GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT AFMS

AFMS Short Course & Exposition is provided by the society at no cost to attendees.

The Acadiana Flow Measurement Society (AFMS) was started in 1965 by a group of pipeline and production personnel with help from the University of Southwestern Louisiana, now known as University of Louisiana at Lafayette. AFMS was chartered to advance the study of measurement, with the original focus being gas measurement, but has since expanded to include liquid and NGL measurement.  This has been an annual show for over 40 years.  The first cancellations ever occurred in 2020 & 2021 due to the impact of COVID-19.

AFMS is a non-profit organization; all proceeds are used to provide measurement training, scholarship opportunities to college students interested in fields associated with measurement, and cover the operating expenses of the society.

The technical presentations, training sessions and exhibit hall filled with industry vendors showcasing their products and services are available to all conference attendees at no charge.  

To honor our historical affiliation with the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, we contribute to a scholarship fund established for the College of Engineering, Industrial Technology. This scholarship is presented to a ULL student each semester.

 We hope to encourage these students to investigate and possibly choose oil and gas measurement as a career opportunity. Click here to learn more about AFMS Membership.
