Gas Measurement: Fundamentals
e-Learning
About the eLearning Course
This course teaches the relationships between gas pressure, temperature and volume. You will also learn about different types of gas laws. We will teach you the difference between real and ideal gases. The program also explains absolute, gauge and atmospheric pressures, the difference between a temperature scale and its absolute equivalent. Additionally, you will learn about the concepts of specific gravity and density. The problem of calculating standard volume from measured volume provides a practical focus for the theory and concepts.
Target Audience
Operations personnel who require a fundamental understanding of knowledge to operate and maintain facilities. Also suitable for maintenance and technician personnel whether new to their roles or seasoned experts looking to enhance their skills.You Will Learn
