1.2 Purpose of this manual

This manual provides guidance to owners and personnel in the installation, operation and maintenance of the Daniel™ Senior™ Orifice Fitting.

To ensure safe and proper installation, operation and maintenance, it is imperative that product owners and operation personnel read and follow the information contained in this manual.

1.3 Product description

The Daniel Senior Orifice Fitting is an orifice plate holding device that houses, and accurately positions, an orifice plate within a pipe or tube to measure fluid flow. It is one component of a flow measurement system. The Senior Orifice Fitting (Senior) is designed to:

• Position an orifice plate, concentric to flow moving through a pipeline, within API

-14.3, Part 2 or ISO 5167 installation requirements.

• Allow personnel to remove and replace an orifice plate without disturbing the flow

measurement system piping, with little, or no, interruption in service and without removing the Senior from the system.

The orifice plate within a Senior restricts the fluid moving through a pipe. This restriction creates a change in static pipe pressure of the fluid. Instrumentation measure the difference in change of the fluid entering orifice plate bore, and once again after it exits the plate bore. This instrumentation then combines that information, along with other data gathered from the flowing fluid, and calculates the amount of fluid that passes through the system.

The first chamber, or Body (4), properly positions the orifice plate in the flow stream. The second chamber, or Top (14), is a temporary holding place for the orifice plate during removing or installing operations (Refer to Orifice plate installation and removal

instructions).

Important

The unit components have part numbers assigned on appropriate drawings and tables. Refer to Figure 1-2 thru Figure 1-5 and Table 1-4 thru Table 1-8 for part numbers. Example: Body (4).

Figure 1-1: Daniel Senior Orifice Fitting - Flangnek option

Therefore, using a Senior may eliminate the need for bypass piping, valves, and other fittings necessary with conventional orifice fitting installations. Maintenance technicians can replace and repair all parts of the Senior, including the slide valve assembly, without removing the Body (4) from the line (refer to Maintain).

Emerson designs and manufactures all Senior units to applicable API-14.3 recommendations and in accordance with selected ANSI, ASME and ASTM specifications. As an option, Emerson Process Management also designs and manufactures fittings in compliance with ISO 5167.

Products bearing the "CE" mark are designed and manufactured in compliance with the European Union Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/EC (available on the internet).

Refer to the "Daniel Orifice Fittings Installation and Operating Instructions specific to the Pressure Equipment Directive", Part Number 3-9008-002 (available on the Emerson Process Management website).

Owner and operator manual Introduction

P/N 3-9008-001 October 2019

Table 1-2: Conditions and specifications (continued)

Pipe supports: The owner must employ sound engineering principles to design the support

systems for the flow measurement system (or meter tube). It is important that the design engineer develop a method to support the

entire weight (equipment, piping and fluid) of the system. The method developed must prevent bending to reduce the potential of

creating unwanted stress at welded joints and flanges. Unwanted stresses may lead to leaks and may ultimately lead to failure or rupture of the flow measurement system.

Notes for Table 1-4:

(1) All Daniel Senior Orifice Fittings are supplied with pipe plugs on the drains only. If pipe plugs for the measurement tap holes are required, please contact the factory directly.

• Locations of Equalizer Valve (1), Bleeder Valve (10B), and Grease Gun (23) may differ

from diagrams shown in this manual.

• The clamping bar screw quantity and size listed here reflect ones used on our most

common fitting for that size and pressure rating. The actual number and size of clamping bar screws may vary for that size and pressure rating due to a fitting's material of construction and configuration. When ordering replacements, or developing a maintenance program, always confirm the count and size of clamping bar screws of your fitting.

• Slide Valve Lubricant: 0.38 in (9.53 mm) diameter by 1.5 in (38.1 mm) long is

equivalent to some lubricant manufacturers' "B" size stick. The quantity of lubricant a fitting described in this manual will require is dependent upon the state and condition of the fitting. Emerson recommends having one box of lubricant sticks (24 sticks per box) on-hand when performing maintenance and plate inspection/change procedures.

(*) Indicates interchangeable parts for all line sizes of specified pressure rating(s).

(1) Indicates 1/2" - 13. See Table 1 for clamping bar screw recommended torque values.

General notes for Table 1-4:

• The materials listed in Table 1-4 indicate standard "NACE" trim.

• Materials of some items listed in Table 1-4 are changed for the "AASG" trimmed fittings.

• Several available trim options are shown in Table 1-3.

• Other trim options available upon request. Consult factory.

• Bolded item numbers are for parts which are fluid media PIC (parts in contact).

WARNING

HIGH PRESSURE HAZARD Follow all instructions provided in this section when installing the Sealing Bar Gasket (9A), Sealing Bar (9), and Clamping Bar (12).

Failure to comply may cause pressurized fluids to escape, resulting in death or serious injury.

The Daniel Senior Fitting is an essential element in any orifice measurement system. Other elements in an orifice measurement system may include a meter tube, a flow conditioner, and various data recording devices.

Purchasers have the option of acquiring only a Daniel Senior fitting unit for later installation in a flow measurement system, purchasing a Senior Orifice fitting with a meter tube, or purchasing a complete flow measurement system containing a Senior Orifice fitting.

54 Senior Orifice Fitting

Owner and operator manual General Information

P/N 3-9008-001 October 2019

At our factories, Emerson personnel perform two unique tests on each Senior fitting for fluid retention. The first test is an internal hydrostatic SHELL test on a full assembled TOP (14) and BODY (4) with the slide valve seat (18) open, to a minimum pressure of 1.5 times its rated maximum allowable operating pressure. The second test is an internal hydrostatic SEAT test. With the slide valve seat (18) closed, Emerson personnel apply a minimum pressure of 1.1 times the rated maximum allowable operating pressure to the BODY (4) only.

Important

When purchasing only a Daniel Senior fitting, it is the responsibility of the both the product owners and product operating personnel to perform an internal hydrostatic shell test of the final meter tube assembly prior to service.

Product owners and product operating personnel performing an internal hydrostatic SEAT test of the Daniel Senior fitting prior to service should not exceed 1.1 times its rated maximum allowable operating pressure within the BODY (4) and with the slide valve seat (18) closed.

WARNING

FLUID EXPLOSION HAZARD Never pressurize a unit above the limits recommended in this manual. Before pressurizing the Daniel Senior Fitting, confirm the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) of each item in the system.

Over-pressurizing the Daniel Senior fitting could lead to an explosive release of fluid resulting in death, serious injury or damage to the Senior.

2.1.2

When assembling a flow measurement system that will contain a Daniel Senior Orifice Fitting, particular attention should be paid to the requirements for permanent joining of components. This will be to ensure optimal measurement performance and successful pressure test results. Referencing an appropriate measurement code (API-14.3, ISO 5167, etc.) will aid in this assembly.

NOTICE

Follow all the safety and equipment limits recommended in Conditions and specifications of this manual.

It is the owner's and/or purchaser's responsibility to comply with these parameters.

NOTICE

On installations built to comply with the European Union Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU, it is the responsibility of the end user to meet all essential safety requirements of the directive (available on the internet). End users must pay particular attention to the requirements for permanent joining and non- destructive testing. Refer to the "Daniel Orifice Fittings - Installation and Operating Instructions specific to the Pressure Equipment Directive", Part Number 3-9008-002 (available on the Daniel Flow website).

Storage

Follow your company's storage procedures when placing any measurement equipment into inventory. Spraying a light coat of rust inhibitor onto the inside bore of a Daniel Senior, and to the bore of the meter tube, may protect its surface finish during storage.

Owner and operator manual 55

General Information Owner and operator manual

October 2019 P/N 3-9008-001

2.1.3 Preliminary Steps

NOTICE

Follow all the safety and equipment limits recommended in Conditions and specifications of this manual. It is the owner's and/or purchaser's responsibility to comply with these parameters.

The Senior may arrive at your site in any number of ways, usually as a component in a meter tube/measurement system, or as a loose fitting. If received as a loose fitting, then see the appropriate code (API-14.3, etc.) for assembly requirements.

It is the responsibility of the product operators to clean the Senior and all piping components of foreign matter such as welding debris, scale, oil, grease, and dirt before commissioning.

Record the serial plate data on the Senior's nameplate for future reference. Always provide the serial number and model number when ordering spare parts.

The factory places the plate carriers (8DMC or 8DM) inside the fitting for shipment.

The factory packages the Orifice Plates (13) and Seal Ring units (8E-DSC or 8E-DS; 8TSC or 8TS; 8MSC or 8MS; 8SNC or 8SN) separately from the fitting.

2.1.4

2.1.5

Severe service conditions

If product owner expects to encounter gas or liquid composition where there is a likelihood of sediment accumulation within the fitting, then Emerson recommends that the owner instruct their operators to remove Drain Valve Plug (30) and install a blow-down valve in its place.

Corrosive service

Corrosive environments may affect both the external and internal surfaces of the Senior. External corrosive environments are defined as those conditions that affect the outer surfaces of the Senior, while an internal corrosive environment is a condition that affects the surface inside the Senior. Read, understand, and follow instructions in the sections below if an internal or external corrosive environment exists.

External corrosive environments

For Seniors located in external corrosive environments (offshore platforms, marine terminals, etc), Emerson recommends replacing the standard carbon steel Equalizer Valve (Complete) (1), Bleeder Valve (Complete) (10B), Grease Gun (Complete) (23) and Drain Valve Plug (30) with the stainless steel versions listed in the "Corrosive Service" column (refer to Low temperature service).

Internal corrosive environments

It is the end user's responsibility to specify a fitting's material of construction based upon their knowledge of the process fluid and environmental conditions of an intended application. A number of trim packages are available for severe service to improve durability of the Senior fitting (Refer to Table 1-3).

56 Senior Orifice Fitting

Owner and operator manual General Information

P/N 3-9008-001 October 2019

The inside diameter specifications of a Senior fitting are exact. No allowance is provided for corrosion of the inside diameter.

2.1.6 Low temperature service

The fitting's material of construction is just one factor to consider when placing an orifice fitting into a low temperature service. Other factors to consider are the temperature characteristics of the slide valve lubricant, and the temperature limitations of the orifice plate seal material.

Operating temperatures have an effect on all valve lubricant Emerson offers. Lower temperatures increase a valve lubricant's viscosity. Higher viscosity lubricant is more difficult to transfer from the grease gun, through the grease channels and to the slide valve. Additionally the application of a high viscosity lubricant into a Daniel fitting may result in an uneven the distribution of lubricant around the Slide Valve Seat (18). An uneven distribution of lubricant may allow leakage to occur between the Slide Valve Seat (18) and the Slide Valve Strip (3) during a plate change operation. Refer to Lubricant

information to help you to select a lubricant for your application.

Orifice plate seal material is another factor to consider when selecting components for low temperature services. Refer to Conditions and specifications "Orifice plate seal material temperature limitations" to help you to select an orifice plate seal for your application.

For Seniors located in low temperature environments (atmospheric temperature ranges of +32° F [0° C] to -20° F [-29° C]), Emerson recommends replacing the standard carbon steel Equalizer Valve (Complete) (1), Bleeder Valve (Complete) (10B), Grease Gun (Complete) (23) and Drain Valve Plug (30) with the low temperature versions listed in the "Low Temp Service" column (refer to Low temperature service).

conditions. Although Emerson designs, builds and offers a product line that may be applicable to most flow measurement services, it is the end user's responsibility to match the fitting to the service to achieve successful results.

Important

Product owners and operating personnel must evaluate both process fluid and environmental conditions of an intended service and select the appropriate fitting to match those service requirements. Once selected, the product owners and operating personnel must place the Daniel fitting in a well-designed piping system.

Below is a list of some, but not all, pipe design conditions to consider:

• Service operating pressure

• Service testing pressures

• Service process temperature and ambient site temperatures

• Mass of fluid in process and test conditions

• Chemical composition and toxicity of fluid in operating conditions

• Traffic, wind and earthquake at loading site

2.1.8

• Reaction forces and moments (meter position, supports, attachments, piping, etc.)

• Corrosion, erosion, fatigue, etc.

• Decomposition of unstable fluids in operating and test conditions

• Possible damage from external fire

Installation configurations

Up to 12" nominal size (all ANSI Classes)

Product owners and operating personnel may install any Daniel Senior fitting, up to 12inch line size, in one of two configurations. One configuration is to install the fitting in piping system with product flowing in a horizontal direction (Figure 2-3). The other is to install the fitting in piping system with product flowing in a vertical direction (Figure 2-4).

Figure 2-3: Horizontal Flow

Installing the fitting in a vertical flow direction (see Figure 2-4) gives a product owner and operating personnel the option to fix the fitting in any position parallel to the ground. Although the insertion of the fitting in the vertical flow direction can be vertical UP or

P/N 3-9008-001 October 2019

vertical DOWN, it is recommended the fitting be in the vertical down flow direction to reduce the potential of debris collecting on the orifice plate.

Figure 2-4: Vertical flow

Installing the fitting in a horizontal flow direction gives a product owner and operating personnel the option to fix the final position of the fitting parallel (Figure 2-5 or Figure

2-7), or perpendicular (Figure 2-6) to the ground as shown.

3 Commissioning

3.1 Commission the Daniel Senior Orifice Fitting

DANGER

FLUID EXPLOSION HAZARD The Senior is a device that contains fluid at elevated pressure.

Failure to follow the instructions in this manual will result in death or serious injury.

Commissioning is the process of verifying that a system performs in accordance with the user's intended operational, maintenance, and measurement requirements. Emerson provides the following procedures to guide personnel in verifying that the Senior performs in accordance with the user's intended requirements.

Pre-Commissioning

Ensure that the following checklist is met prior to commissioning the Senior:

• The internal pressure throughout the Senior is equal to atmospheric pressure (0 psig / 0

barg).

• Confirm that the flow directional indicator (arrow or "INLET"/"OUTLET" tags) positioned

on the Senior Body (4) corresponds with the intended fluid flow direction of the measurement system.

• Check shipment to verify that the shipping kit contains an Operating Wrench (2),

Grease Gun (23), Indicator Plate (5A-LH marked "LH" for left-hand side operation and 5A-RH marked "RH" for right-hand side operation) and (2 EA) Indicator Pointer (5B).

• Confirm the proper operating clearance around the Senior per information contained

in the Daniel technical guide "DAN-DIF-TG-11-1003".

• Check accessibility and Operating Wrench (2) clearance at the following Senior

locations:

1. Lower Plate Carrier Shaft (6)

2. Upper Plate Carrier Shaft (7)

3. Bleeder Valve ()

4. Equalizer Valve (1)

5. Slide Valve Shaft (5)

• Confirm the Operating Wrench (2) operational clearances for the Plate Carrier (8DM or

8DMC) extraction, and meter tap equipment draw clearance.

• Install the Grease Gun(s) (23) into holes in the base of the Top (14) as stated below: — Remove the plastic shipping plugs

— Put thread sealer on the end threads of the Grease Gun Body (23) and tighten

securely. Check the accessibility to the Grease Gun(s) (23) after installation.

— Adjust the Senior's position if required.

Owner and operator manual 63

Commissioning Owner and operator manual

October 2019 P/N 3-9008-001

• Install the Indicator Pointer (5B) on to the Body (4) by tapping the two drive screws into

the holes located above the Slide Valve Shaft (5).

• Install the Indicator Plates (5A-LH and 5A-RH) on the Slide Valve Shaft (5), directly

below the Indicator Pointer (5B).

• Orient the Indicator Plate (5A-LH and 5A-RH), as stated below, depending on the shaft's

left or right side location (The right hand and left hand Indicator Plates (5A-LH and 5ARH) are different and not interchangeable):

— Shaft on the left hand side facing with the flow (standard LH position): when the

shaft is rotated clockwise until it stops, the Indicator Plate (5A-LH) word OPEN should appear below the Indicator Pointer (5B). Install the Indicator Plate (5A-LH) on the shaft in this position and tighten the Set Screw (10G) securely.

— Shaft on the right hand side facing with the flow (standard RH position): When the

shaft is rotated counterclockwise until it stops, the Indicator Plate (5A-RH) word OPEN should appear below the Indicator Pointer (5B). Install the Indicator Plate (5ARH) on the shaft in this position and tighten the Set Screw (10G) securely.

— After installation, rotate the Slide Valve Shaft (5) until it stops. The word CLOSED on

both Indicator Plates (5A-LH and 5A-RH) should appear below the Indicator Pointer (5B).

• Plate Carrier shipment verification

The Seniors leave the factory with the Plate Carriers (8DM or 8DMC) in the Body (4) to prevent the damage of the Plate Carrier (8DM or 8DMC) or the slide valve assembly during transit. Whether or not the Senior arrives directly from the factory, installation personnel must remove the Clamping bar and open the Top (14) and the Slide Valve Shaft (5) to ensure that the Plate Carrier (8DM or 8DMC) is inside. The Plate Carrier (8DM or 8DMC) should be removed before performing any tests.

• Orifice plates and Seal Rings verification

The factory packages the Orifice Plates (13) and Seal Rings units (8E-DSC or 8E-DS; 8TSC or 8TS; 8MSC or 8MS; 8SNC or 8SN) separate from the fitting.

• With the slide valve in the fully opened position, follow these instructions: — Rotate the Lower Plate Carrier Shaft (6) first.

— Rotate the Upper Plate Carrier Shaft (7) to remove the Plate Carrier (8DM or 8DMC).

— Put the Plate Carrier (8DM or 8DMC) in a safe, protected area for use later in the

installation process.

— Replace the Sealing Bar (9 or 9HP), the Sealing Bar Gasket (9A, 9AHP or 9CF) and

the Clamping Bar (12 or 12HP)

— Tighten and secure all Clamping Bar Screws (11) per the information and

procedures contained in Torque information

WARNING

Over-pressurizing the Daniel Senior fitting could lead to an explosive release of fluid resulting in death, serious injury or damage to the Senior.

Procedure

1. Install a pressure gauge in a location on the Senior or the piping system that will

indicate the pressure contained in the Fitting. The gauge should have a maximum pressure rating slightly above the maximum pressure to be applied during the test.

Important

Emerson hydrostatically tests every Senior unit for fluid retention, under factory controlled conditions , to a minimum pressure of 1.5 times its rated maximum allowable operating pressure. If purchased alone, without a meter tube, any hydrostatic testing of the meter tube assembly is the responsibility of the product owners or product operating personnel.

2. Slowly pressurize the system containing the Senior at a rate of 1 psig per second

(0.07 bars per second) until the pressure inside the Senior reaches 20 psig (1.4 barg) then stop and hold pressure for five minutes.

Owner and operator manual 65

Commissioning Owner and operator manual

October 2019 P/N 3-9008-001

Important

During the five-minute hold period, apply a leak detection solution to all joint and connector areas of the Senior and line connections. No leakage should be visibly detectable or audibly detectable during the hold period.

3. If a leak is detected, mark the leak area with a marker and reduce the pressure

inside the Senior to 0 psig (0 barg). Tighten any fastener or connector adjacent to the leak area and repeat the leak test again.

4. If after several attempts to contain the leakage, the leakage persists, call Flow

Lifecycle Services for Daniel products for assistance. Contact information is found in the back of this manual.

5. Once the 20 psig (1.4 barg) leak test is complete, and no leaks are detected, slowly

raise the pressure inside the Senior at a rate of 10 psig per second (0.7 barg per second) to the maximum operating pressure of the lowest rated item in the system. However, it should not to exceed 1.5 times the noted rated working pressure of the Senior. Hold the maximum operating pressure on the system for a period of ten minutes.

Important

During the ten-minute hold period, apply a leak detection solution to all joint and connector areas of the Senior and line connections. No leakage should be visibly detectable or audibly detectable during the hold period.

6. If a leak is detected, mark the leak area with a marker and reduce the pressure

inside the Senior to 0 psig (0 barg). Tighten any fastener or connector adjacent to the leak area and repeat the leak test again.

7. If after several attempts to contain the leakage, the leakage persists, call Flow

Lifecycle Services for Daniel products for assistance.

WARNING

PRESSURIZED FLUID HAZARD When opening the bleeder valve (10B) or venting the Top (14) through the bleeder valve (10B), direct the released pressurized fluid away from any individual in accordance with local environment regulations to a safe area.

The bleeder valve (10B) releases pressurized fluid that may cause contamination and/or accumulation of volatile gas mixtures. Failure to comply may cause death or serious injury.

8. Slowly release the pressure from the Senior until the pressure gauge reads zero (0)

psig by venting the Top (14) through the bleeder valve (10B).

4.1.3 Component exercise

Prerequisites

In order to perform the maintenance operation described in this section, the following component exercise start check list must be met:

• The slide valve must be in the "CLOSED" position,

• The Bleeder Valve (10B) must be in the "CLOSED" position.

• The Equalizer Valve (1) must be in the "OPEN" position.

At this point the fluid pressure in the Top (14) will equal the fluid pressure in the Body (4).

Procedure

1. If the differential pressure is greater than 200 inches of H O, reduce the differential pressure across the meter to a maximum of (200 inches of H O) 7.2 psig.

2. Rotate the Upper Plate Carrier Shaft (7) located in the Top (14) several times in both directions. The Shaft (7) should turn freely.

3. Rotate the Slide Valve Shaft (5) in one direction until it stops. Then rotate the Slide Valve Shaft (5) in the opposite direction until it stops. Repeat this sequence several times. The slide valve should travel freely in both directions with light resistance. Leave the slide valve in the OPEN position.

Important

The following operation will affect the flowing differential and will be shown on any chart or instrument, keep records of differential, unless these instruments are isolated.

4. Rotate the Lower Plate Carrier Shaft (6), located in the Body (4), one turn to raise the Plate Carrier (8DM or 8DMC).

5. Rotate the Lower Plate Carrier Shaft (6) one turn in the opposite direction to lower the Plate Carrier (8DM or 8DMC).

WARNING

EXPLOSION HAZARD The Daniel Senior Orifice Fitting contains fluid at elevated pressure. Ensure to follow the instructions below for proper installation and removal of the plate.

Failure to comply can cause an explosive release and may result in death or serious injury.

Important

In order to perform a safe and efficient plate change operation with a Senior, the on-site personnel must evaluate both the service and environmental conditions prior to beginning this operation. These conditions may have a dramatic effect on the time required for an operator's ability to return the Senior to its measurement condition.

80 Senior Orifice Fitting

Owner and operator manual Normal operation conditions

P/N 3-9008-001 October 2019

As stated in the product description section of this manual, the Seniors utilize a "dual chamber" design. A slide valve contains the line pressure in the Body (4) during the plate extraction from the Senior and plate installation into the Senior. Emerson offers both an ORing seal "softseat" slide valve design, and a grease assisted, metal-to-metal slide valve design. Both designs ensure the optimum seal performance during this stage in the Orifice Plate (13) change. Under some service conditions, the grease used in the metal-to-metal slide valve design may migrate into the Top (14). If this was to occur, then the grease assisted metal-to-metal slide valve may not perform optimally and leakage will occur.

There are some services where, based on the characteristics of the fluid within and an intimate knowledge of the system, an operator and owner may allow some leakage past the slide valve during a plate change operation. This decision to allow leakage should be made on a case by case basis and be properly documented, communicated to, and acknowledged by, all personnel involved in the plate change operation. The sole responsibility for a decision to allow leakage lies with both the product owner and product operator. Emerson recommends that owners and operators use either the "Quick Change" or "Extended Time" methods described in this section.

Therefore, when performing an Orifice Plate (13) change on a Senior equipped with a grease assisted, metal-to-metal slide valve, Emerson recommends that at no time shall an operator leave the Sealing Bar (9 or 9HP), the Sealing Bar Gasket (9A, 9A-HP or 9CF), and the Clamping Bar (12 or 12HP) unfastened from the Top (14) except to remove and replace the Orifice Plate Carrier (8DM or 8DMC) from the Senior.

Finally, the operator should never leave any Senior, O-ring seal "soft-seat" slide valve design, or a grease assisted, metal-to-metal slide valve design, unattended while the Sealing Bar (9 or 9HP), the Sealing Bar Gasket (9A, 9A-HP or 9CF), and the Clamping Bar (12 or 12HP) are unfastened and removed from the Top (14).

In order to assist the operator in determining the safest and most efficient means to perform the Orifice Plate (13) change on a Senior equipped with a grease assisted slide valve, Emerson prepared two plate change procedures that an operator may select from.

The operator must select the appropriate procedure based upon their intimate knowledge of both the service and environmental conditions of that particular flow measurement system. The two Orifice Plate (13) change procedures described below are the "Quick Change" process, and the "Extended Time" process. If the Senior is equipped with a "softseat" slide valve design, then the operator may use either procedure.

An operator can select the "Quick Change" process, based upon their determination that it will take LESS THAN 15 MINUTES from the time the Top (14) fluid is evacuated to the full replacement of the Clamping Bar (12 or 12HP), the Sealing Bar (9 or 9HP), and the Sealing Bar Gasket (9A, 9A-HP or 9CF) after the plate change.

The "Extended Time" process is a procedure selected when the operator determines that the time beginning with the evacuation of Top (14) fluid to the full replacement of the Clamping Bar (12 or 12HP), the Sealing Bar (9 or 9HP), and the Sealing Bar Gasket (9A, 9AHP or 9CF) after plate change is GREATER THAN 15 MINUTES.

If the operator does not know the time required to perform the Orifice Plate (13) change operation, then the operator must use the "Extended Time" procedure. The table below describes the conditions along with the suitable procedure.

4.2.3 Orifice plate change operation

Important

The Daniel Senior Orifice Fitting's Top (14) is designed to temporarily hold the Plate Carrier (8DM) during plate change operations.

An operator controlled, grease assisted, slide valve separates the Top (14) from the line pressure to ensure optimum sealing performance. The slide valve grease used to achieve this performance may migrate into the Top (14) during the plate change operation. If this was to occur, the slide valve may not perform optimally and may leak.

The grease migration process is both time and environmental condition dependent. Therefore, Emerson offers two plate change procedures that an operator may choose from in order to perform this process in the safest and most efficient manner. These procedures are the "Quick Change" process and the "Extended Time" process.

82 Senior Orifice Fitting

Owner and operator manual Normal operation conditions

P/N 3-9008-001 October 2019

The "Quick Change" process is a procedure based upon the operator's knowledge that the entire Orifice Plate (13) removal and installment, the time spent from the Top (14) fluid evacuation to the full replacement of the Clamping Bar (12 or 12HP), the Sealing Bar (9 or 9HP), and the Sealing Bar Gasket (9A, 9A-HP or 9CF) is under fifteen (15) minutes. The "Extended Time" process is a procedure based upon the operator's knowledge that the entire Orifice Plate (13) removal and installment, the time spent from the Top (14) fluid evacuation to the full replacement of the Clamping Bar (12 or 12HP), the Sealing Bar (9 or 9HP), and the Sealing Bar Gasket (9A, 9A-HP or 9CF) is over fifteen (15) minutes.

The procedural differences between these two processes are that, once the Plate Carrier (8DM) is extracted from the Senior, the "Extended Time" process requires the operator to place a new Sealing Bar Gasket (9A, 9A-HP or 9CF) along with replacing the Sealing Bar (9 or 9HP)/Clamping Bar (12 or 12HP) on the Top (14). Additionally, the operator is required to add grease to the Senior prior to removing the Sealing Bar (9 or 9HP)/Clamping Bar (12 or 12HP) in order to reinsert the Plate Carrier (8DM) assembly.

For "Soft Seat" equipped Seniors the operator may use either the "Quick Change" or the "Extended Time" plate removal procedures based upon the immediate service and environmental conditions encountered.

Emerson recommends either the "Quick Change" or the "Extended Time" plate orientation process for users of Seniors equipped with lubricated slide valves. Both the "Quick Change" and the "Extended Time" plate removal processes are provided for users of the Daniel Senior Orifice Fittings with lubricated slide valves.

Requirements for “Quick change” procedure

Pre-requisites

You may use the Quick change procedure for Daniel Senior Orifice Fittings equipped with an O-ring (10E) soft seated valve and for Seniors equipped with a grease-assisted slide valve.

Important

Do not use this procedure if it cannot be finished in less than 15 minutes.

WARNING

TOXIC EXPLOSION HAZARD Do not perform any of the following steps if the Indicator Plate, the Indicator Pointer, or both are not assembled on the Senior. Call Flow Lifecycle Services for Daniel products for assistance in obtaining replacement components, and follow the instructions provided in Commission the Daniel Senior Orifice Fitting.

Improper installation, maintenance or removal could result in explosive or toxic conditions resulting in death or serious injury.

Figure 4-6: Indicator Plate (5A) and Pointer (5B)

NOTICE

Prior to performing any maintenance or Orifice Plate (13) installation and removal operations on the Senior, personnel must visually confirm the presence of the indicator Plate (5A) on the Slide Valve Shaft (5) and the Indicator Pointer (5B) on the Body (4). Both the indicator plate and the indicator pointer must be installed to operate this equipment safely.

In preparation for the plate removal and installation process, the operator must evaluate the meter system to determine the amount of time between the Top (14) fluid evacuation and the plate change to the full replacement of the Clamping Bar (12 or 12HP), the Sealing Bar (9 or 9HP), and the Sealing Bar Gasket (9A, 9A-HP or 9CF) back on the Top (14).

If the operator determines that the time between the Top (14) fluid evacuation and plate change to the full replacement of the Clamping Bar (12 or 12HP), the Sealing Bar (9 or 9HP), and the Sealing Bar Gasket (9A, 9A-HP or 9CF) back on the Top (14) is less than 15 minutes, then the operator may use the "QUICK CHANGE" procedure.

If the operator determines that the time between the Top (14) fluid evacuation and the plate change to the full replacement of the Clamping Bar (12 or 12HP), the Sealing Bar (9 or 9HP), and the Sealing Bar Gasket (9A, 9A-HP or 9CF) back on the Top (14) is greater than 15 minutes, then the operator must use the "EXTENDED TIME" procedure.

If, for any reason, the operator cannot determine the total time between the Top (14) fluid evacuation and the plate change to the full replacement of the Clamping Bar (12 or 12HP), the Sealing Bar (9 or 9HP), and the Sealing Bar Gasket (9A, 9A-HP or 9CF) back on the Top (14), then the operator must use the "EXTENDED TIME" procedure.

DANGER

FLUID EXPLOSION HAZARD Follow the instructions below to avoid inadvertent or accidental opening of the slide valve and the propulsion of fluid or internal components from the Top (14).

Figure 4-19: Step 12

Important

If the addition of grease does not reduce the flow from the open Bleeder Valve (10B) to zero, follow these steps:

• Close the Bleeder Valve (10B),

• Open the Equalizer Valve (1), and move the Slide Valve Shaft (5) from the

CLOSED to the OPEN position, and back to the CLOSED position, repeating this action several times.

• Return the Slide Valve Shaft (5) back to the CLOSED position.

• Close the Equalizer Valve (1) and repeat the lubrication process.

• Open the Bleeder Valve (10B).

If leakage is still present, close the Bleeder Valve (10B) and leave the Slide Valve Shaft (5) in the CLOSED position and schedule maintenance on the Senior.

13. Monitor the fluid/gas pressure in the Top (14) until it is equal to ambient conditions.

Important

Once the Top (14) is equal to ambient conditions, the 15 minute countdown to remove and install the Orifice Plate Carrier (8DM or 8DMC) begins.
