Installation Procedure

2.3 Installation planning

When planning the installation of a meter, it is important to consider the following factors:
Table 2-2. Installation considerations
Safety
Serviceability
When installing in a process line, it is important that the construction material of the wetted parts (tube) is matched to the non-corrosive performance of the liquid passing through the instrument. Failure to observe this requirement can cause deterioration of the central tube (the bellows) and loss in measurement accuracy, or even a failure if leaking occurs. For advice on which meter in the range is appropriate, please contact Micro Motion.
The NI-SPAN-C material of the central tube is not rated for ‘sour’ service as defined in NACE specification MR0103-2005. For advice in this application, please contact Micro Motion.
Installing the meter in a by-pass configuration allows it to be removed for servicing or calibration without affecting the main pipeline. Possible by-pass configurations are shown in Figure 2-3.

following points should be considered:
• The liquid must always be at a pressure substantially above its vapor pressure.
• All pipe-work couplings and joints must be airtight.
• No vortex should be present at the inlet to the meter.
• Cavitations, caused by pumping, should not generate bubbles from dissolved gases.
• If a pump is used it should ‘push’ rather than ‘pull’ the product through the meter.
be mounted vertically or at an incline, with the flow in an upwards direction.
• If the liquid contains solid particles, the direction of flow should be upwards unless the particles are large enough not to be carried with the flow, in which case the direction of flow should be reversed.
• The meter should be mounted with the electric cable running downwards thereby minimizing the ingress of water should a cable gland become defective.
temperature equilibrium and have a self-cleaning action. A low flow rate, for example 1000 liters/hour (3.7 gal/min.), is recommended if the product contains particles which may cause erosion. The meters exhibit a small flow dependent density reading. For flow rates up to 15000 liters/hour (55 gal/min) and assuming no consequent line pressure or product changes, the maximum density offset will be less than 0.2 kg/m

2.6 Calculation of pressure drop in the meter

The meter should be considered as a straight pipe of 23.6 mm (0.929”) internal diameter and 1.03 m (40.551”) in length. The following formula has been proven to apply to the meter by measurements at 12000 liters/hour (44 gal/min).
Where:
h = Pressure drop (bars)
f = Friction coefficient
L = Pipe length (m) = 1.03 mm
D = Internal pipe diameter (mm) = 23.6 mm
V = Mean fluid velocity (m/s)

In addition to the pressure drop caused by the liquid flow through the instrument, it will be necessary to calculate the pressure drop in any associated sample pipework before concluding the system design requirements.

2.7 Post-installation checks

After installation, the meter should be pressure tested to 1.5 times the maximum working pressure of the system but not to a value exceeding the meter test figure shown on the meter label.
If the pressure test figure is exceeded, the meter may be irrevocably damaged.

3.1 General

This chapter describes the electrical installation of the 7835 Explosion Proof Liquid Density meters with Standard Electronics fitted.

3.2 MID (2004/22/EC) Requirements

To comply with the MID (2004/22/EC) directive:
Unused cable ports must be sealed with suitably rated blanking plugs.
After commissioning or maintenance of the meter, you must seal the enclosure cover to secure legally relevant parameters from unauthorized modification.
See Section 3.2.1 for more information on securing the meter from unauthorized access to the meter controls.
Installation Procedure Calibration and PerformanceElectrical Connections (Standard)Introduction

3.2.1 Securing the meter for MID

To seal the meter from unauthorized access after commissioning or maintenance, Micro Motion has provided additional holes on the electronics housing cover to attach a locking wire to the transmitter cover. The securing component must bear the mark as laid down by the national inspection authority. Figure 3-1 illustrates the suggested method for sealing the meter.
Note: When installing the meter in a MID measuring system, you must consider the method in which the system will be verified to meet MID requirements. This method may impact the design of the measurement system, and we recommend you involve the national inspection authority early in the design process.

Calibration and Performance

4.1 General

The 7835 Explosion Proof Liquid Density meter is calibrated at the factory and is supplied with its own test and calibration certificate (see Appendix C for examples). This certificate specifies the various calibration constants that allow the user to convert the output periodic time signal from the meter into a density value.

4.2 Interpretation of calibration certificate

4.2.1 General density equation

The basic meter constants, K0, K1, and K2 are computed from the factory calibration on three fluids. Using these constants and the general density equation, the density of the liquid within the meter can be calculated.
Installation Procedure Calibration and PerformanceElectrical Connections (Standard)Introduction
It is stated on the calibration certificate that the basic constants are determined from a calibration at a temperature of 20 °C (68 °F) and at a pressure of 1 bar (14.5 psi). If the operating conditions of the meter differ from that of the calibration conditions, a correction to the density calculated using the general equation is required.

4.2.2 Temperature correction

If the meter operates at temperatures other than 20 °C (68 °F), a correction to the density calculated using equation (1) must be made using the temperature coefficient data given on the calibration certificate.

4.2.3 Pressure correction

The meter design has a unique facility to reduce the influence of the line pressure on the density measurement but there is a residual effect for which correction may be required. This residual pressure effect before a pressure correction is illustrated for the 7835 Exd meter in the following figures.

During the calibration of the meter, which is normally performed at a pressure of 1 bar (14.5 psi), the pressure influence is also measured. This data is also shown on the calibration certificate (see Appendix C).
Note: K20A, K20B, K21A, and K21B are the pressure coefficient constants on the calibration certificate.
Note: The pressure correction is further enhanced on units that operate above 41 bar (595 psi) by having sets of pressure coefficient constants covering subsets of the full operating pressure range. Only one set of pressure coefficient constants is selected from your calibration certificate according to your operating pressure range. If your operating pressure range falls within the range of two sets of pressure coefficient constants, contact Micro Motion for a new calibration certificate. See Appendix C for an example calibration certificate.

Note: If it is required to apply temperature and pressure corrections, the temperature correction is applied first.
Figure 4-2 shows the typical residual error curves after pressure corrections for 7835 (100Bar) units using three sets of pressure coefficient constants. Each set covers a sub-set of the 100Bar range. The uncertainty specification for a 7835 is indicated by the upper and lower limit lines. The uncertainty for the 7835 pressure coefficients is uncertainty of

Optimization for pressure-temperature coupling effect (7835 meters only)
For the calibration of 7835 meters, a new generic constant is being applied to calculate the K21A pressure coefficient that is valid for use over a limited operating temperature and pressure range. The revised K21A pressure coefficient is selected from a table in a new format calibration certificate and is unique to the 7835 meter. The application of this K21A coefficient does not change the density calibration coefficient format or the density calibration equations previously used in the flow computer software.
Note: This constant can only be applied to 7835 meters that have been calibrated at the factory beginning in January 2011. Additionally, it is not possible to recalculate a revised K21A for units that have been recertified at external calibration facilities.
The new constant is being applied as an intermediary measure to meet the requirements of the United Kingdom Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) directive regarding the calibration of liquid density meters. The DECC directive recommended that by July 2011 all density meters be calibrated at the anticipated operating conditions (such as simultaneously at temperature and pressure). Micro Motion is in process of redesigning the calibration stands so that they can operate at a combined elevated temperature and pressure. These stands are planned to be completed and operational by July 2011.
For an example of the calibration certificate that includes the new K21A pressure coefficients, see Appendix C.

4.2.4 Velocity of sound correction

The Velocity of Sound (VOS) in the process liquid may have an effect on the accuracy of the indicated density. The calibration of the 7835 meter has been optimized to a density/VOS relationship as indicated in Figure 4-3. If the VOS of the process fluid deviates substantially from the relationship in Figure 4-3, it may be desirable to apply a correction. This may be achieved by the simple introduction of a calibration offset using the data in Figure 4-3. Adjustment of the value basic equation will achieve this.

4.3 Calibration

4.3.1 Factory calibration

The 7835 Explosion Proof Liquid Density meters are calibrated prior to leaving the factory against Transfer Standard instruments, traceable to National Standards. Three fluids are used in the calibration – ambient air whose density is derived from look-up tables, hydrocarbon oil of about 815 kg/m
3
density and a high-density fluid in the range 1400 to 1500 kg/m3 density. Several of the instruments-under-test are connected in parallel between two Transfer Standard Instruments on the Micro Motion special flow rig. During a calibration, and as the liquid flows through the instruments, readings are only taken when the indicated densities on the two Transfer Standard Instruments agree. In this way, a high integrity of calibration is achieved.
Measurements are also made under conditions of changing temperature and pressure to establish the magnitude of these effects on the instrument. From all this data, a calibration certificate is generated for each instrument.
Samples of the instruments are further tested by the Micro Motion Quality Assurance Department to verify the calibration.

4.3.2 Calibration of transfer standards

The Transfer Standard instruments used in the calibration are selected instruments that are calibrated and certified by the ISO/IEC17025-certified calibration laboratory.
Transfer Standard calibration uses a number of ‘density certified’ liquids. The densities of these certified liquids are obtained using the Primary measurement system, whereby glass sinkers of defined volumes are weighed in samples of the liquids.
Calibration is performed by pumping each certified liquid through the Transfer Standard in a closely controlled manner and recording the output signal in each case. A calibration certificate is issued for each Transfer Standard.
Calibrations are repeated, typically every six months, producing a well-documented density standard.

4.3.3 Instrument calibration certificate

Each instrument is issued with its own calibration certificate (see Appendix C for samples), containing four important pieces of data:
The instrument serial number.
The output signal/density relationship. This is based on three calibration points – air, medium density and high-density fluids. The air and high density fluid points are offset to achieve the product velocity of sound/density profile described earlier. However, the signal value at Air Density is also given for check purposes.
Temperature coefficient data, describing the correction which should be applied to achieve the best accuracy if the instrument is operating at product temperatures other than 20 °C (68 °F).
Pressure coefficient data, describing the correction that should be applied to achieve the best accuracy if the instrument is operating at elevated pressures.
A second page of the calibration certificate is retained by Micro Motion and contains all the calibration measurements.

Calibration and Performance

4.3.4 Pressure test

A hydrostatic pressure test is carried out to a pressure value specified on the instrument label and on the instrument calibration certificate. This test loads the instrument structure to a pressure that exceeds the maximum permitted operating pressure of the instrument.
Note: During manufacture, the welded structure is pressure tested to conform to the requirements of EN50018:1997. The outer case is able to withstand 100 bar of internal pressure in the event of tube/bellows failure.

4.3.5 Insulation test

To comply with Intrinsic Safety requirements, a 500 Vac insulation test is carried out between the electrical terminals and the instrument case.

4.3.6 Calibration check methods

There are two methods employed in calibration checks:
Air checkpoint, which is simple and convenient and highlights long term drift, corrosion and deposition.
Liquid calibration verification comprising two choices:
- Drawing off a sample of the liquid being measured and obtaining its density, using a
hydrometer (for stable liquids) or pyknometer (for unstable liquids).
- Using a second density meter.
Ambient air check
1. Isolate, drain and if necessary, disconnect the meter from the pipeline.
2. Clean and dry the wetted parts of the meter and leave them open to the ambient air.
3. Apply power to the instrument and check that the time period of the output signal agrees with the 'Air Check' figure shown in the calibration certificate, to within acceptable limits.
Some variation between the two figures is to be expected due to changes in ambient air conditions. The density indication if using the K0, K1 and K2 factors will be about –0.9 kg/m because the basic density equation has been optimized for best performance over the normal operating density range.
This test will indicate whether there has been a calibration offsets due to corrosion, deposition or long term drift.

Liquid density check – sample method
If it is necessary to verify the calibration using liquid at operating conditions, then the following sample methods are recommended:
For Stable Liquids:
Installation & Configuration Manual 25
Calibration and Performance
1. Draw off a sample of the liquid into a suitable container, at the same time noting the indicated density, temperature and pressure of the liquid.
2. Measure the density of the sample under defined laboratory conditions, using a hydrometer or other suitable instrument.
3. Refer the density measurement under laboratory conditions to that under the line operating conditions of temperature and pressure.
4. Compare the referred density figure with that indicated by the density meter.
Note: It is essential that a good understanding of the physical properties (temperature coefficient, etc.) of the liquid is acquired when using this method.
For Unstable Liquids:
1. Couple a pressure pyknometer and its associated pipework to the pipeline so that a sample of the liquid flows through it.
2. When equilibrium conditions are reached, the meter density reading is noted as the pyknometer is isolated from the sample flow.
3. Remove the pyknometer for weighing to establish the product density.
4. Compare the pyknometer registered density with that obtained from the meter.
Sampling Techniques
Sampling should comply with the international sampling standards (ISO 3171, ASTM D 4177, API
8.2 and IP 6.2).
For further details of these procedures, reference should be made to:

Liquid density check – second density meter
It is often the practice, especially in fiscal metering applications, to use two or more density meters in a continuous measurement mode as a means of improving the integrity of the measurement system. Any unacceptable discrepancies between the measurements can immediately raise the necessary alarm signals.
1. Connect the second density meter to the pipeline adjacent to meter being checked so that it receives the same sample of fluid under the same conditions of temperature and pressure as the meter under test.
2. Connect the second meter to its readout equipment, switch on and allow both systems to reach equilibrium conditions.
3. Compare the two readings, making any necessary corrections.
26 Micro Motion 7835 Explosion Proof Liquid Density Meters
Calibration and Performance
This method of automatic checking has proved to be a very successful technique and where there is a facility for two instruments, the practice of exchanging one for a newly calibrated instrument is proving successful. This is sometimes referred to as the "Substitution Method".
It is very important when using one instrument to verify the performance of a second and similar instrument, to ensure there are no unaccounted for systematic errors which would are not highlighted.

4.4 Performance

Micro Motion meters are generally calibrated using specified fluids at 20 °C and 1 bar absolute. When operating at other conditions, it is necessary to increase the uncertainty of measurement by the magnitude of the offsets if no corrections are applied or by a fraction of the offsets if corrections are applied.
The following table lists the sources and magnitudes of the offsets affecting the meters covered in this manual (including an example below).

General Maintenance

5.1 General

The 7835 Explosion Proof Liquid Density meters have no moving parts, which reduces the maintenance requirement to simple visual checks for leaks and physical damage.
Check calibrations should be carried out at specified intervals in order to highlight any malfunction or deterioration in meter performance. If a fault or a drop in meter performance is discovered, further tests are required to identify the cause of the fault. Remedial action is limited to cleaning the tube, making good any poor connections and replacing the maintaining amplifier or, in extreme cases, the entire instrument.
Extreme care is required in the handling of the meter during transit, its installation into the pipeline and its removal from the pipeline.
7835 Exd Specifications Calilbration CertificatesElectronics SpecificationsMaintenance

5.2 Fault analysis

Faults generally fall into two main categories: erratic readings or readings outside limits.
Erratic Readings
Normally caused by the presence of gas bubbles in the flowing liquid. Severe electrical interference or severe pipeline vibrations can also cause this effect.
Readings Outside Limits
Normally caused by deposition and/or corrosion on the resonating tube.
Since an electrical fault could also cause either of the two faults, and since examination for deposition or corrosion requires the removal off-line of the meter, it is recommended that the electrical system be checked first.

5.3 General maintenance procedure

This procedure is recommended for any periodic maintenance carried out on the system and forms the basis of any faultfinding task.

5.4 Physical checks

Physical checks are as follows:
Examine the meter and its mounting bracket, pipe couplings and electrical cables for signs of damage and corrosion.
Check the meter for signs of fluid leakage and the state of the rupture plate.
Installation & Configuration Manual 29
General Maintenance
Notes:
Any physical damage to the meter case or mounting brackets may have adverse effects on the meter performance and a full calibration would be advisable to verify its accuracy.
Any oil leakage can generally be remedied by servicing.

5.4.1 Check calibration

Checking the calibration is as follows:
Carry out a check calibration using methods detailed in Chapter 4.
Compare the results obtained with the current calibration certificate figures to identify any substantial deterioration in the meter's performance or any malfunction.
Notes:
A substantial drop in meter performance is likely due to a build-up of deposition on the vibrating tube, which can be removed by the application of a suitable solvent. See Section 5.4.2 below.
Malfunctions may be the result of electrical/electronic faults in either the meter circuit or the readout equipment. The readout equipment should be proved before attention is directed to the meter as detailed under Section 5.4.2.

5.4.2 Remedial servicing

The required servicing falls into two categories – electrical and mechanical.
Electrical servicing
1. Follow the steps below.
a. Carry out power supply and current consumption tests at the meter terminals. These
should give: 17 mA
± 1 mA at 15.5 V to 30 V.
b. Remove the power supply to the meter. If current consumption is suspect, replace the
meter amplifier.
c. Identify the drive coils (terminals 7 and 8) and disconnect the drive coil wires from the
amplifier. Measure the resistance of the drive coils. This should be: 95
± 5 ohms at 20 °C
(68 °F).
d. Reconnect the drive coil wires to the amplifier.
2. Identify the pick-up coils (terminals 9 and 10) and disconnect the pick-up coil wires from the amplifier. Measure the resistance of the pick-up coils. This should be: 95
± 5 ohms at 20 °C
(68 °F).
Reconnect the pick-up coil wires to the amplifier.
3. Follow the steps below. a. Check the 100 Ω RTD element across the terminals 11 and 12 (ensure terminals 3 to 6 are
disconnected). The value of the element resistance is temperature dependent. For this data, see the product specifications appendix.
b. Check for continuity between terminals 11 and 3, and terminals 11 and 4, also from
terminals 12 to 5 and 12 to 6.
30 Micro Motion 7835 Explosion Proof Liquid Density Meters
General Maintenance
4. Carry out an insulation test by removing all the input connections to the amplifier terminals (1 to 7 inclusive) and short-circuit the terminals together. Test their insulation resistance to the metal case using a 500 V dc insulation tester (current limited to 5 mA maximum). This resistance must be greater than 2 MΩ.
Remove the short-circuit, and reconnect the input leads if required.
Mechanical servicing
Mechanical servicing comprises mainly of keeping the inner surface of the vibrating tube clear of deposition and corrosion. Deposition may be removed by the use of a suitable solvent. Alternatively, the instrument can be removed from the pipeline and cleaned mechanically. Care is required to prevent damage to the inner surface of the tube during the cleaning.
Great care is essential in handling the meter during transit, installation into the pipeline and removal from the pipeline.
Ensure that the meter is not transported when it contains hazardous fluids. This includes fluids which may have leaked into, and are still contained, within the case.
