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.
Delegates attending the KELTON accredited online flow measurement training course can request a CPD Certificate of Attendance and record their attendance towards their formal CPD requirements for their professional body, institute or employer.
Online Flow Measurement Training Course Modules:
Module 1: Introduction to flow measurement
Module 2: Common considerations in hydrocarbon liquid and gas systems
Module 3a: Considerations in hydrocarbon liquid systems
Module 3b: Considerations in hydrocarbon gas systems
Module 4: Virtual tour of Euroloop Calibration Facilities
