1.5 3818 LNG Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meter design
The Daniel 3818 LNG Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meter is a remote mount, dual transmitter
electronics, eight-path (sixteen transducers) in-line meter designed to measure the difference in
signal transit time with and against the flow across one or more measurement path(s). A signal
transmitted with the direction of flow travels faster than one transmitted against the flow
direction. Each measurement path is defined by a transducer pair in which each transducer
alternately acts as transmitter and receiver. The meter uses transit time measurements and
transducer location information to calculate the mean velocity.

Daniel 3818 LNG Liquid Ultrasonic Meter Installation Manual Section 1: Introduction
3-9000-771 Rev A May 2012
Computer simulations of various velocity profiles demonstrate that eight measurement paths
provide an optimum solution for measuring asymmetric flow. The Daniel 3818 LNG Liquid
Ultrasonic Flow Meter utilizes eight cross-bore, parallel-plane measurement paths to offer a high
degree of accuracy, repeatability, and superior low-flow capabilities without the compromises
associated with conventional technologies. The meter is comprised of two 3810 Transmitter
Electronics, designated as co-located primary (master) and secondary (slave) electronics. A synchronization cable connects the primary and secondary Acquisition Modules at the J6 terminal
block and the liquid ultrasonic flow meter firmware controls the transducers firing sequencing.
The Daniel 3818 LNG Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meter with the 30” diameter meter body utilizes 60
degree port angles with LT-07 transducers.
These features make the Daniel 3818 LNG Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meter the best choice for
cryogenic custody transfer applications as shown in the following sections of this manual.
The Daniel 3818 LNG Liquid Ultrasonic Flow Meter’s U.L. safety listing is accomplished through
the combination of a remote mounted, explosion-proof Transmitter Electronics Enclosure that
houses the CPU Module, I.S. Barrier Module, Power Supply Board, and the Backplane Board. The
flameproof Base Electronics Enclosure houses the Acquisition Module and the acquisition board
cable connections. The intrinsically safe transducers and cable assemblies are designed for Class
1, Division 1, Groups C and D areas without need of further protection when installed in
accordance with the field wiring diagram (refer to Daniel drawing DMC - 004936, see
Appendix A) and the meter body (spool piece).

Phase A and Phase B output (based on flow direction)
• Reverse flow - output only reports flow in the reverse direction. For frequency outputs,
Phase B of the output is 90 degrees out of phase with Phase A.
• Forward flow - output only reports flow in the forward direction. For frequency outputs,
Phase B of the output is 90 degrees out of phase with Phase A.
• Absolute - output reports flow in both directions. For frequency outputs, Phase B of the
output is 90 degrees out of phase with Phase A.
• Bidirectional - output reports flow on Phase A only in the forward direction and on Phase B
only in the reverse direction.

EXPLOSION OR FIRE HAZARD
Read and follow the instructions below:
• Conduit runs must have a sealing fitting within 457mm (18 inches) of the enclosure to reduce the
risk of an explosion or a fire.
• During operation, keep covers tightly closed. DO NOT open the transmitter electronics
enclosures when an explosive atmosphere may be present.
• During equipment maintenance, disconnect power before opening the transmitter electronics
enclosures. Clean cover joints before replacing.
• DO NOT substitute meter components. Substituting components may compromise the intrinsic
safety of the device.
Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in severe injury to personnel or cause damage to
the equipment.
3-9000-771 Rev A May 2012
1.7 Pre-installation considerations
• Pipeline equipment code compliance, ANSI, ASME, etc.
• Proper Inlet/outlet meter tube piping for reasonable stable flow to the settling chamber
(first meter tube spool upstream of the meter).
• Electrical safety compliance; UL, ULC, ATEX, IECEx etc.
• Civil and structural good practices compliance
• Contractual agreements or governmental compliance (or both)
• In-situ performance test procedures
• Field tested advanced meter health and flow dynamics diagnostics
• Data collection and retention procedures
• All piping and the meter body must be sufficiently insulated for bubble-free flow
through the meter
