  • Page 14: Principle Of Operation

    PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The HP Series Profile/Insertion Flowmeter is a velocity measuring, turbine type flowmeter. The flowing fluid engages the vaned rotor causing it to rotate at an angular velocity proportional to the fluid flow rate. The angular velocity of the rotor results in the generation of an electrical signal (AC sine wave type).
  • Page 15: Installation

    Weld a short riser with appropriate pressure rating to the pipeline. This riser and the full port valve should have the mating fitting required by the HP Series Flowmeter. Correct gaskets and bolt types should be utilized.
  • Page 16: Strainers/Filters

    In the later application the arrow indicates the flow direction for the 'forward' calibration. In order for the HP Series Flowmeter to properly measure fluid flow, it is necessary to insert the well assembly at the mean velocity point. At this depth, the velocity and net area of the pipe section may be used to calculate the pulses per unit-volume of the measuring section.
  • Page 17: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE The field maintenance of the HP Series Flowmeter is limited to inspection and/or replacement of a few components. In general, it is advisable to remove the insertion meter from the line on a periodic basis and examine it for contamination and wear.
  • Page 18: Pickup Coil Replacement

    Using a ¼” (for 1½” meter) or ” (for 2” meter) Spintite, remove one shaft locknut. Carefully slide the shaft out while supporting the rotor. The rotor will drop out once the shaft is removed. Remove the deflector cones, one from each side of the Well supports. Carefully inspect all components, replace any that may be worn or damaged.

  • Page 20: Insertion Depth Determination

    INSERTION DEPTH DETERMINATION A review of the principles of fluid flow in pipelines reveals that the velocity of the fluid across the pipe is not constant. Under a given set of conditions a flow profile exists which varies from a parabolic shape in laminar flow to approximately flat in the turbulent flow region.
  • Page 21 A consequence of using center line positioning in medium diameter pipes is that a scaling factor, relating the average flow to the center line flow, must be included in determining the calibration constant of the metering section. In general, the profile scaling factor (PF) relates to the shape of the velocity profile under a given set of fluid conditions (i.e., Reynolds Number (Rn)).
  • Page 22 An estimate of the error introduced into the indicated flow by the varying flow profile may be made with the aid of the following equation: − % ERROR 100%   It may be noted that the percent error will increase as a larger turn down range is sought.
