and Orientation

This section describes the orientation, location, and alignment limits for installing the Mass ProBar flowmeter . Read it thoroughly before any installation is performed.

SAFETY MESS AGES

Instructions and procedures in this section may require special precautions to ensure the safety of the personnel performing the operations. Please refer to the following safety messages before performing any operation in this section.

Explosions could result in death or serious injury:

• Do not remove the transmitter cov er in explosive atmospheres when the circuit is alive.

• Before connecting a HART-based communicator in an explosive atmosphere, make sure the instruments in the loop are installed in accordance with intrinsically safe or non-incendive field wiring practices.

• Verify that the operat ing atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with the appropriate hazardous locations certifications.

• Both transmitter covers must be fully engaged to meet explosion-proof requirements.

Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or serious injury:

• Make sure only qualified personnel perform the installation.

RECEIVING AND INSPECTION

MASS PROBAR CONFIGURATIONS

Mass ProBar flowmeters are available in different models and with different options, so it is important to inspect and know which model you have before beginning installation.

Upon receipt of the shipment, check the packing list against the material received and the purchase order. All items are tagged with a model number, serial number, and customer tag number. Report any damage to the carrier.

The Mass ProBar is available in a variety of mounting configurations and has two methods of electronic mounting: integral mount (or, direct mount) and remote mount (Figure 2-1 on page 2-2). An integrallymounted Mass ProBar may be shipped with the electronics already bolted directly to the sensor.

Structural limitations are printed on the Mass ProBar sensor tag.

CAUTION

Exceeding the Mass ProBar structural limitations may cause the sensor to fail.

The Mass ProBar best produces accurate and repeatable flow measurement under the following conditions:

• The maximum differential pressure, as printed on the tag attached to the Mass ProBar, is not exceeded.

• The Mass ProBar is not used for two-phase flow or for steam service below saturation temperature.

Install the Mass ProBar in the correct location within the piping branch to prevent measurement inaccuracies caused by flow disturbances.

Installation Location and Orientation

Straight Run Requirements

Use Table 2-1 to determine the proper Mass ProBar straight run requirements.

NOTES

For gas service, multiply values from Table 2-1 by 1.5. If longer lengths of straight run are available, position the Mass

ProBar where 80% of the run is upstream of the Mass ProBar and 20% is downstream.

Information contained in this manual applies to circular pipes only. Consult the factory for instructions regarding Mass ProBar use in square or rectangular ducts.

Straightening vanes may be used to reduce the required straight run length and will improve performance.

Row 6 in Table 2-1 applies to gate, globe, plug, and other throttling

valves that are partially opened. If a “through-type” valve will remain open, use the values shown in Row 5. Refer to Row 6 for the straight run requirements of a Mass ProBar located downstream of the control valve.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

Access Requirements

Process Fl ange Orie nta ti o n

Housing Rotation

Terminal Side of Electronics Housing

Mount the Mass ProBar in a location with minimal ambient temperature changes. Section 17: Specifications and Reference Data lists the Mass ProBar temperature operating limits. Mount the Mass ProBar to avoid vibration and mechanical shock, and to avoid external contact with corrosive materials.

When choosing an installation location and position, take into account the need for access to the Mass ProBar.

The process flanges must be oriented so that process connections can be made. In addition, consider the possible need for a testing or calibration input. Drain/vent valves must be oriented so that the process fluid is directed away from technicians when the valves are used.

The electronics housing may be rotated to improve field access to the two compartments. To rotate the housing less than 90 degrees, release the housing rotation set screw and turn the housing not more than 90 degrees from the orientations shown in Figure 2-3 below. To rotate the housing greater than 90 degrees, consult factory. Rotating the housing greater than 90 degrees without performing the disassembly procedure may damage the Mass ProBar sensor module.

• Wiring connections are made through the conduit openings on the top side of the housing.

• The field terminal side is marked on the electronics housing.

• Mount the Mass ProBar so that the terminal side is accessible. A

0.75-in. clearance is required for cover removal.

• Install a conduit plug on the unused side of the conduit opening.

MASS PROBAR ORIENTATION

Horizontal Pipe: Liquid or Steam Application

When selecting a Mass ProBar location, proper venting or draining must be considered.

• Liquid or Steam Applications: Locate the mass proBar head below the pipe. See Figures 2-2 and 2-5.

For liquid applications, mount the side drain/vent valve upward to allow the gases to vent. In steam applications, fill the lines with water to prevent contact of the live steam with the electronics. Condensate chambers are not needed because the volumetric displacement of the electronics is negligible.

• Air and Gas Applications: Locate the Mass ProBar head above the pipe. See Figures 2-3 and 2-4.

For air and gas applications, mount the drain/vent valve down to allow any accumulated liquid to drain.

Mass ProBar instrument head connections differ on horizontal and vertical pipes. Consult your specification head code number to confirm the proper pipe orientation of the Mass ProBar.

Due to the possibility of air getting trapped in the probe, the Mass ProBar should be located per the drawing below. The area between 0° and 50° (50° angle) should not be used unless full bleeding of air from the probe is possible. Figure 2-4 illustrates the recommended location of the flowmete r.

SAFETY MESS AGES

This section provides hardware installation instructions for the Mass ProBar Regular (Threaded, Pak-Lok) for service in either a horizontal or vertical pipe. Installation procedures are similar for all services. Service-specific instructions are provided where necessary; otherwise, all instructions in this section apply to all services.

If remote mounting of the electronics is required, use this section for hardware installation. Then, see Section 8: Mass ProBar Remote Mounting for electronics installation.

• The direct mount maximum service temperature is 500 °F (260 °C).

• The electronics must be remote mounted when service temperatures exceed 500 °F (260 °C).

• Mass ProBar models with a sensor size of 15 or 16 require remote mounted electronics. After installing the sensor, see Section 8: Mass ProBar Remote Mounting for instructions on installing the electronics.

• Mass ProBar models with a sensor size of 45 or 46 are shipped with a packing guide cover instead of a compression nut.

Explosions could result in death or serious injury:

• Do not remove the transmitter cov er in explosive atmospheres when the circuit is alive.

• Verify that the operat ing atmosphere of the transmitter is consistent with the appropriate hazardous locations certifications.

• Both transmitter covers must be fully engaged to meet explosion-proof requirements.

Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in death or serious injury:

• Make sure only qualified personnel perform the installation.

STEP 1: DETERMINE THE PROPER MASS PROBAR ORIENTATION

Liquid Service in a Horizontal Pipe

FIGURE 3-2. Liquid Service in a Horizontal Pipe.

Orientation of the Mass ProBar depends upon two factors: the orientation of the pipe that will receive the flowmeter, and the service that uses the pipe. The following sections provide illustrations of the possible pipe orientations and services. After determining the

flowmeter’s orientation, proceed with step 2 on page 3-5.

Install the flowmeter within 40 degrees of the vertical axis to prevent air from becoming entrapped wi thin the probe . Do not position the Mass

ProBar within 50 degrees of the horizontal axis unless full bleeding of air from the probe is possible. Figure 3-2 illustrates the recommended

location for the Mass ProBar when used with liquid service.

STEP 2: DRILL THE HOLE IN THE PIPE

Drill a Hole for Opposite-Side Support

Follow the steps below to drill the hole in the pipe.

1. Depressurize and drain the pipe.

2. Select the location for the hole you are about to drill. Select a location anywhere around the circumference of the pipe

for vertical pipes. For horizontal pipes, the hole location depends upon the service

for which the Mass ProBar is to be used:

• Liquid service: drill the hole along the bottom of the pipe

• Gas service: drill the hole along the top of the pipe

• Steam service: drill the hole along the bottom of the pipe

3. Determine the diameter of the hole to be drilled. Use the chart in Figure 3-7.

4. After the hole is drilled, deburr the hole on the inside of the pipe.

A second hole must be drilled for the opposite-side support weld coupling if opposite-side support is supplied. This hole must be the same diameter as the first hole; place it directly opposite the first hole so that the sensor can pass completely through the pipe. Use the following steps to find the location for the second hole:

1. Wrap a piece of soft wire or string around the pipe to measure the pipe’s circumference.

2. Remove the wire or string and measure half of the circumference length.

3. Re-wrap the half-length around the pipe from the center of the first hole.

4. Mark the center of what will become the second hole, as shown in Figure 3-7.

Note: Drill the hole 180 degrees from the first hole for opposite-side support models.

STEP 3: TACK WELD THE FITTINGS TO THE PIPE

FIGURE 3-8. Tack Weld the Fittings to the Pipe.

Fol low these steps to tack weld the fittings to the pipe:

1. Insert the Mass ProBa r asse mbly into the fa ctor y-s upplied weld fitting (with integral support ring), then into the hole.

2. Align the head and electronics so they are parallel with the ground.

3. Tack weld the fitting(s) to the pipe and remove the Mass ProBar . See Figure 3-8 below.

The support ring shall be in-line or parallel to plane of pipe as shown.

8900-8900V20A

NOTE

The larger radius in Figure 3-8 must be parallel to the centerline of the pipe.

To protect the weld fitting threads from weld splatter, wrap the factory-supplied heavy aluminum foil around the threads before welding, or use a thread protector cap, as shown in Figure 3-9. Be sure to allow the mounting to cool or serious burns may occur.
