I to P and P to I Trainer

Overview of I to P and P to I Trainer

The I to P and P to I Trainer is a specialized process control educational setup designed to demonstrate the working principles of current-to-pressure (I/P) and pressure-to-current (P/I) converters. This trainer helps students understand how electrical signals are converted into pneumatic signals and vice versa — a fundamental concept in industrial automation and control systems.

Built for Engineering Colleges, ITIs, and Research Institutes, the I to P and P to I converter trainer provides practical exposure to real-time industrial instrumentation. It is ideal for training in process control, instrumentation, and automation labs, offering hands-on experience with transducers, signal conversion, and calibration techniques.

Product Description – I/P and P/I Converter Trainer Kit

This I to P and P to I trainer kit consists of a compact and durable setup mounted on a powder-coated frame. It includes an I/P converter, P/I converter, air regulator, pressure gauges, current source, and measuring instruments to study signal conversion characteristics.

The current-to-pressure converter educational setup allows users to input a standard 4–20 mA signal, which is converted to a proportional pneumatic output (3–15 psi). Conversely, the pressure-to-current trainer converts pneumatic input pressure into a proportional electrical current signal. This dual-mode operation provides complete insight into signal transmission and feedback control in industrial automation systems.

This process control instrumentation trainer kit is designed for ease of use, safety, and repeatability, enabling students to conduct experiments on signal calibration, linearity, and system response.
