UEENEEI104A - Solve problems in flow measurement components and systems
Overview
This unit covers setting up flow measuring components and systems and providing solutions to flow measurement problems as they apply to various process and control work functions. It encompasses working safely, setting up and calibrating flow measuring systems, problem solving techniques, the use of a range of measuring devices, providing solutions derived from measurements and calculations to predictable problems in flow measurement systems.
Assessment
For Melbourne campuses
Assessment tasks will be designed to reinforce and extend knowledge and skill competence within set and controlled parameters in accordance with each unit’s learning outcomes and performance criteria requirements, including the setting of work based practical application tasks designed to provide evidence of competence outcomes, within periodic and scheduled timelines.
Students will be expected to demonstrate the following required skills and knowledge:
- introduction to flow measurement in closed conduits;
- differential pressure flow measurement;
- differential pressure flow measurement circuits;
- variable area flow meters and turbine flow meters;
- electromagnetic, vortex and ultrasonic flow meters;
- mass flow measurement and volumetric flow rate correction;
- mechanical flowmeters for liquid service, and;
- open-channel flow measurement and flow meter calibration.
Required reading
The qualified trainer and assessor will provide teaching and learning materials as required in the form of workbooks produced by the Polytechnic and/or via the Polytechnic e-learning system.
As part of a course
This unit is not compulsory for any specific course. Depending on the course you study, this unit may be taken as an elective.
