SUMMARY:Energy Correlation and the Centertap Torus Flow Measurement System
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThis presentation describes an innovatively designed primary flow element and the calculation of flow by the ENERGY CORRELATION METHOD. It addresses several limitations of flow rate measurement by orifice flowmeters and other differential pressure devices. Some of those mechanical and performance limitations are; (a) maximum allowable differential pressure to limit bending of the plate; (b) requiring pseudo-fully developed velocity profile approaching the orifice plate; (c) minimum downstream straight run and distance of protruding secondary instruments downstream of the orifice plate; (d) edge sharpness of the plate bore; (e) effect of flow profile distortions on single point wall pressure taps; (f) only single phase clean fluids; (g) concentricity of the plate bore to the pipe axis; (h) long upstream-downstream meter runs; and (i) ability to perform diagnostics on the primary unit. \nThis presentation presents experimental data that demonstrates how an innovative design can address those limitations and achieve reliable and repeatable flow rate measurement capability by this Differential Pressure (DP) type flowmeter. This primary element can be installed to measure gas\, liquid\, steam\, waste-water flows\, and other fluids with known or predictable fluid properties (density and viscosity). With addition of two other instruments\, this device can also measure multiphase fluid flows within current field accepted limits of measurement uncertainty. With addition of another DP transmitter\, in the event of measurement anomaly due to changes in fluid properties\, failure of mechanical setup\, or instrumentation\, the flow computer can alarm the operator. \nPresenter: \nDave Bell – President\, Bell Technologies \n \nDavid (Dave) Bell has been the owner and Chief Technology Officer of Bell Technologies\, LLC since its inception in 2010. He has been working with metering and control valve design\, development\, and sales for more than 50 years with companies such as Marathon Pipeline Co.\, Explorer Pipeline Co\, M & J Valve Co\, Daniel Systems\, Puffer-Sweiven\, and Precision General. In 1970\, as Project Manager for Explorer Pipeline Co.\, Dave was instrumental in the design and installation of the pipeline stations start-ups. Dave has 11 patents to his name for new developments around flow technology and is currently a COGFM member of the API. \nInstructions:  \nOnline attendees:\nDownload and install Zoom software if necessary\nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwudeqsrTorHtIS3PPXxjHqWgyTBjfMVTr1 \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nYou may join the meeting starting at approximately 11:00 am for socializing and announcements.\nThe presentation will begin at 11:30 am.
