Custody Measurement, Fiscal Flow Metering, Meter Calibration, Uncertainty Calculations and Loss Control
Electrical & Power Engineering · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900
Overview
This intensive training course covers the concept of custody transfer, fiscal flow metering, meter calibration, uncertainty calculations and loss control of petroleum products. It is divided into 5 modules: Module 1: Accuracy & Process Measurement This module covers basic definitions, such as viscosity, repeatability, cavitation etc.; flow profiles and the effects on measurement; volumetric and mass flow rate. Accuracy is important in terms of uncertainty of measurement; calibration; technical specifications and process requirements.
