A transfer coupling comprising a static component (71) and a rotatable component (72) are arranged in co-axial alignment. The static component (71) includes a first number of ports (71 a) and the rotatable component (42) includes a second number of ports (72a) the ports arranged in a common circumferential plane wherein the ports (71 a, 72a) are configured and arranged, in use, to homogenise a flow area for a fluid being transferred through the ports (71 a, 72a) and thereby create a homogenous volume flow. A first (71) of the static component and the rotatable component comprises a circumferential array comprising a first number of ports (71 a) of a first size and the second (72) of the components comprises a circumferential array comprising a second number of ports (72a) of a second size, the first number being substantially smaller than the second number and the first size being substantially larger than the second size.
