Measurement Focus Group Meeting June 2026

The Measurement Focus Group is supported by the UK Government's National Measurement System (NMS). The group focuses on flow measurement and flow-related issues in industry. Club members are invited to attend technical club meetings.

Delegates are primarily from the UK, but we often have presenters from USA, Norway and other parts of Europe. It's typically operators, consultants, manufacturers, service companies and also delegates from the UK Oil & Gas Regulator. The Measurement Focus Group is supported by the UK Government's National Measurement System (NMS). The group focuses on flow measurement and flow-related issues in industry. You can view the presentations from the previous meetings here.
