From the Director’s Desk

Fluid Control Research Institute (FCRI), a state of the art fluid flow engineering facility was inaugurated by the then Honourable President of India Shri. R. Venkataraman on 18 April 1989. The Institute established with techno-economic assistance from UNDP/UNIDO has grown to be a trusted name in the field of flow measurement and control.

The highly competitive and dynamic business scenario demands employees with high levels of competency, customer expectations of high quality of products and services, process and products
manufactured to international and national standards, etc. which emphasises need for continuous training and improvement in present employees as well as imminent need for well-trained employees inducted into organisations.

We, Fluid Control Research Institute, has been updating our standards and systems to be at par with similar Institutions world-wide. We would like to welcome you all to avail our training services, which we are sure will help you gain tremendous confidence in your flow measurement & metrology needs.

The platter of training courses range from the basic to the advanced, covering a broad range of verticals and specialised topics such as:

• Basics / Fundamental Principles in Flow Measurement Systems, Requirements for Calibration / Testing of flow products including flowmeters and valves, etc.
• Advanced Training programmes that start at fundamentals, sizing & selection criteria, on-site installation requirements, calibration & validation aspects, etc.
• Oil & Gas Custody Transfer metering principles, Testing/validation of technologies, AGA/API/ISO standards/norms and Legal Metrology aspects.
• Instrumentation & sensors’ applications, Metrology in electro-technical and thermal parameters.
• Specialised topics such as Flow Measurement in large diameter pipes & penstocks, Field Efficiency Testing of hydro-turbines based on ISO/PTC standards, fundamentals of Multiphase Flow Measurement, Principles & Practise of Noise & Vibration measurements, Fundamentals on Electro- technical & Physical metrology, etc.

FCRI has been organising Technical Training Programs for executives from different sectors from all over the world, besides, specifically tailored training programmes for executives and technical personnel from many industry sectors.

The customised training programmes are specifically designed to meet the needs of each industry sector such as Oil & gas, Water & Power, Chemical Process industry, Education sector, automotive & manufacturing, scientific & aerospace, etc. We invite you to go through the list of proposed training courses for the current year 2025 to see how they may be useful to you. If you still need custom training coverage, when the batch size of minimum 10 participants is assured, please do write to us at training@fcriindia.com. We will bring you a appropriate custom training program.

The experience, expertise and knowledge gained by our scientific faculty and practicing engineers have been helping various industry segments.

Welcome to FCRI.
Welcome to Flow Metrology.
