ISA S51.1
Intermediate
Direct step-response testing of a first-order plus dead time (FOPDT) industrial process. Inspect rise time, overshoot percentage, settling time, and disturbance rejection.
Equation: u(t) = K_p e(t) + \frac{K_p}{T_i} \int_0^t e(\tau)d\tau + K_p T_d \frac{de(t)}{dt}
Standard: ISA S51.1 / IEC 61131-3 / NAMUR NE 43 (Industrial Process Automation & Control)

IEC 60534 / ISA-75.01
Intermediate
Sizes and models control valve throughput according to IEC 60534. Detects choked flow flashing and incipient cavitation thresholds (sigma_c), evaluating actuator stiction.
Equation: Q = C_v N_1 F_p \sqrt{\frac{\Delta P}{SG}}, \quad \sigma_c = \frac{P_1 - P_v}{\Delta P}

IEC 60381-1 / NAMUR NE 43
Fundamentals
Calculates the 4-20mA linear current representation of process variables. Inspects transmitter terminal compliance voltage, total loop resistance load lines, and burnout trip levels (3.6mA / 21.0mA).
Equation: I_{loop} = 4\text{mA} + 16\text{mA}\left(\frac{PV - LRV}{URV - LRV}\right), \quad V_{term} = V_s - I_{loop}(R_{wire} + R_{load})
Standard: IEC 60381-1 / NAMUR NE 43 / ISA-50.1 (Analogue Signals for Process Control Systems)

ISO 5167 / ASME MFC-3M
Intermediate
Solves Bernoulli continuity through orifice restrictions with discharge coefficient Cd calibration. Demonstrates dP square-root extraction, vena contracta expansion, and Reynolds number influences.
Equation: q_m = \frac{C_d}{\sqrt{1 - \beta^4}} \epsilon \frac{\pi}{4} d^2 \sqrt{2 \rho \Delta P}, \quad \beta = \frac{d}{D}
Standard: ISO 5167-2:2003 / ASME MFC-3M / AGA Report No. 3 (Measurement of Fluid Flow by Orifice Plates)
