Flow Measurement Training Class Gas
Next class: November 8-10, 2010; Call 480.948.3789 for information, or download and submit registration form
Class includes a thorough overview of flow meter selection, with advantages and disadvantages of each, as well as, guidelines for use. Methods and equipment necessary for accurate calibration are discussed in detail.
Course Objectives:
After completing this course, each student will understand the optimum selection and use of gas flow meters. In addition, students will understand Gas Law calculations and how they apply to gas flow measurements. Each student will also know how to calibrate gas flow meters using primary and secondary flow standards.
Prerequisites:
There are no prerequisites for this course. However, personnel with some flow measurement experience will benefit the most. We strongly recommend that people with little or no experience in flow measurement take the liquid flow course first before taking the gas flow course. Each student must bring a pocket calculator and be prepared to work practice problems during the class.
