About this industry
A custody-transfer meter run is where measurement becomes money — every barrel is bought and sold on the totalizer, so the meter, the flow computer, the conditioning upstream of it, and the calibration behind it all have to hold to a contract. Prater Technical Partners supplies that run end to end: Cox Exact and Precision turbine meters for precision custody transfer of refined fuels on product laterals and runs up to four inches, the Cox FC30 flow computer applying AGA-7 and API 2540 corrections, Cox flow straighteners and MIL-PRF-7024 calibration to certify the run, Preso Venturi differential metering for sour service, WIKA-ST dynamic pressure transducers to catch surge and pressure waves, and Indeeco heat-trace and impedance heating that freeze-protect and cold-start the line. Prater Technical works with you to spec each one from the fluid, the meter run, and the area classification.
