The Gas Flow Measurement Course gives instrumentation, measurement, and process engineers a comprehensive, technically rigorous understanding of gas flow measurement covering fluid mechanics fundamentals, natural gas properties, metering system types, calibration, troubleshooting, and custody transfer instrumentation across the full spectrum of gas flow measurement applications.
Accurate gas flow measurement is critical to production accounting, custody transfer, process control, and regulatory compliance across upstream, midstream, and downstream gas operations. Measurement errors — whether from incorrect meter selection, poor calibration, or inadequate maintenance translate directly into financial losses, compliance failures, and unreliable process data.
This course addresses every dimension of gas flow measurement competence from flow rate concepts, units, and sensor selection criteria, through differential pressure meters, mechanical meters, electronic flowmeters, and mass flowmeters, to custody transfer instruments, correction and calculation methods, precision standards, and record keeping requirements. Practical calibration, maintenance, and troubleshooting content is integrated throughout.
The Gas Flow Measurement Course is built for instrumentation and measurement professionals who want the technical depth and practical capability to select, apply, maintain, and manage gas flow measurement systems with accuracy, confidence, and regulatory compliance.
The Gas Flow Measurement Course is designed to develop comprehensive gas flow measurement capability from fluid mechanics and natural gas properties through metering system selection, calibration, troubleshooting, and custody transfer management.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Common questions about our training courses
This course is designed for instrumentation engineers, measurement technicians, process engineers, custody transfer professionals, production engineers, and metering specialists who work with gas flow measurement systems across upstream, midstream, or downstream environments. It is suitable for both experienced measurement professionals looking to deepen and formalise their technical knowledge and those newer to gas metering who need a comprehensive, technically rigorous foundation across the full measurement workflow.
Flow sensor selection criteria are addressed on Day 1, and each subsequent day builds selection knowledge further — examining the operational characteristics, accuracy profiles, rangeability, and maintenance requirements of differential pressure meters, mechanical meters, electronic meters, and mass flowmeters. Delegates leave with a structured technology selection framework that enables them to evaluate metering options against specific application requirements including fluid type, flow range, accuracy requirement, and installation constraints.
Gas flowmeter troubleshooting is addressed within Day 4 covering the common performance problems encountered across different metering technologies and the diagnostic approaches used to identify measurement errors, mechanical faults, and signal processing issues. Delegates develop a structured troubleshooting methodology that enables faster, more accurate fault identification reducing the measurement downtime and accuracy losses that unresolved metering problems cause in operational gas measurement systems.
Day 2 covers natural gas properties and measurement fundamentals in full — including the physical and chemical properties that affect gas measurement accuracy, standard and normal volume concepts, design criteria and regulatory requirements, and the measurement uncertainty considerations that must be managed in any gas metering application. Delegates develop a clear understanding of why gas properties must be characterised accurately before a measurement system can be designed and calibrated to the required standard.
Day 4 covers electronic and mass flowmeters in depth — including magnetic flowmeters, vortex flowmeters, ultrasonic flowmeters, Coriolis mass flowmeters, thermal mass flowmeters, and hot-wire anemometers. Each technology is examined in terms of its operating principle, application suitability, accuracy characteristics, installation requirements, and maintenance considerations — giving delegates the technical knowledge to evaluate, specify, and maintain these meter types across a wide range of gas measurement applications.
Day 5 dedicates full focus to custody transfer instruments covering sampling and analysis requirements, correction and calculation methods, calibration frequency standards, precision requirements, and pressure, density, and level instrumentation. Delegates develop the understanding that custody transfer measurement is the point where gas volumes are commercially exchanged and that the accuracy, documentation, and compliance disciplines required at custody transfer points are among the most demanding in any gas measurement application.
