Metering Stations: Operation & Maintenance

Overview

Introduction

This course provides a complete understanding of metering station operations, measurement principles, calibration, performance verification, and troubleshooting. Participants learn how custody-transfer accuracy is ensured using standards, flow meters, sampling systems, and data validation. The training explains practical operation issues, meter factor management, and instrumentation diagnostics. Real field scenarios help operators maintain reliable, safe, and compliant metering systems.
