Coriolis Flow Meter Application, Installation, and Operation

Introduction to Coriolis technology

M2M Flow Training 2015 Page 4 Don Price

Coriolis Flow Measurement

Provides the most accurate flow meter technology (≥ +/- 0.1% of flow rate)

Siemens Coriolis sensors are multi-parameter devices

Meaning one device can measure all of these at the same time!

Temperature sensor

= + Volumetric flow meter Densitometer

+ + Mass flow

meter

Provides temperature measurement at flow measurment point; 2 x 1K RTD

Provides a real-time density corrected volume flow measurement

Provides an in situ API density measurement with or without flow

Why Coriolis

M2M Flow Training 2015 Page 5 Don Price

Volumetric flow can be subject to errors due to temperature, pressure and viscosity variations.

Mass flow 0.10% error Volumetric flow 2.5 - 0.25 % error

Sometimes variables are not a good thing………..

• Density is inversely proportional to frequency • All meters calibrated on air and liquid and at elevated temp. • MASS 6000 signal converter outputs, density, temperature and mass flow Density = A + B (1 + t) T2

A, B = Calibration constants = Density TC t = Liquid temperature T = Periodic time fr = Resonance frequency

What can Coriolis measure?

What is the fluid? General industry Molten plastic Liquid sulfur Sand in water Chemical Epoxy compounds Toothpaste or house paint Steam – saturated Steam – superheated Oil & Gas Raw crude oil Crude after separator LPG LNG CNG Food & Beverage Melted cheese Water Chocolate Milk

Recommended for flow measurement?

• No • Watch out for pipeline heating • Not suitable for concentration measurement

• Before being mixed – 2 meters • Yes • Yes – vertical upwards • Yes with condensate traps

• Yes – beware of water & sand & air • Yes including density for water cut • Yes as wholly liquid • Yes • Yes

• Yes with trace heating • Perfect for deionized or RO water • Yes • Yes including cream concentration

What can the flowmeter measure?

1. Remember, it’s a sensitive mechanical instrument. You don’t get ±0.X% accuracy without taking care of its environment and operating conditions.

2. Mechanical vibrations and small shifts in the fluid (micro-motions) will disturb the measurement. The only solution is to use an appropriate filter.

3. Pressure pulsations can disturb the measurement.

4. Pressure and flow pulsation like those from a control valve which is flashing or cavitating will disturb the measurement.

Custom-designed electric heating jacket for SITRANS FCS400 sensors

• Custom-designed for SITRANS FC410/430 sensors in sizes DN15-80

• Supply-voltage-specific

configurations either as 230 VAC or 115 VAC

• Designed to maintain up to 50 deg C differential between sensor body and ambient temperature (max temp is 200 deg C)

• Due to design not for use in Ex areas

• Jacket is not for process heating! Its purpose is to make trace heating of the process piping simple for users to ensure stable sensor & media temperature

Application areas where the heating jacket shines include: • Chocolate and cocoa extract • Margarine and other processed vegetable oils • Cheese, Vegemite, Marmite – foodstuffs with high

viscosity at room temperature • Liquid sulfur • Glues and other non-hazardous chemicals with

high viscosity at room temperature

Installation Considerations

Coriolis workshop

M2M Flow Training 2015 Page 60 Don Price

Minimize all pipe vibrations as much as possible!

Use flexible hose on inlet and outlet

Place meter as far as possible from vibrating items

Pulsation dampeners (Needed in connection with pulsating)

Installation – Install A Pair of Isolation Valves!

M2M Flow Training 2015 Page 61 Don Price

Avoid “cross talk“ between sensors

Use flexible hose between sensors

Use flexible hose between manifolds

Place sensors on separate mounting frames

Remember

1. It is a sensitive mechanical instrument. You don’t get ±0.X % accuracy without taking care of its environment and operating conditions.

2. Mechanical vibrations and small shifts in the fluid (micro-motions) will disturb the measurement. The only solution is to use an appropriate filter.

3. Pressure pulsations like leaky check valves on a diaphragm pump will disturb the measurement.

4. Pressure pulsations from some piston or cam-drive pumps will actually stretch the measuring tubes.

5. Pressure and flow pulsation like those from a control valve which is flashing or cavitating will disturb the measurement.
