Petroleum Distribution in India

From Hoffer Flow Controls, Inc.
 

 

Hoffer Flow Controls has completed work on a project for Reliance in Jumnagar, 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 prover meters to calibrate the flowmeters that will be in daily use.


Products & Services
Liquid flow meters are used for measuring the flow or quantity of a moving fluid. Search by Specification | Learn more about Liquid Flow Meters
Positive displacement flow meters measure the volume or flow rate of a moving fluid or gas by dividing the media into fixed, metered volumes. These devices consist of a chamber that obstructs the media flow and a rotating or reciprocating mechanism that allows the passage of fixed-volume amounts.
