The objective of this course is to provide delegates with a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the principles and practical aspects of multiphase flow metering. The course will commence by introducing various types of single-phase flow meters currently in use. Subsequently, the focus will shift to multiphase flows, exploring the applications of both single-phase and multiphase flow meters for measuring multiphase flows. The course will delve into the operational constraints, performance characteristics, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of these flow meters within the industrial context.

Course Objectives:

Upon the successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:-

Choose the correct flowmeter or combination of flowmeters for a particular multiphase application and be able to resolve any ensuing problems in relation to the unreliability and inaccuracy of flowmeter readings
Understand the various types of single-phase flowmeters such as differential pressure, displacement, rotary inferential, fluid oscillatory, electromagnetic, ultrasonic, and Coriolis mass flowmeters and be able to explain their features, functions, and practical applications
