October 2013 News

ABB South Africa is offering an Industrial Flow Measurement Seminar with renowned flow expert David W Spitzer. The goal of the course is to present the principles, design and application of flow measurement systems. Fluid flow fundamentals are emphasised before discussing flow measurement accuracy, performance, technology, specification, installation and maintenance.

This course is aimed at individuals who want to become more productive through improvement of their flow measurement skills i.e. technicians, engineers, managers, sales persons, marketers, purchasing agents, accountants, lawyers and others involved with flow measurement and its associated equipment.

David, an ISA Life Fellow and Professional Engineer, authored over 10 books including the seminar text ‘Industrial Flow Measurement’. This three-day seminar will enable students to:

* Understand the effects of physical properties and hydraulics on flow measurement systems.

* Evaluate flowmeter performance statements.

* Describe the operation of different flowmeter technologies.

* Understand flowmeter calibration techniques.

* Perform gas flow compensation calculations.

* Select and specify the components in flow measurement systems.

* Understand the principles of flowmeter installation.

* Understand maintenance and calibration requirements for different flowmeter technologies.

Topics which will be covered in the course:

* Physical properties.

* Performance measures.

* Linearisation, compensation, tantalisation.

* Flowmeter calibration.

* Flowmeter technology – differential pressure, magnetic, mass, open channel, oscillatory, positive displacement, target, thermal, turbine, ultrasonic, variable area, correlation, insertion, bypass.

* Flowmeter selection.

The course will be hosted at the ABB Campus, in Johannesburg from 21-23 October. The enrollment fee is: R7 995.00 (excl VAT).
