boilermaker, pipefitter and welder. I had welded for an instrumentation and electrical company. I had never worked as an instrument fitter before and I passed the test. If you have industrial experience and remember the questions I just gave you you have a good chance of passing. Brush up on reading drawings and identify parts of a pipe threader. Remember the tie wraps and the deduction when bending a 1/2" 90. You just might pass it too.

Answer 2

Can you seand me a practice test for instrumentation

Answer 3

Read your manuals, bend different tubing applications, be able to shoot a complete loop, bring a scientific calculator

Answer 4

yes i do
