Training Flowmetering And Custody Transfer

Training Flowmetering And Custody Transfer

Training The Principles Of Flow Measuring Techniques

Training Apply Principles And Methods For Flow Measurements

TRAINING INTRODUCTION :

This course deals with the entire range of flow related instruments (especially in legal metrology) and renders a systematic approach in measurement, calibration, typical errors in measurement and their estimation. Flow metering technologies for custody transfer purposes that cover obstruction method (orifice, coriolis, positive displacement meter, venturi, vortex, v-cone, turbine, etc) and non-obstructions method includes ultrasonic and magnetic flowmeter will be discovered. Additionally, the course explains the calibration methods, uncertainty analysis, and certification of the related instruments for custody transfer application. This course covers topics including the flow metering and its conformity with API or AGA practical guides, ISO standard, ASME and OIML recommendations.
