1 Calculation of flow rate from differential pressure devices orifice plates Peter Lau EMATEM - Sommerschule Kloster Seeon August -, 008 Contents Introduction - Why using dp-devices when other principles provide higher accuracy? Situation of very high temperatures. How is flow and pressure linked? Why do we need a discharge coefficient? What must be known to calculate flow rate correctly? What help does standards like ISO 567 provide? ifferences between different version (99 to 003). Which other information's are essential in a given application? What influences the flow measurement result and how important is it? What uncertainties must we expect?
2 Introduction Flow is always measured indirectly Flow rate one of the most complex and difficult quantity to measure and to calibrate. No principle for direct measurement exists. Many different physical measurement principles all have advantages and drawbacks. Roundabout way via speed, rotation speed, frequency, phase difference, temperature difference, force, voltage etc. (thousands of patents exist!) But: All metering devices need a calibration in one form or another. Question: How should we calibrate meters for use in hot water (> 300 C, 80 bar) or steam? Introduction Standards for dp-meters Primary devices - measure pressure difference Δp produced by flow passing an obstruction and calculate the mass flow. Any obstruction can be used if the relation between q and Δp is well known. Orifice plates Nozzles Venturi tubes are standardized obstructions. But others exist as well. The standards tell detailed how to use these devices and what the limitations are. ISO 567 Part,, 3 and from 003 (revision from 99) ISO/TR 5377 contains complementing information to ISO 567 ASME MFC-3M, 00 (revision from 989) ASME PTC 6-00 Performance Test Codes (revision from 996)
3 Introduction 3 The Situation for Power Plants In the late 60-ties and 70-ties no robust flow measurement technique was available for the high temperature/pressure applications. The nuclear power industry is conservative and focused on safety. The thermal effect is limited to a licensed value. A flow measurement accuracy of % kept the output at 98 % of rated effect. dp-devices showed no stable behavior due to fouling. Over the years a lot of measuring technique has been exchanged. Introduction Thermal Power Increase MUR Measurement Uncertainty Recapture is a trial to lower measurement uncertainty (mainly in flow), which in turn can be used to increase the thermal output closer to the rated effect. How can measurement uncertainty be reduced? By calibration! And by sensing of eventual changes over time! Who can calibrate flow meters at 330 C, 80 bar, Re >0 7? Nobody! What to use for sensing? A second measurement principle! 3
4 Introduction 5 - ifficulties in Meter Calibration Gravimetric Method - (short traceability to kg, s, C) The water must be kept at constant pressure and temperature Large amount of water big vessels are needed iverter and weighing tank in closed system to avoid steam evaporation Volumetric Method - (longer traceability to m 3, ρ water, s, C) Pipe- or Ball prover (long big pipes working under high pressure Suitable material for ball or piston to tighten at high temperature/pressure (lubrication) Large positive displacement meter as master meter Flow is forced through the orifice We need a standard to clear up how pressure p, speed v, flow q m and flow area are interrelated and used to calculated mass flow from the pressure difference between point and with satisfactory measurement uncertainty? p p A A q m v v

Measurement principle Incompressibility means density does not change ρ = ρ Continuity means the flow is the same every where in the pipe q m = q m tappings for Δp-measurement q m = A ρ u u d A q m = A ρ v q m u = A ρ u : pipe diameter d: orifice diameter A = π A d = C π Area at the smallest flow cross section not exactly known! 5

( ) u u p p p ρ = = Δ Replace the speed terms through geometric measures and insert. m m m q u q u u A q ρ π = ρ π = ρ = ρ π ρ = Δ m q p ρ π ρ = Δ m q p = π ρ Δ m q p Replace with d, introduce β, solve for q m Final equation for calculating q m ρ π ε β Δ = p d C q m ρ Δ π = p q m Exchange unknown with known d Introduce a discharge coefficient C relating the unknown diameter to the known orifice diameter d! Introduce an expansion coefficient ε for compressible media (gas, steam). To measure flow means to determine Δp and use it in the equation with all other constants and calculate q m. β = d
7 Why a discharge coefficient? C determines the relation between the real flow through a primary device and the theoretical possible flow. For a given primary device this dimensionless parameter is determined using an incompressible fluid. With fixed geometry C only depends on the actual Reynolds number. In a way C can be regarded as a calibration constant for a primary device. Generally, different installations, that are geometrically equivalent and sense the same flow conditions and are characterized by the same Reynolds number, renders the same value for C. But: Re varies with pressure, temperature, viscosity and flow. And so does C. It is not easy to analyse the effect of different parameters on the flow. Why an expansibility factor ε expresses the different compressibility of different fluids (gases, steam), i.e. molecules are, depending on their form more or less compressed when passing the orifice. ε Water and other liquids are considered incompressible ε =. This makes calculations much simpler. The size of ε depends on the pressure relation and the isentropic coefficient κ, i.e. the relation between a relative change in pressure and the corresponding relative change in density. κ is a property that is different for different media and varies also with the pressure and temperature of the medium. For many gases there are no published data for κ. The standard recomends to use c P /c V. 7
8 What does the standards treatise on? Allowed variations for different measures (pipe diameter, orifice diameter, distance to upstream disturbances). Tolerances for all measures. How orifices must be installed. How thick the orifice can be and how much it may buckle. Which tolerances in angle are allowed How sharp or round the edges have to be. Which upstrem surface roughness the pipe must underpass. How the pressure tappings may be shaped and where they must be placed. How the tappings must be arranged in detail (diameter of drilled hole, smoothness of pipe wall, distance to possible flow disturbances etc.) Orifice plates (part of ISO 567) 8

10 The standard gives advice by installation examples : conical diameter increase : totally open valve 3: place for orifice : 90 elbow As long as certain distances (in multiples of ) between the orifice (or other dp-devices) and upstream disturbances are kept, the uncertainties stated in the standard are valid. No extra uncertainties need to be added. A table for lowest distance to different installation disturbances are given in a table. Table for critical distances to upstream disturbances 0
11 Measurement of pressure and differential pressure In flow computers or intelligent transmitters the density for the known liquid or gas is calculated from equations of state if pressure, temperature and gas composition is known. The measurement of static pressure p and differential pressure Δp should be separated. A correct Δp is of outmost importance.

14 How are a dp-devices often used? The primary flow device is bought with a belonging discharge coefficient C (one value). calculated to a standard for a specified application (medium, nominal flow rate, pressure, temperature Re ) or calibrated in a similar reference condition Re Actual flow q m (act) is calculated in relation to nominal flow rate q m (nom) using the square root dependency from Δp q (act) = m Δp(act) q Δp(nom) m (nom) For a different application a new relation q n Δp must be applied What must be known to calculated flow rate correctly?

At low gas flow and large temperature differences between medium and surrounding insulation is necessary. Any violation of ideal flow conditions must be explored. Swirl and non-symetric flow profiles must be avoided. Flow conditioners are highly recommended.

The uncertainty in C, the dominating contribution can possibly be decreased by testing. But other contributions from installation can easily generate larger uncertainty contributions.
