DP Accuracy on Flow Measurement 3

• Is determined by the specification of the DP


transmitter
 because DP is under the square root, the DP range will not
be the same as the flow range. The DP range is equal to the
flow range squared.
– A flow range of 5:1 will have a DP range of 25:1
 the accuracy to be used in for a flow measurement is the %
of reading error, not % of span.
– An EJA is good for 0.1% of span.
• At a reading of 1/2 the span, the error is 0.2% of reading
• At a reading of 1/10 the span, the error is 1.0% of reading
 DP has a sensitivity coefficient (0.5) on flow measurement

DP Accuracy on Flow Measurement 4

Example:
A customer has an orifice plate which produces
32”H2O at 800 GPM of flow.
– How much DP will he have at a flow of 200 GPM ?
Flow turndown is 4:1
DP = 32 / 16 = 2”H2O
DP turndown is 16:1
– If the transmitter accuracy spec. is 0.1% of span what
will be the DP accuracy at 200 GPM ? (the xmtr span is
32“H2O)
DP turndown is 16:1 DP Accuracy = 16 x 0.1% = 1.6%

– How much error will the DP measurement contribute to


the flow accuracy ? (remember, DP has a sensitivity
coefficient of 1/2)
Error = 1.6% x 0.5 = 0.8%

Factors Affecting Seal Performance 26

• Remote Seal Head Temperature Error


Fill fluid density (specific gravity) changes due to
temperature changes.
Zero offset is affected by fill fluid density changes.
Calculate Head Temperature Error (HTE).

Initial Head (Hi) = d*SGf

HTE = - d*SGf *E*dT

d = Distance Between Taps


SGf = Specific Gravity of Fill Fluid
E = Coefficient of Thermal Expansion
dT = Temperature Change

Training Course - Pressure 2


Factors Affecting Seal Performance 27

• Calculating Head Temperature Error


Initial head: d*SGf = 93.4”
With +25o Temperature change
HTE = - (100*25*.0006*.934)
= -1.380”
– Therefore, at a higher temperature, the head pressure on the
transmitter = (93.4” - 1.40”) = 92.0”
