Fundamentals of Fluids for Production Operations: Fluid Behavior
e-Learning
About the eLearning Course
In this program, you will learn about the types of fluids and their chemical and physical nature, the nature of phase, how phase change is used, and how it can be controlled. The program goes on to cover the instruments and units for measuring fluids. This includes units for measuring pressure, temperature, density, and viscosity. You will also learn about the nature of absolute measurements and how to convert measurements from one unit to another.
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
