Overview

Flow measurement is an important aspect of business for processing units and factories that require bulk raw materials in the form of fuel. Such sectors need to accurately measure the raw materials which they pay for, and the finished goods they produce and get paid for. This measurement is conducted by a process called flow measurement and the accuracy of this procedure greatly determines the fortunes of companies, since even a tiny error can result in losses of millions of dollars.

Custody transfer is defined as the exact commercial transaction that occurs when a change in ownership of fluids takes place. This highly specialized form of metering requires exceptional accuracy, repeatability, and auditable values and is performed by highly engineered flow measurement systems for the intended application.

The aim of this course is to familiarize you with the problems and solutions associated with flow measurement and custody transfer. You will learn about a variety of flow measurement technologies and systems and custody transfer applications, fluid laws, quality systems and about devices for automating the measurements. This course is extremely relevant at this time when fuel prices are rising, CO2 trading is emerging, and global awareness about greenhouse emissions is spreading.

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
