•  Define and classify the types, terms and problems of multiphase flow measurement
•  Determine the basic concepts of multiphase flows and multiphase flowmeters
•  Measure within the acceptable accuracy and discuss the different types, selection and installation of flow measurement and level measurements
•  Implement OIML Recommendation R117 including its requirements and operation
•  Distinguish the various types of flow calibration, metering system and provers including static and dynamic measurement, meter proving, prover loop and custody transfer
•  Practice tank measurement and calibration methods and calculations of quantities
•  Discuss meter and prover troubleshooting, electronics, overall measurement uncertainty and proving of LPG meters
•  Explain in detail the different types, methods, and techniques used in lease automatic custody transfer and truck custody transfer as well as list the equipment used in each operation
•  Discuss pipeline meter considerations employed for liquid petroleum products
•  Employ systematic techniques in leak detection, loss control, monitor and control production losses as well as list the various API standards applicable to flowmetering and custody measurement
