Overview
This course provides focused training in commercially reliable flow metering and calibration. It addresses practical requirements encountered in custody transfer stations and petroleum product measurement systems. Participants explore the technical principles behind reliable decision-making and day-to-day execution. The learning experience uses relevant field examples, guided exercises and technical discussions. The program is intended for engineers, technical specialists, supervisors and related operational personnel. Content depth, case studies and delivery methods can be adapted to the client’s equipment, priorities and participant experience.
