What are the terminologies used in instrumentation and control in the oil industry?

Would love to know all the technical terms used in instrumentation and control as it applies to the oil industryWhat are the terminologies used in instrumentation and control in the oil industry?
It is no different from any other industry that uses automatic control. They follow ISA standards and practices.What are the terminologies used in instrumentation and control in the oil industry?
Depends on what instrumentation and control you're talking about.


The main instrumentations are control valves like for temperature, pressure, flow, analyzers with the short form being TCV,PCV,FCV and ACV respectively.


You also have isolation valves for tight open and close.


Car seal open and close valves, which are locked open or closed.


Other instrumentation would include pressure gauges, temperature transmitters, orifice plates and so forth
i work at an oil company ..


all we ever do is measure the pressure ..


so that would be PSI


and velocity too which is in ft/sec


also we have viscosity which is Reynolds number


that all for us ..


but every company is different
