Abstract
This overview training introduces gas flow calibration fundamentals, combining core measurement principles with practical setup requirements to build confidence for beginner-to-mid-level industry professionals
Abstract Details:
This training session provides a practical overview of mass flow calibration designed for skilled industry professionals seeking to strengthen beginner-to–mid-level understanding. The course begins with a high-level review of mass flow measurement principles, then progresses into the critical physical setup considerations required for accurate calibration, including gas selection, plumbing, environmental conditions, and equipment requirements. Attendees will gain insight into typical calibration methods. By connecting theory with real-world application, this session equips participants with the foundational knowledge and confidence needed to begin performing or supporting reliable mass flow calibrations.
