Fundamentals of Fluids for Production Operations: Gases and Static Pressure
e-Learning
About the eLearning Course
In this program, you will learn how to predict pressure, temperature, and volume changes that occur in gas compression and storage. You will also learn to recognize hazards in gas handling and the precautions used to avoid these hazards. This program also covers the nature, calculation, and uses of static pressure, including how to calculate pressure from liquid level and liquid level from bottom gauge pressure, the instruments that operate on the principle of static pressure, the nature and hazards of vacuum; and the uses of static pressure in handling and transporting fluids.
Target Audience
