This document compares different PID controller tuning methods for first-order and second-order unstable processes with dead time (FOUPDT and SOUPDT). It analyzes the Ziegler-Nichols, C.T. Huang and Y.S. Lin, Shamsuzzoha and Lee, and Q. Wang et al. tuning methods for FOUPDT processes, finding that the Shamsuzzoha and Lee method provides the best response with minimum IAE, ISE, and ITAE. For SOUPDT processes, it analyzes the Ziegler-Nichols, Tayrus and Luyben, C.T. Huang and Y.S. Lin, and P
