Course Introduction

This Gas Flow Measurement training course introduces the core principles of gas flow measurement, focusing on how to sample, analyze, and obtain precise measurements. Even a small error in gas flow measurements, especially during the transfer from supplier to customer, can lead to significant financial losses, potentially amounting to millions of dollars annually.

Gas flow measurement is essential for inventory tracking, process plant mass balances, loss prevention, and regulatory and fiscal reporting. Accurate measurements are critical throughout the entire process, from production to consumption. Both accuracy and precision are vital, especially when fiscal customs duties are involved. Proper selection, installation, calibration, operation, inspection, and maintenance of measurement equipment are necessary, while the results must be processed and recorded accurately.

This course will emphasize the importance of clear and detailed specifications to properly specify, acquire, operate, and troubleshoot measurement instruments. It will also cover how to meet both company needs and regulatory requirements.

This Gas Flow Measurement training course will feature:

  • Design criteria and importance of accuracy in gas quantity and quality measurements
  • Basics of measurement uncertainty
  • Measurement concepts and types of error
  • Basic concepts, principles of operation and equipment used for typical liquid/gas metering systems, meter proving, sampling and analysis
  • Typical operations, control functions and record keeping requirements for crude liquid/gas metering systems

Training Objectives

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Specify, select and procure the right type of flow measuring device for the intended application
  • Learn the theory behind a variety of gas flow measuring devices
  • Appreciate the inner workings of gas flow measurement devices as well as how to maintain and troubleshoot them
  • Understand issues related to reliability, reproducibility and measurement accuracy
  • Understand the legal and commercial requirements for liquid/gas metering

Training Methodology

This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes interactive sessions with questions, discussions and problem solving under supervision along with syndicate exercises. It will be conducted as an interactive workshop that encourages participants to share their own experiences and apply the programme material to real-life situations.

The training course will be reinforced by a learning mix that includes, lecture style presentation, short videos, open discussion, case studies, simulations and syndicate exercises.
