Hoffer Custody Transfer Meters -
A Perfect Fit in India
Hoffer Flow Controls Flowmeter sizes Hoffer Flow Control
has completed work on a project for Reliance in Jamnagar,
India. The scope of the project involved the supply of 57
custody transfer turbine flowmeters along with meter runs,
signal conditioners and totalizers. The API Series of custody
transfer turbine flowmeters was selected by the user. The
meter systems supplied will be used for billing purposes
at a newly commissioned refinery in Jamnagar.
As with all custody transfer flow applications, good
accuracy and repeatability were critical issues. The Hoffer
API Series of flowmeters provides a repeatability of +/-0.02%.
Two different levels of “linearity” are available on the
API Series of flowmeters. The standard API Series flowmeter
provides for +/-0.25%of reading linearity. The “premium”
API Series flowmeters provide for +/-0.15%linearity. This
customer selected Hoffer flowmeters at both levels of linearity.
They plan to use the premium +/-0.15%flowmeters as
proven
meters to calibrate the flowmeters that will be in daily
use.
Flowmeter sizes
ranged from2 1/2" through 4". The flowmeters will be
used primarily for loading rack service of light hydrocarbon
products. Both road tanker and rail car load systems have
been installed. Additional features sited by the customer
in the selection process of the flowmeters were rugged construction
and the hydraulically balanced rotor to eliminate thrust
bearing friction. These features allow for superior linearity
and long service life. This customer also specified that
all instrumentation supplied was to be CE compliant. Hoffer
was able to meet this requirement.
