2008 NIST Seminars
N02 - NIST Fluid Flow Measurement

Disneyland Hotel
Anaheim, CA


March 10-11, 2008
Sponsors:
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Measurement Science Conference.
Audience:
Government & Industry Laboratory Metrologists & Technicians.
Format:
2-day Technical Training Sessions.
Purpose:
NIST Training for Metrology Professionals.
Topics:

This seminar will present the basic concepts of flow measurement for liquids and gases. The focus will be on practical metering aspects with emphasis on how to make satisfactory fluid quantity and flow rate measurements. It will cover flow measurement terminology and standards, basic metering principles and descriptions, and practical examples and applications. Wide ranges of fluid conditions and flow metering situations and techniques will be described and discussed with results of specific applications. Special emphasis is made for meters installed where flow meter installation conditions are "non-ideal". Additionally, flow meter calibration concepts and techniques - especially the practical aspects - will be presented so that flow meter users are informed and knowledgeable about how to establish and maintain satisfactory systems for fluid quantity and flow rate measurement. The flow laboratory accreditation process and procedures will also be presented so that the advantages of this important aspect of flow measurement are understood, with the many benefits as well as the associated efforts and costs.
