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)

Note

The analog-to-digital conversion accuracy is within ±0.05%
of full scale over the operating temperature range.

Note

AI-1 and AI-2 are electronically isolated and operate in sink
mode. The input contains a series resistance so HART
Communicators can be connected to configure sensors.

A regulated 24 Volt DC power output is available to provide
power to the sensors.

Frequency/Digital Output(s) The outputs have user-configurable selections as either a

frequency output or digital status (FODO) (Also see

Frequency/Digital outputs).

Frequency/Digital Outputs

Channel B Phase options:

• Lag forward, Lead reverse (Phase B lags Phase A while re-

porting forward flow, leads Phase A while reporting reverse
flow)

• Lead forward, Lag reverse (Phase B leads Phase A while re-

porting forward flow, lags Phase A while reporting reverse
flow)

Phase A and Phase B output (based on flow direction)

• Reverse flow - output only reports flow in the reverse di-

rection. 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 di-

rection. 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 fre-

quency 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.

Maximum frequency for the frequency outputs

• 1000Hz

• 5000Hz

Analog Output(s) • (1) 4-20 mA independently configurable analog output

(HART)

• (1) 4-20 mA independently configurable analog output
