Pune is one of the biggest cities in Maharashtra in India. It is probably the second-best metropolitan city in the state after Mumbai and one of the thriving business centers. The city was also known as Poona and is India's big IT automobile and manufacturing hub.
Some prominent educational institutions related to management and other streams are located in Pune, which attracts students from across the world and other parts of the country. Research institutions specializing in information technology, education, management, and training attract overseas and Indian students.
Many German-based companies are headquartered out of Pune in India and have a strong presence in the city. Hundreds of German companies operate out of Pune, with many of them having industrial and manufacturing establishments located there.
The other industrial units in the city also include manufacturers and suppliers of natural gas flow meters, which are extensively used in custody transfer applications. Custody transfer involves changing hands or transferring ownership of fluid-like gas, oil, steam, or water. The possession of the same is transferred from one owner to another.
Multiple parties are involved in custody transfer, and the parties usually happen to be gas production, pipeline, or utility companies. The critical aspect of custody transfer is measuring the product transferred before and after the custody transfer. Natural gas flow meters are used in the case of gas to perform accurate measurements during the transfer process. Multiple flow meters are part of the transfer process to ensure no discrepancies. One set of flow meters measures the volume before the transfer, and another does the same after the transfer. As a severe amount of money is involved, there cannot be any compromise on accuracy.
Positive displacement flow meters are extensively used to measure the transfer of water, natural gas, and many other fluids during the custody transfer. Ultrasonic flow meters are used during the transfer of petroleum products from the company to the distributor. The measurement accuracy is essential for both the receiving and the delivering parties. Custody metering skids transfer the process fluid with a change in territory and ownership of the fluid. Custody metering skids are highly precise and accurate for measurement purposes.
