1.1 Components of the ControlWa ve St a nda rd Gas Flow Measurement Application

The ControlWave standard gas flow measurement application consists of:  A ControlWave project file (*.PRO) pre-programmed for natural gas

measurement.

 A customized flash configuration profile (*.FCP) file that configures

the ports, memory, audit, and archive parameters of the ControlWave GFC/GFC Plus/EFM/XFC/Corrector.

 A TechView session. This includes the TechView session file

(*.TVS), associated *.INI files, and a set of HTM menus customized

Revised Oct-2014 Introduction 1-1

ControlWave Flow Measurement Applications Guide

for the gas measurement application. You use these menus to configure the application.

1.2 Overview of the Standard Gas Flow Measurement Application

The ControlWave standard gas flow measurement application collects static pressure, differential pressure and temperature data and computes flow, energy, and volume for a station.

A station typically refers to a single flow computer and all its associated meter runs. Each meter run refers to measurement of natural gas through a single pipeline.

There are certain variations in the application depending upon which ControlWave model you use. For example, the ControlWave EFM supports up to four meter runs, whereas other models are only configured to support one or two meter runs.

Note: If your ControlWave application requires more than four meter

runs, you should use the Station Manager application instead. See the ControlWave Station Manager Configuration Manual (D5136) for more information.

Similarly, certain input/output (I/O) options only apply to certain models. Common features for all versions of the application are discussed below:

1.2.1 Data Acquisition – Static Pressure, Differential Pressure, Temperature Variables

The application requires these process inputs for orifice measurement:

 static pressure (SP) collected once per second  differential pressure (DP) collected once per second  flowing temperature (T) collected once per second

The application requires these process inputs for measurement using a positive displacement (PD), turbine, or ultrasonic meter:

 static pressure (SP) collected once per second  frequency input collected once per second  flowing temperature (T) collected once per second

The application also collects self-test and compensation variables at intervals of four seconds or less.

Pressure data can come from any of the following sources:  Analog pressure transmitters connected to analog input points on a

process I/O module in the ControlWave flow computer.

 Built-in multivariable transducer.  External multivariable transmitters (Bristol or Rosemount) using

BSAP or Modbus communications through an RS-485 communication port.

1-2 Introduction Revised Oct-2014

ControlWave Flow Measurement Applications Guide

1.2.2 Flow a nd V olume Calculations

Flow and volume calculations conform to American Petroleum Institute (API) and American Gas Association (AGA) standards.

Supported flow calculations include:

 AGA3-1985/NX-19  AGA3-1992 with selectable AGA8 Gross or AGA8 Detail  AGA7/NX-19  AGA7 with selectable AGA8 Gross or AGA8 Detail

 Auto-adjust AGA7/NX-19  Auto-adjust AGA7 with selectable AGA8 Gross or AGA8 Detail

The application performs a complete flow calculation using the process variables every second. Each calculation includes instantaneous rate according to API 14.3, compressibility according to AGA 8 Detail or Gross method, and updates of all volumes, totals, and archive averages.

1.2.3 Flow Ra t e a nd Flow Time Cal c ulations (AGA3)

For orifice flow measurement, the application compares the differential pressure value to a low flow cutoff value every second. If the differential pressure falls below the low flow cutoff value, flow is considered to be zero for that second. Hourly and daily flow time is defined to be the number of seconds for which the differential pressure exceeded the cutoff value for the period.

The values for static and differential pressure and temperature are used as inputs to the flow equations. You can select API 14.3 (AGA3, 1992) and AGA8 calculations, with compressibility calculations according to AGA Report No. 8, 1992 (with 1993 errata). The application supports both the detail method and the two gross methods of characterization described in AGA 8. Users may also select the AGA3, 1995 and NX-19 flow equations to calculate the rate of flow.

1.2.4 Flow Ra t e a nd Flow Time Cal c ulations (AGA7)

When using PD meters, turbine meters or ultrasonic meters, the application calculates flow rate by applying the correction factor computed by the AGA7 calculations to the frequency of the input pulses. When the frequency drops below 1 Hz, the application sets the flow rate estimate to zero; however, volume calculations still accumulate. The flow time recorded is the time for which the flow rate is non-zero.

Revised Oct-2014 Introduction 1-3

ControlWave Flow Measurement Applications Guide

1.2.5 Extension Calc ulation and Analog Averaging

For orifice meters, the application calculates the flow extension every second. The extension is the square root of the product of the absolute upstream static pressure times the differential pressure. This extension is used in the flow rate calculation. When there is no flow, the application reports the arithmetic averages of static pressure and temperature. This allows you to monitor static pressure and temperature during shut-in periods.

1.2.6 Energy Calculation

The application offers the option of using a fixed volumetric heating value or calculating the energy content of the gas according to AGA Report No.

1.2.7 Volume and Energy Integration

The application integrates and accumulates volume and energy at the end of every calculation cycle. The application calculates the volume for a cycle by multiplying the calculated rate by the flow time for that cycle. The application calculates the energy for a cycle by multiplying the volume at base conditions by the heating value.

1.2.8 Downstream Pressure Tap

The multivariable transducer typically measures static pressure from an integral tap on the upstream, high-pressure leg of the differential pressure connection. The transducer can also measure static pressure at the downstream pressure tap, with the measurement taken from the lowpressure side to the high-pressure side. In this installation, the differential signal from the transducer is negative. If, while using the integral smart multivariable transmitter (MVT) or an external MVT, you select the downstream tap location during MVT configuration, the MVT firmware changes the sign of the differential pressure to provide a positive DP value.

1.2.9 Historical Data Storage (Audit Records/ Archive Files)

The ControlWave supports two distinct types of historical data storage – audit records and archive files.

Where feasible, both forms of archive data conform to the requirements of the API Chapter 21. Specifically, the averages of the process variables stored in the data archive are for flowing periods, appropriate to their usage in the equations, and any gas-related parameter designated an event that is changed by an operator either remotely or locally causes an entry in the audit log.

1-4 Introduction Revised Oct-2014

ControlWave Flow Measurement Applications Guide

Audit Records (Alarms and Events)

The audit system maintains a history of alarms and certain events that have an impact on the calculated and reported gas flow rates and volumes.

The application stores 500 e entries. to prevent recurring alarms from overwriting events

You can configure the application to support the "breaking" of a log period when an operator-changes a parameter. When this occurs, the log period in process closes out to make a log, and a new log begins.

Hourly Historical Data Log

Each meter run maintains an hourly data log that holds one record for every contract hour. Hourly logs hold 840 entries or 35 days; this ensures that the previous period of hourly data is always resident in flash memory.

The hourly data log stores the following items:

 corrected volume  uncorrected volume  accumulated energy  average static pressure  average temperature  average differential pressure

Revised Oct-2014 Introduction 1-5

ControlWave Flow Measurement Applications Guide

 average specific gravity  average heating value  flow time  uncorrected count

Daily Historical Data Log

Each meter run maintains a daily data log that holds one record for every contract gas day. You can change the contract hour the contract gas day starts at some time other than midnight. The daily log holds 62 entries; this ensures that the previous calendar month of daily data is always resident in flash memory.

The daily data log stores the following items:

 corrected volume  uncorrected volume  accumulated energy  average static pressure  average temperature  average differential pressure  average specific gravity  average heating value  flow time  uncorrected count

Periodic Historical Data Log

Each meter run maintains a periodic data log that holds one record for every log interval. Each log interval is 15 minutes. The periodic historical data log holds 1440 records, or four days of 15 minute data.

The periodic historical data log stores the following items:

 flowing differential pressure  flowing static pressure  flowing temperature  frequency

1.2.10 Run Switc hing

If you use multiple meter runs in the application, you can configure run switching. Run switching (also known as meter run staging or tube switching) allows changes to the number of meter runs currently active to meet the gas flow demand for the station. See Section 4.15 for more information.

Logs Tab

Samplers are external devices which measure the quality of the gas stream. Because natural gas is odorless and colorless, devices called odorizers

inject an additive to the gas stream that allows people to detect the presence of natural gas in the event of a gas leak.

For information on configuring the application to work with a sampler or odorizer, see Section 4.11.

1.2.12 Chromatograph Interface

If you use a chromatograph to measure gas component information you can integrate this into the application. You can also specify fixed gas component percentages to use if the chromatograph fails. See Section 4.10 for more information.

1.2.13 Nominations

Nominations allow you to configure the ControlWave flow computer to allocate precise amounts of gas flow during specific time periods, called nomination periods. See Section 4.13 for more information.

Selecting the Type of

Measurement

Click

For a particular meter run, you have a choice of one of three possible types of measurement: Click the button that corresponds to the type of meter you use on this meter run.

 Differential Measurement - Select this if you have an orifice type

meter for this meter run. This uses either the 1992 AGA3 equation (see Section 4.8.1) or the 1985 AGA3 equation (see Section 4.8.2).

 Linear Measurement - Select this if you have a linear type meter

(ultrasonic, turbine, auto-adjust, or positive displacement) for this meter run. This uses the AGA7 equation (see Section 4.8.3).

 Coriolis Measurement - Select this if you have a coriolis meter for

this meter run (see Section 4.8.4).
