FLOW METER SELECTION SEMINAR Alan Graff RL Stone Co I&C Sales Manager Upstate NY & New England

A Leading Supplier of Flowmeters to HVAC & Industrial Marketplace Magmeters Vortex & Swirl Turbine Thermal & Coriolis Mass BTU Meter Pitot, Wedge Orifice Plates, Venturi Positive Displacement Rotameter, Variable Area

Define Application – Basic Facts Flowing Media (Steam, Water, Air, Gas etc…) Density - pressure and temperature Flow Range, minimum to maximum (turndown needed) Accuracy – how stated? % of range or span Repeatability Straight run requirements & available Economic Considerations – Initial cost, maintenance cost & operating costs

Why are we here? There is no 1 meter that will meet every application Every application needs to be looked at individually We can make some generalizations !!!!!!

FLOW MEASUREMENT HOW MUCH (TOTAL) HOW FAST (RATE)

Flow Through A Pipe Idealized Real World V V Pipe Velocity Profile

Flow Profile Correlation Steam Water Heavy Crude V Velocity profile is a predictable function of Reynolds number. Fluids with the same Reynolds number will have similar velocity profiles.

Characteristic Dimension* (D) General Flow Terminology Reynolds Number (RE)– A single dimensionless parameter formed as the ratio of inertial to viscous forces . Magnitude indicates whether flow is laminar or turbulent Fluid Density (p) Fluid Velocity (V) Characteristic Dimension* (D) Inertia Forces Viscous Forces RE= = Fluid Viscosity () * Usually inside pipe diameter.

Types of Flow Characterization of Fluid Flow RE < 2100 RE >3000 *** Well documented & proven fully developed flow profiles Laminar Transitional Turbulent ***

Volume Flow = Area x Velocity Volumetric Flowrate (Q) V A Q Volume = Area x Length Volume Flow = Area x Velocity

Mass Flowrate (m) V A m Q=VA Mass Flow m = Qp = AV Where m = Mass Flow Q = Volume Flow  = Fluid Density Mass = Volume x Density

Mass vs Volume Flowmeters Why are we concerned? How much does it really matter? Flow through a 4” line measured in a Averaging Pitot Flow Rate 1000 cfm Pressure 5 psi Temperature 100 F 70 F DP in WC 12.181 11.532 There is a 6% error just by changing density / temperature slightly…can you meter cope??

Factors affecting flowmeter performance General Flow Terminology Factors affecting flowmeter performance Process media Liquid Gas Density (Specific Gravity) Viscosity Pressure Temperature Velocity

Flowmeter Performance Accuracy Repeatability Linearity Rangeability

Types of Accuracy % Rate % Full Scale % Span % Max DP

Accuracy % Rate The percent accuracy value is constant and applied to the actual (or indicated) flowrate Flowrate ±1% rate 100 GPM ±1 GPM 50 GPM ±0.5 GPM 10 GPM ±.01 GPM Example: % Full Scale The absolute value of error (as expressed in engineering units) Flowrate ±1% Full Scale % Rate 100 GPM ±1 GPM ±1% 50 GPM ±1 GPM ±2% 10 GPM ±1 GPM ±10% Example:
