Custody Transfer and Fiscal Metering Systems

When product changes hands, the meter reading becomes money, so custody transfer and fiscal metering are held to a far higher standard than ordinary measurement. This programme covers the measurement technologies, the calculations and the verification that make a metering system trustworthy and auditable. Delegates leave able to operate and check a fiscal metering system and understand where errors creep in.
