Packages · Metering & Analyzer
A custody-transfer metering package records flow quantity at a contractual transfer point using the agreed measurement basis and reference conditions. Meter type, operating range, fluid properties, compensation method, measurement traceability and acceptance criteria are set in the project and contract documents; no generic accuracy guarantee is implied.
From project definition to delivery
Engineering of Custody Transfer Metering Packages concentrates on required measurement uncertainty, fluid properties, operating range, meter-run geometry, pressure loss, flow conditioning, calibration or proving, compensation and audit-trail integrity. The selected configuration is verified against normal, minimum, start-up, shutdown and credible upset cases, then checked for operability, maintainability, energy use, process safety and site interfaces before the design is frozen.
The design basis for Custody Transfer Metering Packages is defined from service data, design conditions, and battery limits. For this equipment, Contractual measurement basis and Fluid and operating cases must be completed in the datasheet and design documents; performance values and guarantees are set only after the project basis is approved.
Materials, corrosion allowance, sour-service requirements, piping classes, nozzle design, insulation, coating, supports and maintenance access are coordinated with the actual process conditions and project code hierarchy.
Control philosophy, alarms and trips, cause-and-effect logic, interlocks, start-up and shutdown sequences, safe depressurization and operator access are developed consistently from the P&IDs through functional testing.
Battery limits, tie-in points, structural loads, cabling, instrumentation, drains, vents, access routes, lifting envelopes and shipping constraints are controlled through coordinated models and interface drawings.
From project definition to delivery
Proposal quality depends on complete input data and an explicit acceptance basis. The following lists provide a practical starting point and are completed during technical clarification.
Technical Datasheet
The values below describe a certified LPG truck-loading solution family; they are not a universal custody-transfer envelope, Delham rating, or guarantee.
| Application / size | Published transfer rate | Published maximum at stated pressure drop | Application limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small truck loading, 2 in | 60–1,000 kg/min | 280 kg/min at ΔP 0.5 bar | Published LPG loading solution; max-flow condition and certified custody-transfer range are different ratings. |
| Large truck loading, 3 in | 150–3,000 kg/min | 700 kg/min at ΔP 0.5 bar | Check LPG properties, line velocity, meter approval, proving and local legal-metrology requirements. |
