    Suspicious recruiters, or just incompentent ones

    I got my current job through a recruiter (been here 10+ years), within a few weeks they were back on the phone to discuss new opportunities!

    calculation of gas viscosity

    May or may not help... Sorry can't seem to get the attachment showing the equations from the API TDB to upload :(

    How to perform temperature sensor calibration at site ?

    If you have a thermowell adjacent to the RTD you can insert a (calibrated) temperature probe and check they are reading within 0.5 degC of one another. As for the transmitter you can inject a resistance at 5 points across the range of the transmitter and measure the output which you compare...

    Dear members, I am looking for d

    I think rather than the standard, although it may be a useful reference, you require the calculation to determine the fuel gas density. There are numerous resources online if you search for ISO 6976 calculation however http://www.sgc-valid8.com/ may prove useful.

    AGA 8

    Typically ISO6976 is used in the UK to calculate standard density, hence std volume

    Calculating Standard Volume

    Perhaps the meter can be reconfigured to output std volume? Otherwise, you could convert your volume to mass using the density, then convert it again to std volume units using the std density. Quite messy though and unlikely to any reporting requirements.

    Calculating Standard Volume

    Is this a 2 or 3 phase separator? Which meters are installed?

    Calculating Standard Volume

    AGA8 will calculate a base density

    MEG Filtration, DP Tx SELECTION

    I'm sure there are plenty of instrument minded people on here who can help but why not take your enquiry to Rosemount or Yokogawa, etc?

    A kick could force the drill pipe against the wall of well resulting in the piping being stuck.

    Venturi Meter design guidance

    I suggest ISO5167 parts 3 & 4 for guidance on venturi tubes

    Oil and Sediment Cut in Produced Water and Flowback

    API Chapter 10 Section 3 & 4 might give you some information you can use

    I'm not sure you should become a leader.

    Looking for top instrument calibration brands

    Whilst it won't be the cheapest option, the Beamex MC5 is an excellent all in one multifunction calibrator
