Introduction

Fiscal and custody transfer systems play a key role in the hydrocarbon industry as they have a direct impact on the revenue stream and profitability. A small error due to the applied methods and measurement may cost the buyer or the seller millions of dollars.

KELTON, in conjunction with Euroloop Calibration, offers an online flow measurement training course for hydrocarbon liquid and gas, the instrumentation involved and a virtual tour of Euroloop's leading calibration facility.

Delivered across a series of online modules and led by our flow measurement training experts, the course will benefit delegates with little knowledge of flow measurement as well as experienced instrument and metering engineers.

This course is a modularised, online version of the standard 3-day flow measurement training course.

CPD Accreditation

Online Flow Measurement Training Course Modules:

Learning Outcomes

Each delegate will achieve a detailed understanding of the following theoretical aspects;

• The legal and commercial requirements for hydrocarbon liquid/gas metering
• Appreciate design criteria and importance of accuracy in quantity and quality measurements
• Basics of measurement uncertainty
• Measurement concepts and types of error
• The concepts, principles of operation and equipment used for typical liquid/gas metering systems, gas chromatographs, meter proving, sampling and analysis
• The concepts, principle of operation and hardware used for typical flow computers, prover control microcomputers and supervisory systems
• Typical operations, control functions and record keeping requirements for hydrocarbon liquid/gas metering systems

In addition, each delegate will be able to attend a virtual tour of Euroloop Calibration's facility to gain an understanding of the calibration process and how a world leading calibration facility operates.

Each delegate will be issued with a certificate of attendance on completion of the course.
