We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Custody Transfer",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Processingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Largest Ever ELITE Coriolis flowmeter from
Emerson Process Management, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Micro Motion ELITE high capacity Coriolis offers superior measurement performance at an exceptionally high flow rate, ideally suited to address the demands of fiscal custody
transfer applications".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release The case for widebeam ultrasonic flow measurement from
Siemens Process Instrumentation: "Transit time ultrasonic flow measurement is the most commonly used method of flow measurement, but the two types, namely diametral and chordal, have both advantages and disadvantages".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Emerson Process Management
concerning its Daniel Model 3804
- take a look at Metering contract for India's newest refinery
which says: "Daniel Model 3804 Liquid Ultrasonic Meters will be used to determine 'Fiscal transfers' of all petroleum products at a new refinery project for Reliance Petroleum in India".
Take a look also at the news release from Emerson Process Management, Micro Motion meets new standards for European use,
as well as Coriolis units in the largest line sizes, to 12'' from Fluid Components International,
and Coriolis meters for large scale pipeline duties from Rheonik USA.
