1.2 Product Overview

The DP – Prognosis FC program is used to verify the operation of a differential pressure (DP) meter element and its differential pressure instrumentation. The program is designed to work with Orifice Meters, Venturi meters or Cone meters.

1.2.1 Theory of Operation

A DP meter uses a geometric constriction to produce momentum change in a flow. Figure 1-1 shows an orifice meter and the associated pressure profile in the pipe.
Figure 1-1. Traditional orifice meter pressure profile
Applying mass and energy conservation equations between pipe cross sections upstream and in the vicinity of the constriction produces a flow rate equation dependent on geometry, fluid density and DP.
Traditionally, the differential pressure is measured between a point upstream of the restriction and the point of lowest pressure (vena contracta). Flow calculations are performed using this differential pressure value.
It has been shown that the constriction in a DP meter element actually produces three predictable and repeatable pressure changes in the flow stream. The Traditional DP (Pt) – mentioned previously - is measured
across the restriction. The Recovery DP (P
rec
) can be measured between the downstream tap and a far downstream tap (~6 diameters downstream for an orifice meter). The Permanent DP (P
ppl
) is measured between the upstream pressure tap and the far downstream tap. Figure 1-2 shows how these three values can be observed.
DP – Prognosis FC User Manual (for ROC800-Series)
Issued January-2017 Introduction 3
Figure 1-2. Three differential pressures for the DP meter
The DP – Prognosis FC approach involves: Measuring all three DPs at the meter element (optionally, two of the
DPs can be measured and one can be inferred, but this produces less reliable results).
Performing flow calculations for all three meters. Comparing the flow rates of the three meters – producing three
diagnostic values (diagnostics).
Comparing the pressure loss ratios of the three DPs to theoretical
values for pressure loss ratios – producing three diagnostic values (diagnostics).
Comparing the numerical values of the three DPs for consistency
(Pt = P
rec
+ P
ppl
).
As can be seen, this results in seven different uncertainty parameters – referred to as diagnostics. Customarily, the seven diagnostics are each compared to allowable uncertainty setpoints – thereby converting the values to dimensionless form. For instance,
Calculated traditional flow rate = 10.100
Calculated permanent flow rate = 10.800 Percent Difference = 100 * (10.800 – 10.100) / 10.100 = 6.93% If the allowable percentage for this difference was configured to 2%,
then the dimensionless value of the first diagnostic (x1) would be:
6.93% / 2% = 3.47
In dimensionless form, any value between -1.0 and 1.0 is considered to be indicative of a properly-performing meter.

4 Introduction Issued January-2017

1.2.2 Practical Application

The DP – Prognosis FC approach can be used to monitor the operation of a DP meter with the intent of identifying uncertainty in the traditional calculated measurement. Using the DP diagnostic approach, the following conditions have been identified in orifice meters:
Orifice plate installed backwards Damaged orifice plate (worn sharp edge, warped plate, dirty plate) Obstructed flow in meter tube or through orifice Physical plate or meter tube size different from values configured in
flow computer
Plugged or leaking transmitter impulse line Transmitter calibration error Transmitter calibration drift Equalizing valve on instrument manifold leaking Wet gas

1.2.3 Operational Benefits

The DP – Prognosis FC operating at a meter installation, the meter can be managed by exception. Routine, scheduled inspection/calibration procedures can be modified such that technicians address known measurement problems immediately when exceptions are noted – rather than waiting until the problem is discovered during the next scheduled inspection. Furthermore, the time of onset of the exception can be precisely identified – assisting in proper correction to flow data.
Common operating mistakes (installing plate backwards, changing plate without changing flow computer configuration) are quickly identified and clarified when DP diagnostics is running in the Flow Computer.

1.3 Program Features

1.3.1 DP – Prognosis FC for up to 12 Meter runs

The single license enables the Prognosis feature for all meters on the ROC800.

1.3.2 Three Supported Meter Types

The program works with Orifice, Venturi, and Cone meters.

1.3.3 Customary Seven Diagnostics

The program produces the customary seven diagnostic values.
DP – Prognosis FC User Manual (for ROC800-Series)
Issued January-2017 Introduction 5

1.3.4 Support for Stacked DPs

The program supports use of stacked DP instruments for Recovery and for Permanent DP instruments

1.3.5 Supports two or three measured DPs

Although it is not recommended, the program can function using just one additional DP instrument (plus the traditional DP). When either the Recovery DP or the Permanent DP instruments are not configured, the value of the unmeasured DP will be calculated from the other two DPs.

1.3.6 Adjustable Diagnostic Frequency

The diagnostic calculations can be run at a frequency ranging from once per second to once per 255 days.
When main processor loading is a concern, the frequency of the calculation can be reduced to alleviate processor loading.

1.3.7 Multi-pass Averaging

The program can be configured to perform multiple calculation cycles and use the resulting average value of the seven diagnostics. This feature can be used when there is high latency in DP measured values or when wet gas is expected – to reduce nuisance alerts.

1.3.8 Pattern Matching

After the seven diagnostic values are calculated, the relationship of these values to each other is compared with known pattern signatures. This results in a pattern match code and text message which can provide insight as to the particular problem – if any – with the meter.

1.4 Program Requirements

The DP – Prognosis FC program is compatible with version 3.61 (or greater) of the ROC800 firmware or version 1.60 (or greater) of ROC800L with version 2.41 (or greater) of the ROCLINK 800 software.

1.4.1 License Key

License keys, when matched with valid license codes, grant access to applications such as the DP – Prognosis FC program.
For ROC800 and ROC800L, the term “license key” refers to the physical piece of hardware that can contain up to seven different licenses (refer to Figure 1-1). Each ROC800-series can have none, one, or two license keys installed. If you remove a license key after enabling an application, the firmware disables the task from running. This prevents unauthorized execution of protected applications in a ROC800.

The ratio of traditional DP to recovery pressure loss DP can be calculated either from a published equation or from a curve fit. If the meter has been calibrated to derive a more precise definition of pressure loss ratio vs Reynolds number, a curve fit of that calibration data can be entered here.
Diagnostic Calculations Cutoff Thresholds
Specifies the low DP limits for the diagnostic calculations:
Low Traditional
DP cutoff
Sets the threshold for diagnostic calculations based on the traditional DP value. When the traditional DP value falls below this threshold, the diagnostic calculations will not be executed. This feature can be used to prevent extraneous alarms at very low flow rates.

the below that all cause an over-reading
Partial blockage of orifice (relatively steady pattern for relatively steady flow, if blockage does not move) Inlet diameter entered too small (relatively steady pattern for relatively steady flow) Orifice diameter entered too large (relatively steady pattern for relatively steady flow) Wet gas flow (highly unstable DPs and associated diagnostic points)
9
Condition 9
One or more of the following might be the cause: Disturbed Flow, may be over-reading or under-reading or, any of the below that all cause an under-reading:
Inlet diameter entered too large (relatively steady pattern for relatively steady flow) Orifice diameter entered too small (relatively steady pattern for relatively steady flow) Contamination (relatively steady pattern in the short term for relatively steady flow – can change over time as
contamination increases or decreases)
Buckled plate (relatively steady pattern for relatively steady flow) Worn edge plate (relatively steady pattern in the short term for relatively steady flow– change over time as

Possible Wet Gas
Wet gas induces “noise” in Prognosis FC signals. If the “number to average” parameter is configured high enough, this “noise” will be reduced by the averaging process. The values from the individual “runs” can be
viewed via the values displayed on the “detail” tab (parameters 138 through 173) and the degree of variation can
be observed.

4.4 Zeroing the meter for Prognosis FC

Certain characteristics of the meter run configuration and the gas can cause the pressure loss ratio of a DP meter to shift. Among these conditions are:
Far downstream (permanent) pressure tap is more than the idea distance downstream A thermowell or other obstruction is installed upstream of the far downstream (permanent) pressure tap Wet gas
One way to account for the tap location and/or obstruction is to use knowledge of the meter configuration along with the configuration parameters provided.

Issued January-2017 Reference 67
Another option is to “zero the meter”. This is done as follows:
Insure (via inspection and calibration) that the meter is performing to specification Observe the Suggested PLR Offset Factor value displayed in the DP Diagnostic Program’s Configuration tab Enter the suggested value into the PLR Offset Factor parameter on the DP Diagnostic Program’s Configuration tab Apply changes
