ULTRASONIC GAS FLOW METER

Training Syllabus:
ULTRASONIC GAS FLOW METER

INTRODUCTION :
Although the ultrasonic meter has already been patented in 1928, its accuracy was very poor due to insufficient electronic and signal processing technology at that time. Digital signal processing has rapidly developed over the past 30 years which is a result of the significant advances in digital computer technology and integrated-circuit fabrication. This rapid development on digital electronic has brought significant improvement on the accuracy of ultrasonic transit time gas flowmeter. This type of meter is commercially used for gas custody transfer application on 1994.
The American Gas Association (AGA) has issued a report on measurement of gas by multi-path ultrasonic meters. The report provides performance-based specifications and recommended practices for industrial use of ultrasonic metering.
In Indonesia, MIGAS approved the ultrasonic meter for custody transfer application in 1998. On January 30, 2001 the first multipath ultrasonic gas metering system in Indonesia was officially in operation as allocation meter at Anoa EGP project in West Natuna.
Unfortunately engineer/technicians in the field do not have enough knowledge and experienced about this kind of gas flowmeter. They need intensive training to know the basic theory and how the ultrasonic meter works. The Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meter Course will provide participants with comprehensive information on ultrasonic gas flowmeter technology. During this-5 days course the participants will receive information on wave theory, acoustic and ultrasonic waves, ultrasonic measurement system, various type of ultrasonic flowmeter, the principle operation of transit time ultrasonic gas flowmeter and its calibration. On the last day the participants will visit and carry out practical work at Ultrasonic Laboratory, Engineering Physics Department, Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB).
