The American School of Gas Measurement Technology (ASGMT) has never turned its back on change since its founding in 1966. Instead, it has consistently embraced progress and pursued new ways to strengthen our industry and support the development of our students. This year is no exception. After 25 years at our previous venue, ASGMT has proudly relocated to The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Conference Center. This move underscores our continued commitment to remaining at the forefront of industry evolution and delivering the highest‑quality experience for our students and the broader measurement community.

A HISTORICAL OVERVIEW OF BASIC ELECTRICAL CONCEPTS FOR FIELD MEASUREMENT TECHNICIANS Part 2 – Common Control Signals and Communications Protocols A number of control signals have been developed and used as technology has evolved. Control signals are a standardized method of conveying information from one device to another. A control signal is the data sent from one device to another by a specific method. In industrial process instrumentation, transmitted information is data. Data can be…

Pressure Effect on Turbine Meter Gas Flow Measurement Pressure sensitivity of turbine gas meters is a well observed phenomenon. However, very few published experimental pressure test data on turbine gas meters can be found for study until the last few years. Regulators in many countries either mandate or recommend the calibration of turbine gas meters close to their intended operating pressures in order…
