DESCRIPTION:
This course presents the principles, design and application of flow measurement systems. Fluid flow fundamentals are emphasized before discussing the principle of operation, accuracy, performance, specification, installation and maintenance of the different flowmeter technologies.
AFTER THE COURSE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO:
- Describe principles of operation of different flowmeter technologies
- Design a system to make practical and precise industrial flow measurements
- Calculate the effects of fluid properties on flowmeter performance
- Evaluate flowmeter performance statements and compare them with application requirements
- Specify and select the appropriate flowmeters for different applications
- Create installation detail drawings to obtain flowmeter accuracy and performance
- Identify requirements for flowmeter calibration
- Solve typical flow measurement problems
- Perform flowmeter compensation and totalization calculations
- Plan maintenance activities required by different flowmeter technologies
- Understand flow and related phenomena (piping hydraulics, Reynolds Number, cavitation, etc.)
- Size flow elements for specific applications
