COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art fiscal and custody transfer metering simulators. 

This course is designed to provide participants a detailed and up-to-date knowledge on fiscal and allocation metering. It covers the standard devices required for the metering system, types of sales contracts, international applied standards, CT practices, functions fiscal metering system, mutual performance expectations, OIML requirements for accuracy and proving and validation issues of fiscal and custody transfer. 

 

The course will also discuss the loss control and lease automatic custody transfer (LACT); the importance of representative fuel samples; applied accuracy terminology; control chart tool for performance monitoring and verification; fluid dynamics as the basics of flow measurements that may influence the accuracy of any flow measuring device; the parameters influencing the flow pattern; API gravity measurement and oil classification; the cavitation and flashing; the phenomena of choked flow; gas compressibility and the principles of gas chromatography.

 

At the completion of the course, participants will be able to employ heating value measuring methods; moisture and HC dew-point measurements; interpret standard measurement recommendations; describe flow metering that are applied based on other principles; illustrate fiscal gas metering station design; and employ flow calibration, metering prover systems, multiphase flow and water cut measurements.
