Why Choose This Course

The Gas Flow Measurement training course develops the technical understanding and practical capability required to select, apply, maintain and manage accurate gas metering systems. It provides instrumentation, measurement and process engineers with rigorous knowledge spanning fluid mechanics, natural gas properties and the principal metering system types. Participants examine calibration, troubleshooting and custody transfer instrumentation across the full range of gas flow measurement applications. This expertise supports dependable production accounting, custody transfer, process control and regulatory compliance throughout upstream, midstream and downstream gas operations.

The course progresses from flow-rate principles, units and sensor selection criteria to differential pressure, mechanical, electronic and mass flowmeters. It also covers custody transfer instruments, correction and calculation methods, precision standards and record-keeping requirements. Practical coverage of calibration, maintenance and troubleshooting is incorporated throughout, supporting accurate and confident application and management of measurement systems. Errors arising from unsuitable meter selection, poor calibration or inadequate maintenance translate directly into financial losses, compliance failures and unreliable process data.

This Gas Flow Measurement training course will highlight:

  • Fluid mechanics fundamentals, flow-rate concepts and measurement units
  • Natural gas properties and criteria for selecting sensors and meters
  • Differential pressure meters and mechanical metering systems
  • Electronic flowmeters and mass flowmeters
  • Calibration, maintenance and troubleshooting of gas measurement systems
  • Custody transfer instrumentation, calculation methods, precision standards and record keeping

Learning Approach

How will this Training Course be Presented?

The Gas Flow Measurement Course uses a technically organised, step-by-step learning methodology, progressing from gas flow physics and core measurement principles to metering system types, calibration, fault diagnosis, and custody transfer instrumentation. Every day focuses on a separate technical area of gas flow measurement, developing a complete and integrated understanding of the entire measurement system lifecycle.

Practical activities, including pressure drop calculations, comparisons of metering systems, calibration discussions, and troubleshooting scenarios, are incorporated throughout — enabling delegates to relate technical frameworks to the actual measurement challenges encountered within their operational environments.

Delivery approaches include:

  • Instructor-led sessions addressing fluid mechanics, natural gas characteristics, measurement principles, metering technologies, and custody transfer frameworks
  • Workshops on flow sensor selection and measurement concepts, applying selection criteria and uncertainty analysis to gas measurement scenarios
  • Sessions on differential pressure and mechanical metering, exploring Pitot tubes, variable area meters, PD meters, turbine meters, and calibration practices
  • Workshops on electronic and mass flowmeters, covering magnetic, vortex, ultrasonic, Coriolis, thermal, and hot-wire anemometer technologies
  • Sessions on custody transfer and record keeping, covering sampling, correction and calculation methods, precision standards, and reporting requirements
