Installation Manual 1
Planning
Make sure that the process gas meets the recommended characteristics regarding
composition, temperature, and pressure for your installation.
Verify that you have all equipment necessary for your installation. Depending on
your application, you may be required to install additional parts for optimal performance of the meter.
Follow recommended best practices for installing the GDM to account for the
effects of density, temperature, and pressure equilibrium.

1.2 Best practices

The following information can help you get the most from your meter.
Handle the meter with care. Follow local practices for lifting or moving the meter.
Ensure that the process gas is clean and dry.
Do not use gases incompatible with the materials of construction. To prevent
corrosion of the sensing element, the process gas should be compatible with Ni-Span-C.
Do not expose the meter to excessive vibration (greater than 0.5 g continuously).
Vibration levels in excess of 0.5 g can affect the meter accuracy.
Perform a Known Density Verification (KDV) check of the meter prior to installing
the meter in your system.
Installing the meter in a bypass configuration allows you to remove the meter for
servicing or calibration without affecting the main pipeline.
Install the meter in a thermo-well pocket to ensure the temperature of the sample
gas is equal to that of the pipeline gas. Micro Motion thermo-well pocket kits are available for purchase.
Minimize the length and volume of the input sample pipe to ensure an optimal
meter response time. Use 6 mm (1/4 in) instrument tubing and low-volume inlet filters.
Control gas flow with a needle valve mounted before or after the meter, depending
on the installation.
Install an external coalescing filter in the sample gas inlet pipework to minimize
condensate and dust contamination.
Verify that the filters in your system are not causing any excessive flow restrictions.
Verify that the pressure of the process gas is approximately equal to the pipeline
pressure.
Do not exceed more than a 10% reduction of the cross-sectional area at the point of
insertion in the pipeline to ensure minimal effect on pressure.
Ensure that the meter and associated pipework are pressure-tested to 1½ times the
maximum operating pressure after installation.
Install thermal insulation to the meter and the inlet and bypass-loop pipeline to
maintain temperature equilibrium between the sample and pipeline gases. Do not insulate the transmitter (electronics) and maintain a nominal 1-in clearance between the insulation and the transmitter housing.

Recommended operating flow rate
Use the smallest acceptable flow rate for the process gas passing through the meter. This ensures a sample gas flow rate that is representative of the main flow with regard to the proportions of different gas constituents.
Micro Motion recommends a gas flow rate of 5 ±1 l/hr (0.176 ±0.35 ft3/hr), although a flow rate between 1 to 10 l/hr (0.035 to 0.35 ft3/hr) is acceptable.
At flow rates greater than 10 l/hr (0.35 ft3/hr), the density reading can become slightly unstable and may introduce a small density error. For natural gas with a typical application density of approximately 0.06 g/cm3 (60 kg/m3), a pressure differential of approximately
1.66 mbar (0.67 in WC) is required to maintain a flow rate of 5 l/hr (0.176 ft3/hr) .

1.6 Recommended installations for gas density applications

Micro Motion recommends specific installations for the GDM depending on the gas density application – as defined by international standards, ISO 5167 and AGA 3. This information is provided for your reference only.

1.6.1 Installation in an orifice plate metering system

The orifice plate metering system is a widely used method for accurate flow measurement of natural gas. The orifice meter is a differential pressure device in which the orifice plate causes a pressure drop between the upstream and downstream sides. The flow rate is determined from the dimensions of the system (as defined by international standards ISO 5167 and AGA 3), and from measurements of differential pressure and fluid density.
6 Micro Motion® Gas Density Meters
Planning
Meter installation in a pressure recovery application
The most common location for a density device in an orifice plate metering system is downstream from the orifice plate. This installation is commonly referred to as the pressure recovery method. The pressure recovery method allows an optimal gas flow rate, and provides easy access for checking filters and verifying the meter calibration.
Tip
Use 6-mm (1/4-in) instrument tubing for the gas input pipework. Use 12-mm (1/2-in) insertion tubing for the gas return pipework.

Note
Do not insulate the transmitter (electronics) and maintain a nominal 1-in clearance between the insulation and the transmitter housing.
With the pressure recovery installation method:
No bypass of the orifice plate is necessary.
Density is measured at the downstream tapping of the orifice plate, which reduces
the significance of pressure build-up across the fine-gauge filters.
Flow is achieved because the pressure after the orifice plate is lower than that
further downstream.
8 Micro Motion® Gas Density Meters
Planning
Pressure drops through the valves and filters do not affect the reading. The pressure
inside the meter and at the gas outlet is equal to the pressure at the orifice downstream point.
The correct expansion factor for the downstream point is used in the orifice flow
calculations.
The measured density at the density point is used in the mass flow calculation, as
defined by ISO 5167 and AGA 3.
Meter installation in differential pressure application
An alternative to the downstream installation method is the upstream installation method, as defined by AGA 3. This method is also known as the differential pressure method, which is optimal for orifice plate metering. A disadvantage of this installation is that the sample gas flow is not measured because it bypasses the orifice plate.

Note
Do not insulate the transmitter (electronics) and maintain a nominal 1-in clearance between the insulation and the transmitter housing.
With the differential pressure installation method:
The process gas flow bypasses the meter, but should be low enough [for example,
5 lt/hrs (0.176 ft3/hr)] to not be of significance.
The measured density is the upstream density.
The control valve and the flowmeter can be mounted on either side of the meter to
suit the installation and dependent on where the density point is.
10 Micro Motion® Gas Density Meters
Tip
To avoid excessive pressure drops in your sample pipeline, be sure to monitor the condition of the filters. Do this by varying the sample flow rate and monitoring the magnitude of the resultant density changes. Pressure drops through the filters can cause density errors if they become too large.

1.6.2 Meter installation in a vented gas application

The vented gas method allows the gas to be vented to flare or, in some cases, to atmosphere. With this method, the full-pipe pressure is available as a pressure drop. For high-pressure applications, a two-stage letdown system may be required to prevent icing.
CAUTION!
Because the full-pipe pressure is available as a pressure drop, ensure that the flow is adequately controlled by the control valve.

1.6.3 Meter installation in an ultrasonic meter application

To use the GDM with a full-bore ultrasonic meter, Micro Motion recommends that you install a Rosemount Annubar® flowmeter downstream from the ultrasonic meter as a means to provide differential pressure.
The following diagram shows a Rosemount Annubar meter installed to provide differential pressure for the measurement system. This type of installation method does not require sample gas to be vented to atmosphere. The Annubar and GDM must be installed a specific distance downstream from the ultrasonic meter in your pipeline. Refer to all manufacturer guidelines for best practices or recommendations for installing the meters in your system.

Available output terminals and wiring requirements

Hazardous area output wiring

3.1 Available output terminals and wiring requirements
Three pairs of wiring terminals are available for transmitter outputs. These outputs vary depending on your transmitter output option ordered. The Analog (mA), Time Period Signal (TPS), and Discrete (DO) outputs require external power, and must be connected to an independent 24 VDC power supply.
The screw connectors for each output terminal accept a maximum wire size of 14 AWG (2.5 mm2).

Wiring

Important
Output wiring requirements depend on the hazardous area classification of the environment
in which the meter is installed. It is your responsibility to verify that this installation meets all corporate, local, and national safety requirements and electrical codes.
If you will configure the meter to poll an external temperature or pressure device, you must
wire the mA output to support HART communications. You may use either HART/mA single­loop wiring or HART multi-drop wiring.

Grounding

4 Grounding
The meter must be grounded according to the standards that are applicable at the site. The customer is responsible for knowing and complying with all applicable standards.
Prerequisites
Micro Motion suggests the following guides for grounding practices:
In Europe, EN 60079-14 is applicable to most installations, in particular Sections
12.2.2.3 and 12.2.2.4.
In the U.S.A. and Canada, ISA 12.06.01 Part 1 provides examples with associated
applications and requirements.
For IECEx installations, IEC 60079-14 is applicable.
If no external standards are applicable, follow these guidelines to ground the meter:
Use copper wire, 18 AWG (0.75 mm2) or larger wire size.
Keep all ground leads as short as possible, less than 1 Ω impedance.
Connect ground leads directly to earth, or follow plant standards.
CAUTION!
Ground the meter to earth, or follow ground network requirements for the facility. Improper grounding can cause measurement error.
Procedure
Check the joints in the pipeline.
- If the joints in the pipeline are ground-bonded, the sensor is automatically grounded
and no further action is necessary (unless required by local code).
- If the joints in the pipeline are not grounded, connect a ground wire to the grounding
screw located on the sensor electronics.
