Energy Correlation and the Centertap Torus Flow Measurement System
2024-03-06 11:00 - 12:30 | Kenexis, 15995 N Barkers Lndg Rd Ste 143 Houston, TX 77079-2418, Houston, TX, 77079-2418, United States
Abstract:
This 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.
This 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.
