CATQM&M expands cooperation with the All-Russian Research Institute for Flow Metering

Employees of the Crimean Metrological Center, headed by the general director Evgeny Eremenko,  upgraded their skills  on the program “Testing and calibration of reservoirs, tankers and pipelines” in the Center for Advanced Training, Quality Management and Marketing of Kazan Federal University. During the distance learning, the company employees got acquainted with the current state of the regulatory, information and metrological base in the field of ensuring the uniformity of measurements, as well as with the peculiarities of metrological support of stationary and transport measures of capacity. The participants examined in detail the features of calibration testing of vertical steel cylindrical tanks in accordance with GOST 8.570-2000, as well as horizontal ones in accordance with GOST 8.346-2000, check testing of tankers, calibration of technological pipelines, as well as calibration testing Software.

The program was created jointly with the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute for Flow Metering (the branch of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise “All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Metrology “) which is the leading organization in the Russian Federation in the field of metrological assurance for oil and oil products.  KFU and VNIIR fruitfully cooperate in the field of advanced training of managers and specialists of the leading oil and gas companies.

“Every year, the specialists of the metrological service improve their qualifications in the Center for Advanced Training, Quality Management and Marketing.
