All courses are taught by qualified professionals from the
CEESI staff and special guest lecturers from the various flow measurement
industries. Students find a unique opportunity to interact with individuals from a cross-section
of the industry including natural gas, petroleum, automotive, aerospace, health care, process
control, power and utilities, and the petrochemical fields.
This course is designed for:
- Senior Technicians
- Engineers
Topics covered include:
- measurement principles
- fluid properties & flow phenomena
- traceability & uncertainty
- primary and secondary calibration
- meter design & selection
- differential producers
- turbine meters
- vortex meters
- magnetic meters
- Coriolis mass meters
- critical flow
- ultrasonic meters
- troubleshooting of measurement equipment
- sampling system design
- prover design & applications
- installation effects
- ANSI/ISO flow standards
Several subjects are presented in a general way because they apply to a range of hardware, these include:
- Mass flow vs. volume flow
- Reynolds number
- Velocity profile
- Measurement uncertainty
- State equations
The differences between the Fundamental Flow Measurement and Comprehensive courses include:
- The courses overlap by about 10%-20% of the material. A student that signs up for both will be prepared for the second week after completing the first. There will be some repetition that serves as a review but much of the second week's material will be new.
- Both courses will cover the same hardware, much greater detail is provided in the comprehensive course.
- The fundamentals course includes a review of basic flow phenomena, the comprehensive course assumes this knowledge
- A basic background in algebra, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics is helpful for the comprehensive course. This background is not required for the fundamentals course.
- The comprehensive course will include development of working equations for some of the flowmeter types, equations are generally avoided in the fundamentals course.
- The behavior of a particular meter technology is presented in a very general way in the fundamentals course. In the comprehensive course, the underlying physics are explored.
- The fundamentals course includes more meter selection and meter comparison material.
