6 Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter

1.6 Daniel 3410 series meter design

Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meters are designed to accurately measure
products in applications where reliable performance is critical, by measuring the difference
in signal transit time with and against the flow across one or more measurement path(s). A
signal transmitted in the flow direction 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 3417 Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter is a redundant 4-path meter design based on the
Daniel 3414 model. It has two 4-path British Gas meters in one body, where the second
coplanar 4-path meter mirrors the first and provides the same level of accuracy. Each
meter utilizes an independent set of four direct (cross-bore), parallel-plane measurement
paths that offer a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. Both meters offer bi­directional measurement and superior low-flow capabilities, without the compromises
associated with conventional technologies.

Daniel 3416 Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter is a custody meter and check meter in one body.
The primary custody meter is a 4-path British Gas meter design based on the Daniel 3414
model. The custody meter is independent and utilizes four direct (cross-bore), parallel­plane measurement paths that offer a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. The
secondary check meter uses reflective (bounce) paths rather than direct chordal paths and

Installation manual 7

Introduction

utilizes a single-path for the check measurement and an additional diagnostic path
designed to provide information about the bottom of the pipe. The single check
measurement path is positioned at 30 degrees off vertical while the diagnostic path is
vertical. All measurement paths measure the difference in signal transit time with and
against the flow.

Daniel 3415 Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter is a custody meter and check meter in one body.
The primary custody meter is a 4-path British Gas meter design based on the Daniel 3414
model. The custody meter is independent and utilizes four direct (cross-bore), parallel­plane measurement paths that offer a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. The
secondary check meter uses a single reflective (bounce) path rather than direct chordal
paths for measurement and is positioned at 30 degrees off vertical. All measurement paths
measure the difference in signal transit time with and against the flow.

The Daniel Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter design is available with an optional glass end cap and
a local display.

Introduction

Model 3415/3416/3417 Dual Configuration Gas Ultrasonic Meter co-located meter heads
can be configured to share flow data to improve meter diagnostics. Data sharing can be
setup via Ethernet between the two co-located transmitter heads. Meters will share
measurement data and provide comparison for SOS and Meter flow velocity.

Figure 1-4:

Dual configuration meter data sharing connections with Expansion I/O
Module

Daniel Model 3415/16/17 Dual Configuration Meters can be connected to customer
infrastructure via single Ethernet or Serial connection when Expansion I/O Module is
installed and ethernet connection wired locally between Head 1 and Head 2.

Introduction

Daniel Model 3415/16/17 Dual Configuration Meters can be connected to customer
infrastructure through separate Ethernet connections to each head. Expansion I/O Module
is not required for data sharing. Data sharing connection will occur through the external
user network connection.

Note

Model 3415 does not have the vertical bounce path (see Daniel 3415 description)

NOTICE

For optimal flow measurement conditions, Daniel suggests the piping configurations below.
Regardless of the configuration selected, the user agrees to accept full responsibility for the
site piping design and installation.

Flow conditioning is recommended for best measurement results

• Honed or un-honed meter tube(s)

• Flow direction (unidirectional or bidirectional)

• Correct meter size selection - too low may cause poor flow stability (thermal

convection or too fast may cause erosion problems and resonance, cracks or failure
of probes or thermowells (approximately 0.3 to 30 m/sec or 1 to 100 ft/sec).

• Space availability for meter lengths (to allow inlet piping customization):

Important

The bore of the mating piping should be within 1% of the meter inside diameter.

back cover of this manual.

Meter safety for hoist rings and lifting slings

A Daniel Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter can be safely lifted and maneuvered into and out of a
meter run for installation or service by obeying the following instructions.

Installation manual 33

Mechanical installation

WARNING!

DANGER TO PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT

Lifting a Daniel Ultrasonic Meter with other equipment

The following lifting instructions are for installation and removal of the Daniel Ultrasonic Meter
ONLY. The instructions below do not address lifting the Daniel ultrasonic meter while it is
attached, bolted, or welded to meter tubes, piping, or other fittings.

Using these instructions to maneuver the Daniel Ultrasonic Meter while it is still attached,
bolted, or welded to a meter tube, piping, or other fitting may result in equipment damage,
serious injury, or death.

The operator must refer to their company's hoisting and rigging standards, or the "DOE­STD-1090-2004 Hoisting and Rigging" standard if such company standards do not exist, for
lifting and maneuvering any assembled meter tube and associated piping.

WARNING!

CRUSHING HAZARD
During meter installation or removal, always place the unit on a stable platform or surface that
supports its assembled weight.

Failure to comply could allow the meter to roll, resulting in serious injury or equipment
damage.

NOTICE

Prior to lifting the unit, refer to the Daniel 3415, 3416, or 3417 Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter
nameplate or outline dimensional (general arrangement) drawing for the assembled weight.

When lifting a Daniel Ultrasonic Meter by itself, Daniel recommends two methods. These
methods are:

• Using appropriately rated Safety Engineered Swivel Hoist Rings installed in the

Daniel Ultrasonic Meter end flanges.

• Using appropriately rated lifting slings positioned at designated areas of the Daniel

Ultrasonic Meter.

Both methods must be used in conjunction with all appropriate company hoisting and
rigging standards or the DOE-STD-1090-2004 HOISTING AND RIGGING standard if such
company standards do not exist. Refer to the following sections for more information on
these two methods.

Use of appropriate safety engineered swivel hoist rings in meter end flanges

Daniel Ultrasonic meters come equipped with a tapped hole located on the top of each
meter body end flange. A flat machined surface surrounds each tapped hole. This feature
provides complete surface contact ONLY between the meter flange and an OSHA
compliant

34 Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter

Mechanical installation

Operators SHALL NOT use Eye Bolts (see ) in the Daniel Ultrasonic Meter flange tapped
holes to aid in lifting or maneuvering the unit.

Operators SHALL NOT use other Hoist Rings that do not fully seat flush with the counter
bore on the top of the meter flanges.

Safety precautions using safety engineered swivel hoist rings

Read and follow the Safety Precautions listed below.

1. Meters must only be lifted by personnel properly trained in the safe practices of
rigging and lifting.

2. Remove the plug bolts installed in the tapped holes on the top of the flanges. Do not
discard the bolts as they must be reinstalled once the lifting operation is complete
to prevent corrosion of the tapped holes.

3. Make sure the tapped holes on the meter are clean and free of debris before
installing the hoist rings.

4. Use only the safety engineered swivel hoist rings that are rated for lifting the meter.
Do not use any other type of hoist rings with the same screw size or heavy duty hoist
rings. The meter tapping and counter bore size are suitable only for the hoist rings
specified by Daniel.

5. When installing a hoist ring, make sure the base surface of the hoist ring fully
contacts the machined flat surface of the tapped hole. If the two surfaces do not
come in contact then the hoist ring will not hold its full rated load. Torque the hoist
ring attachment bolts to the limit indicated on the hoist rings.

6. After installation of the hoist rings, always check that the ring rotates and pivots
freely in all directions.

7. NEVER attempt to lift the meter using only one hoist ring.

8. Always use separate slings to each hoist ring. NEVER reeve one sling through both
hoist rings. The slings must be of equal length. Each sling must have a load rating
that equals or exceeds the hoist ring load rating. The angle between the two slings
going to the hoist rings must never exceed 90 degrees or the load rating of the hoist
rings will be exceeded.

Installation manual 37

Mechanical installation

Correct sling attachment for Shell Shroud metersFigure 2-13:

9. NEVER allow the slings to contact the electronics enclosure. Damage to the
enclosure may occur. Use a spreader bar with the slings to prevent contact with the
electronics enclosure and the base enclosure (see Figure 2-12). If the slings do come
in contact with the electronic enclosure then remove the two bolts holding the
enclosure to its base and temporarily remove the head from the meter during the
lifting operation. You will need to unplug the cable from J3 on the Acquisition
Module. Two screws hold this cable in place.

a. Once the lifting operation is complete, reattach and secure the electronics cable

to J3 on the Acquisition Module, return the electronics enclosure to its original
position, replace the bolts, and secure the enclosure in place.

b. Lifting the meter with the upper enclosure installed but without the bolts

installed, may cause the electronics to fall and cause personal injury or
equipment damage.

Incorrect sling attachmentFigure 2-14:

10. NEVER apply shock loads to the meter. Always lift the meter gradually. If shock
loading ever occurs, the hoist ring must be inspected per manufacturer's
recommendations prior to any further service. If a proper inspection cannot be
performed, discard the hoist ring.

11. NEVER lift with any device, such as hooks, chains, or cables that could create side
pulls that could damage the ring of the hoist ring.

12. NEVER lift more than the ultrasonic meter assembly including electronics and
transducers with the hoist rings. The only exception that safe is to lift the meter with
one ASME B16.5 or ASME B16.47 blind flange bolted to each end flange of the

meter. NEVER use the hoist rings on the meter to lift other components such as
meter tubes, piping or fittings attached to the meter. Doing so will exceed the load
rating of the hoist rings.

13. Remove the hoist rings from the meter after lifting is completed and store them in
an appropriate case or container per their manufacturer's recommendation.

14. Apply heavy lubricant or anti-seize to the threads of the plug bolts and reinstall the
plug bolts to keep the tapped holes free of debris and to prevent corrosion.

Appropriately rated lifting slings

The following instructions are intended to provide general guidelines for using proper
lifting slings when lifting a Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter by itself. These
instructions are intended to be followed in addition to your company's standards or the
DOE-STD-1090-2004 Hoisting and Rigging standard if such company standards do not
exist.

Safety precautions using appropriate rated lifting slings

1. Meters must only be lifted by personnel properly trained in the safe practices of
rigging and lifting.

2. NEVER attempt to lift the meter by wrapping slings around the electronics
enclosure.

3. NEVER attempt to lift the meter using only one sling around the meter. Always use
two slings wrapped around each end of the body as shown below. A choker style
sling is recommended.

Installation manual 41

Mechanical installation

Correct sling attachmentFigure 2-15:

4. Visually inspect the slings prior to use for any signs of abrasion or other damage.
Refer to the sling manufacturer's procedures for proper inspection of the particular
sling you are using.

5. Only use slings with ratings that exceed the weight to be lifted. Reference your
company's standards for safety factors that must be included when calculating the
load rating.

42 Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter

Mechanical installation

6. NEVER allow the slings to contact the electronics enclosure or the transducer
cabling. Damage to the meter may occur. If the slings do come in contact with the
electronics enclosure, then remove the two bolts holding the enclosure to its base
and temporarily remove the head from the meter during the lifting operation
(Remove the two bolts holding the enclosure to its base and unplug the cable from
the Acquisition Module. Two screws hold this cable in place.) Use a spreader-bar on
the slings to prevent contact with the electronics.

7. Once the lifting operation is complete, reattach and secure the electronics cable to
J3 on the Acquisition Module, return the electronics enclosure to its original
position, replace the bolts, and secure the enclosure in place. Lifting the meter with
the upper enclosure installed but without the bolts installed, may cause the
electronics to fall and cause personal injury or electronics damage.

Incorrect sling attachmentFigure 2-16:

8. NEVER apply shock loads to the meter. Always lift the meter gradually. If shock
loading ever occurs, the slings must be inspected per manufacturer's procedures
prior to being placed in any further service.

Installation manual 43

Mechanical installation

2.5 Mounting requirements in heated or cooled pipelines

The ambient operating temperature of the Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter
electronics (i.e. Flameproof enclosure and Intrinsically safe base enclosure) is -40° C (-40° F)
to +60° C (+140° F).

The electronics mounting bracket thermally isolates the heated or cooled meter body
from the electronics. Thus the process fluid can be outside operating the electronics
temperature.

T-21 transducers have an operating range from -20° C ( -4° F) to +100° C (+212° F). T-22
and T-41 transducers have an operating range from -50° C (-58° F) to +100° C (+212° F).

CAUTION!

SURFACE TEMPERATURE HAZARD

The meter body and piping may be extremely hot or cold.

Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when coming in contact with the meter.
Failure to comply may result in injury.

3.1 Cable length TTL mode

The maximum cable length is 2000 feet when the Digital Output “TTL” mode is selected.

Electrical installation

3.2 Cable length Open Collector mode

For the Digital Output “open collector” mode, the maximum cable length depends on the
cable parameters, pull-up resistance used, the maximum frequency to output, and
frequency input parameters being driven. The following table provides estimated cable
lengths for different pull-up resistor values and different Max Frequency settings in the
meter using the following cable parameters. The table also provides an estimated cable
voltage drop which indicates how much voltage will be across the cabling and effectively
indicates to what voltage level the frequency input can be pulled down to by the frequency
output.

If the voltage drop is higher than the voltage required for the frequency input to see a low
state, then the configuration will most likely not work for your system. Performance of
frequency outputs will vary from this table with setup and frequency input being driven.

3.5 Wiring and I/O

Daniel MeterLink uses the TCP/IP protocol to communicate with the Daniel 3410 Series
Ultrasonic Gas Flow Meter electronics instead of Modbus ASCII or RTU. The TCP/IP protocol
only works across either Ethernet, RS-485 full duplex (4-wire) or RS-232. Daniel MeterLink
can communicate with multiple meters if they are multi-dropped using 4-wire, full duplex
RS-485 mode. The meter electronics is HART capable and provides communication
flexibility with Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meters.

Note

Port B for RS-485 full duplex communication is not supported.

Electrical installation

3.5.1

The HART® output provides communication with other field devices (e.g., Field
Communicator and AMS™ Device Manager software) and ultimately, communicates key
diagnostic information through PlantWeb® architecture.

NOTICE

If not using Ethernet, a full duplex serial connection is necessary for Daniel MeterLink to
communicate with a Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Meter.

The Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter electronics auto-detects the protocol
used and automatically switches between TCP/IP, Modbus ASCII, and Modbus RTU so it is
not necessary to make any meter configuration changes to the protocol.

CPU Module labeling and LED indicators

The meter’s metrology mode and the status of the data transfer from the Acquisition
Module to the CPU Module are indicated via light-emitting diode (LED) status indicators.
The WRITE PROT. switch protects the meter’s configuration.

Ethernet communications

The Ethernet port IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address are software­configurable. In addition, a meter can be configured to act as a DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) server to assign an IP address to a PC or laptop running Daniel
MeterLink. The DHCP server facility is not intended to act as a general purpose DHCP
server for a wider network. To this end, no user control is provided over the class or range
of IP addresses the unit provides. A standard twisted pair (Cat-5) cable should be used for
Ethernet wiring.

It is strongly recommended that the meter be configured using an independent (off­network) single host. After configuration of the Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow
Meter, the DHCP option must be turned off if used on a LAN/WAN.

NOTICE

RESTRICTED ETHERNET AND SERIAL CONNECTIVITY USAGE

Failure to restrict Ethernet and communication access to the Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow
Meter can result in, among other things, unauthorized access, system corruption, and/or data loss.

User is responsible for ensuring that physical access and Ethernet or electronic access to the
Daniel 3410 Series Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter is appropriately controlled and any necessary
security precautions are implemented; such as, establishing a firewall, setting password
permissions and/or implementing security levels.

Alternate Modbus TCP port.

Alternate Modbus TCP port: Enter the alternate TCP port number here after selecting
Enable alternate modbus TCP port. Valid port numbers are from 1 to 65535. The meter will
not allow some port numbers that are either used by the meter or are defined port
numbers for other protocols. Daniel MeterLink™ will prompt you if it was not able to write
the specified port number to the meter.

60 Gas Ultrasonic Flow Meter

Electrical installation

Serial connections

Use a serial cable, Daniel P/N 3-2500-401, to connect to a PC running Daniel MeterLink.
The cable is designed for RS-232 communications which is the serial Port A default
configuration (see Section A.1 field wiring diagram, Daniel Drawing DMC-005324). The
DB-9 end of the cable plugs directly into the PC running Daniel MeterLink. The three wires
on the other end of the cable connect to the CPU Module RS-485/RS-232 terminals. The
RED wire goes to RX, the WHITE wire goes to TX, and the BLACK wire goes to COM (see
Table 3-6 for Port A wiring). RS-485, 2-wire connection on Port A, uses TX+ and TX- on the
CPU Module and has a ground wire.

When Beldon wire No. 9940 or equivalent is used, the maximum cable length for RS-232
communications at 9600 bps is 88.3 meters (250 ft.) and the maximum cable length for
RS-485 communication at 57600 bps is 600 meters (1970 ft.).

Port A supports a special override mode which forces the port to use known
communication values (19200 baud, address 32, RS-232). Note that the protocol is auto­detected. This mode is expected to be used during meter commissioning (to establish
initial communication) and in the event that the user cannot communicate with the meter
(possibly due to an inadvertent communication configuration change). Alternately, when
using Daniel MeterLink with an Ethernet port, use Ethernet cable, Daniel P/N
1-360-01-596, to connect the PC.
