Pipeline Flow Characteristics and Static Pipeline Hydraulics
e-Learning
About the eLearning Course
In this course, you will learn about pipeline flow, including multiphase flow, and types of liquid slugs and slug catchers; and static pipeline hydraulics, including specific and API gravity, pressure and elevation, calculating hydraulic gradient and static pressure, and the control point.
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
Participants will learn how to:
- Describe multiphase flow in pipelines.
- Describe slug formation and types of liquid slugs.
- Identify three types of slug catchers.
- Explain specific and API gravities and how they are calculated.
- Describe the relationship between pressure and elevation and calculate pressure in a tank or pipeline.
- Describe the hydraulic gradient and calculate static pressure from the elevation profile.
- Describe how to find the hydraulic gradient in pipeline batches.
