Details
Who Should Attend?
The course is intended for practicing instrumentation, chemical, or process engineers and measurement superintendents and technicians involved with the design or operation of custody transfer systems, or the design companies that support them.
- Examines the different types of custody transfer
- Conducts a thorough review of both flow and level measurement
- Examines the difference between calibration and proving
- Examines methods to prove flow and level measurement systems
- Examines potential problems with proving systems
- Discusses various industry and international standards.
- A thorough understanding of the basics of custody transfer
- An understanding about how measurement systems can not work properly
- The ability to determine if a metering system is adequate for the purpose
-
The ability to report to management on the status of the custody transfer systems in place
