Sizing and optimizationThe exact relationship between differential pressure, flow and pressure loss is described by the k-factor, which
depends on the shape and size of the Pitot tube.
The k-factors of the Deltatop Pitot tubes have been determined and verified in elaborate sample calibrations.
Every Pitot tube is shipped with a calculation sheet. The differential pressure, pressure loss, application limits
and further parameters are calculated based on the customer specifications. For this purpose, a form (Sizing
sheet - data sheet, → ä 49) has to be completed. The user does not have to be involved in complicated sizing
calculations.
"Applicator" selection and
sizing tool
Endress+Hauser's Applicator software is a convenient selection and sizing tool for planning processes (for
details, see booklet IN013F). The Applicator program is available free of charge either in the form of a CD or
can be downloaded from the Internet at:
http://www.products.endress.com/applicator
Applicator Sizing Flow
The "Applicator Sizing Flow" module calculates all necessary data for the selected primary device:
• Differential pressure
• Pressure loss
• Measuring uncertainty
• k-factor
• Upstream and downstream straight lengths
• Pressure ratings
• Medium parameters
Additional options
• Sizing sheet - data sheet
• Sizing sheet - calculation sheet
• Determination of the mounting position
Sizing sheet - data sheetTo ensure that the Deltatop measuring point exactly matches the requirements of the process, the completed
"Sizing sheet - data sheet" (→ ä 49) has to be attached to the order.
Endress+Hauser uses the data in this form to determine the optimum configuration of the measuring point.
The "Sizing sheet - data sheet" can be generated by the "Applicator" selection and sizing tool.
Selecting the differential
pressure transmitter and the
measuring cell
If they are ordered together with the primary element, it is possible to order the Deltabar differential pressure
transmitter with a suitable measuring cell and calibration even without knowing the complete calculation data.
Endress+Hauser will select the most suitable measuring cell based on the calculation results for the Pitot tube.
The differential pressure transmitter will be delivered completely configured and preadjusted to the calculated
values.
This allows easy and convenient ordering and commissioning of the measuring point even for less experienced
users.

Temperature and pressure
compensation
Separate process connections
Two additional probes are required for temperature
and pressure compensation:
• An absolute pressure sensor
This sensor must be mounted on the upstream side
of the Pitot tube.
• A temperature probe
In order to avoid disturbances of the flow profile,
this probe must be mounted on the downstream
side of the Pitot tube. The minimum distance
between the Pitot tube and the temperature probe
is 3D.
(D: diameter of the pipe)
Combined process connection for absolute
pressure, differential pressure and temperature
• Versions of the Deltatop DP72B and DP73B units
are available with an integrated Pt100 temperature
probe
• In the case of Deltabar S, an adapter (e.g. oval
flange PZO) can be used to screw a pressure
transmitter or a pressure sensor into the Deltabar S
flange. The absolute pressure sensor must be
mounted at the "+" side of the Deltabar S.

for details see Technical Information TI098R
• For all media:
by a PLC;
In this case the compensation calculation has to be programmed by the user.
Calculation formula for temperature and pressure compensation
The starting point for compensation first has to be defined. The starting point is the calculation sheet which
accompanies every primary element. Layout data for a specific operating condition (pressure and temperature)
can be found on the calculation sheet.
The relationship between flow and differential pressure is described by a square root function:
Q=
m
2 pDr
for the mass flow (or volume flow at normal or standard conditions)
and
Q=
v
2 pD
r
for the volume flow
where
ρ = the density of the medium.
If the current output of the Deltabar transmitter is set to flow values, the square root function is already
implemented. Otherwise the square root function must be computed externally, e.g. in a PLC. Please make
sure that the square root function is not applied twice.
Whenever the real operating conditions differ from the conditions used in the calculation sheet, the density of
the gas will change and thus also the calculated flow rate will change according to the above-mentioned
formula.

The compressibility factor Z can be neglected if its value is close to 1. If the compressibility factor is to be
included in the compensation, the value must be determined according to the pressure and temperature
currently measured. Compressibility factors are available in the corresponding literature in tables or graphs or
can be calculated using the Soave-Redlich-Kwong procedure for example.

Split range (expansion of the
measuring range)
!
!
The square root function has a very steep slope in the vicinity of the zero point. Therefore, the measuring range
is limited from below, which results in an operable flow range of typically 6:1 (max. 12:1).
If the differential pressure is high enough, it is possible to increase the range by connecting multiple differential
pressure transmitters with different measuring ranges.
The following Endress+Hauser devices can be used to evaluate the measuring signals simultaneously:
• Flow and Energy Manager RMS621 for water and steam (see Technical Information TI092R)
• Universal Flow and Energy Computer RMC621 for gases, liquids and steam (see Technical Information
TI098R)
Note!
The maximum available operable flow range depends on the differential pressure available.
Note!
The same method can be used to implement redundant measurements.

Flow measurements in liquids
or steam
"
With liquid or steam applications, the transmitter must be mounted below the pipe. All impulse pipes must be
installed with a slope of at least 1:15 to the process connection - coming from the transmitter. This ensures
that trapped air and bubbles rise back to the process pipe and thus do not influence the measurement.
Caution!
With steam applications, the differential pressure transmitter must be located at a sufficient distance to allow
for cooling to meet the transmitter specification. A typical cooling rate is 100 °F per foot (55 °C per 300 mm).

Flow measurement in gasesWith gas applications, the transmitter must be mounted above the pipe. All impulse pipes must be installed
with a slope of at least 15:1 to the process connection - coming from the transmitter. This ensures that any
condensate flows back into the process pipe and thus does not influence the measurement.

With the compact version of the Deltatop, the Pitot tube, the manifold and the transmitter are delivered readymounted. Additional piping and additional valves are not required. Thus, leakage problems are eliminated.
Remote version
With the remote version of the Deltatop, the Pitot tube, the manifold, the shut-off valves and the transmitter
are delivered separately and must be mounted on site. This version is recommended:
• For high process temperatures which make direct transmitter mounting impossible.
• If the transmitter cannot be mounted directly at the Pitot tube due to space restrictions.
Flow direction• The flow direction is indicated by an arrow on the flange plate (compact version) or on the probe head
(remote version).
• "Mounting left" and "Mounting right" refer to the flow direction (see drawings below).
• For compact versions, the transmitter is mounted in such a way that the display can be read in the specified
mounting position and does not need to be rotated.

In order to ensure a homogeneous flow profile, it is necessary to mount the Pitot tube at a sufficient distance
to narrowings or bends in the pipe. The required upstream and downstream lengths for different types of
obstacles are summarized in the following table:
Type of obstacleMin. upstream lengthMin. downstream length
HomogeneityThe fluid must be homogeneous. Changes of the state of aggregation (liquid, gas, steam) are not
permissible.
The pipe must always be completely filled.

Purge unit
UsageWith flow measurements of waste gases or soiled air, solid particles often settle at the profile of the Pitot tube
and, depending on the degree of soiling, reduce the measuring accuracy or even interfere with the functionality
of the Pitot tube.
In many applications, recurrent manual cleaning of the Pitot tube is not a feasible solution. Demounting the
probe, thorough cleaning and remounting are often too cost-intensive and time-consuming. Furthermore, no
measuring data are available during the cleaning procedure.
The purge unit helps to perform fully automated and effortless cleaning.
The application of a purge unit is recommended for a particle concentration of more than 1.17 gr/yd
(100 mg/m3). The usability of the purge unit is restricted for humid or adhesive solid particles. The maximum
permissible solid content depends on the abrasiveness and size of the particles and has to be examined
separately in each case.
System designThe purge unit consists mainly of a purging block with a 2-way valve which can be directly triggered. A
customer-provided relay or a PLC can be used to trigger the two solenoid valves.

Mounting1.The purge unit is directly mounted to the differential pressure transmitter with the supplied screws and
seals.
2.The vent valves supplied together with the differential pressure transmitter are screwed into the purge
unit. The impulse pipes are mounted on the opposite side of the transmitter. This ensures that not only
the Pitot tube but also the measuring chambers of the differential pressure transmitter are purged and
cleared from any deposit.
3.The connections for the purging air are located at the bottom of the purge unit.

Instructions for completing
the sizing sheet - data sheet
• The order code of a primary element does not completely describe the final device. Further information is
required. The optimized sizing and calculation of the primary element is based on the requested information
about process parameters and pipe dimensions etc. Additionally Endress+Hauser checks if the information
provided matches the order code of the device. Furthermore, the feasibility of the measuring point also has
to be examined. A fully completed questionnaire, including information on the project, order codes and tag
number, ensures the correct assignment of primary elements to differential transmitters and accessories
during order processing.
• The "Sizing sheet - data sheet" can be filled in and printed using the Endress+Hauser Applicator sizing
software. All required data can be entered or are available in the database.
• All fields marked with an asterisk * have to be completed. The order cannot be processed and device
production cannot commence before these points are clarified.
• All parameters have to be filled in with their value and the complete and correct unit (e.g. flow rate in Sm
h and not m3/h for flow at normal conditions).

Req. flowSpecification of the desired measuring range (minimum to maximum) and of the operating point
(nominal). The operable flow range is typically between 1:3 and 1:6 (minimum : maximum). An
operable flow range of more than 1:10 usually requires cascading (split range) of several differential
pressure transmitters (→ ä 8). Too large an operable flow range between the nominal and the
maximum flow can result in an increased measuring uncertainty at the operating point and should
be avoided.

TemperatureTemperature of the fluid at the primary element.yes yes
Fluid propertiesClearly defined liquids and gases, such as steam, oxygen, nitrogen, pure water or ethanol, do not
require further fluid property entries. All necessary information about these data is easily accessible
in the relevant literature. Mixtures (e.g. natural gas) or brand names (e.g. Shell motor oil) do not
provide sufficient information for calculation purposes. More information is required. If the fluid
properties of a mixture are not clear, a list of ingredients and their composition can be attached to
this datasheet for clarification.The Endress+Hauser Applicator sizing tool provides users with a large
medium database with all the necessary fluid properties for a wide variety of fluids.
DensityThe density is an essential input value of the flow calculation. This field must be completed for
mixtures and brand names.
ViscosityThe influence of the viscosity value on the calculation is normally very small but the Reynolds No. is
a function of the viscosity. This may be a limiting factor for the measurement especially with highly
viscous liquids.
Z-factorFor gases only:
The compressibility factor Z has an influence on the density especially at higher pressures and/or
higher temperatures. If the density is given at normal or standard conditions this may have quite a
big impact on the calculation result. If this value is not available, the calculation will be performed
with the factor set to 1 or, in case of clearly defined mixtures, with a factor calculated or estimated
from the ingredients.
Isentropic indexFor gases only:
The isentropic index (or specific heat ratio) is required to calculate the expansion factor. If the value
is not available, the calculation will be performed with standard values:
1.65 for monoatomic gases (e.g. Helium He)
1.4 for diatomic gases (e.g. nitrogen N
1.28 for triatomic gases (e.g. carbon dioxide CO
)

Mounting positionA suitable mounting position in accordance with the situation on site can be chosen by marking the
calculating the differential pressure and determines the length of the probe in the pipe. Incorrect
specifications when ordering result in corresponding measuring errors or may mean that the probe
cannot be mounted properly or cannot be mounted at all. The inner diameter of the pipe is equal to
the length of the probe in the pipe. However, the inner diameter is NOT equal to the nominal
diameter. A pipe of nominal diameter DN200 according to ISO may have inner diameters between
194 mm and 215 mm depending on the pressure rating. For pipes according to ASME, it suffices to
specify the nominal diameter and the schedule number.
With rectangular ducts the inner pipe diameter is replaced by the inner dimensions of the duct
(height and width). These dimensions are used to calculate the cross-sectional area, which is
needed to calculate the differential pressure. The Pitot tube is usually mounted parallel to the longer
side of the rectangular duct. Therefore, this dimension determines the length of the Pitot tube in the
pipe. Incorrect specifications when ordering result in corresponding measuring errors or may mean
that the probe cannot be mounted properly or cannot be mounted at all.
