From the Desk of Director, Dr. Jacob Chandapillai

FCRI is a leading premier Fluids Engineering Institute rendering industrial services and solutions. The Flow Centre

at FCRI is a part of National / International standards for flow measurement duly accredited by NABL. Institute

facilities are most comprehensive set of flow engineering and provide a unique resource for industry in India. All

the facilities are available for sponsored R&D programmes and commercial calibration and evaluation.

Strong links with the oil & gas sector, water industry, Power Industry, Process/Manufacturing sector, Automotive

sector, R&D organization etc. have been developed through joint industry projects and by holding regular

seminars, workshops and conferences on topical issues related to flow measurement.

For the past 25 Years FCRI has been extending its services to different sector of Industries Viz. Refineries, Process

& Petrochemical Industries, Flow product manufactures, Water utilities, Power plants, Research & Development

Agencies not only in India but also to customers like General Electrical/General Motors USA for R&D activities

and continues to be the most prestigious Research Institute related to flow products in Asia.

The Institute also undertakes sponsored R & D projects and as of now it has completed more than 120 projects

making it one of the specialized research Institutes and renders authorized / approved technological services

such as consultancy, testing, certification, and training for private and public – sector Organisations. The institute

acts as a National Certifying body for flow measuring systems. It also assists in acquiring quality conformance by

traceable calibration of industry reference devices as per the norms of ISO 9001 series and under takes training

of Industrial Personnel from India and abroad.

FCRI has been empanelled by Ministry of External Affairs, Govt. of India to impart Training under ITEC / SCAAP /

TCS of Colombo Plan scheme. Under these schemes, professionals and people from developing countries are

offered unique training courses, to empower the participants with not just professional skills, but prepare them for

an increasingly globalized world.

Over the past twenty two years, FCRI has given advanced Training to more than 815 overseas personnel from 82

countries under ITEC/SCAAP/TCS of Colombo Plan schemes sponsored by Ministry of External Affairs, Govt. of

India. Our high-tech Technical Training programmes cater to the growing demand of service oriented

professionals. FCRI aims at reaching the mass across the globe by imparting training with updated

methodology. Several Petroleum and Oil & Gas personnel have been benefitted out of our technical training

programmes.

It is our earnest desire that more and more organisations across the Globe come forward to grab the

opportunity offered by Govt. of India by nominating a good number of delegates for our various Technical/

Management programmes to be held during the year 2014-15.

We sincerely hope that our efforts to impart quality training programmes to overseas personnel would fetch

more positive results and more and more number of people would be benefitted from our high-tech advanced

Training programmes.

Wishing the participants all the very best..
