Course Description
Accurate flow measurement is essential to today's industries, oil & gas operations. Our Fiscal Metering Training Course aims to provide training to facility operators, technicians and engineers, which, once delivered, "keep on working".
Delegates are encouraged to raise queries both during and at any time after attending the course. Delegates are also encouraged to bring with them any issues that they may have to the course.
High quality multi-media is used to supplement traditional methods throughout the presentation, (based on our Interactive Training Software) which has proven to be more useful in explaining and understanding the topic than actually seeing a system in operation.
