8 Multi-path Flow Meter Configuration Accuracy depends on: Acoustic path configuration The number of paths The calculation schedule of individual paths Major issues are: Erratic flow profile changes in the Transition region Profile distortions Temperature stability Most manufacturers only state the accuracy for Reynolds >
9 What /who is Reynolds ( )? Osborne Reynolds dye experiment. 8

11 What is Reynolds? Doing his experiments, Reynolds found that there is a similarity in the flow pattern if it is characterized by a certain dimensionless number; which he called the Reynolds number. Re.D. V - density V - mean velocity D - internal pipe diameter µ - the dynamic viscosity For identical Reynolds numbers, the profiles are the same. 10
12 Calibrating at different viscosities than used in situ. As Reynolds found, for identical Reynolds numbers, the profiles are the same. Therefore during calibration at a different viscosity, not the velocity range, but the Reynolds range is of importance! Essential is to match the Reynolds number as they are encountered in situ. Example for a 12 meter Reynold s No. Water 1 cst HC 5 cst HC 10 cst m/s 0.5 m/s 1.0 m/s m/s 1.0 m/s 2.0 m/s m/s 5.0 m/s 10.0 m/s m/s 11
13 Low viscosity versus high viscosity Low viscosity Bitumen High viscosity The University of Queensland pitch drop experiment. Picture taken in 1990, two years after the seventh drop and 10 years before the eighth drop of bitumen fell. 12
14 Temperature dependence of crudes Within 20 degrees F (10 C), the viscosity changes a factor ALTOSONIC for liquids
15 Impact of temperature Especially highly viscous crude oils are transferred at high temperatures; therefore temperature fluctuations are commonplace. As a direct consequence of these temperature variations, large variations in viscosity occur and as a result of that the flow velocity profile will change constantly. So at high viscosities, temperature stability is essential to get an accurate measurement result. At low viscosities, there is more turbulent mixing and temperatures play a smaller role; but than installation effects are more apparent. 14
16 Designer s toolbox: the reducer The reasons for using a reducer are: the improvement of the velocity profile in the transition range. reduction of the impact of the turbulence. Straight bore Reducer (β ratio ) 15
17 Meter design In selecting the acoustic path configuration there are 2 possibilities: 1. Using mathematics dating from the 1830 s (such as used in the Westinghouse patent from 1968 and still applied in many parallel paths meters). And / or.. Gauss Jacobi Legendre Chebyshev 2. by applying flow research and using physical models such as CFD. Only then the technology can progress. 16

Conclusion: Measuring closer to the pipe wall improves the measurement. 22

28 OIML & API requirements. Next to the requirements for the accuracy, both the OIML and the API also state requirements for the repeatability of the measurement. OIML requirements: Maximum permissible error: 0.2% Maximum repeatability: 0.12% This also impacts the path position the selection of the flow conditioner the sampling frequency the minimum proving volume when a small volume prover is used

30 Meter design conclusions: The bore reduction has a dominant effect on the meter performance. The best design, accuracy wise, is a meter with: A reduced bore Acoustic paths close to the wall A plate flow conditioner Therefore that design is used for the full range Altosonic

34 Installation tests The goal for these tests was to quantify the impact of the installation effects that occur in measuring low viscosity fluids ~ 1cSt. At much higher viscosities these effects disappear. The results shown are therefore only valid for low viscosities. 33

50 Proving according to API Ch 5.8 The API Ch 5.8 is based on turbine meters. Turbine meters average the flow over the length of the rotor blade section and are not capable to measure high frequency fluctuations. Ultrasonic meters detect all these natural occurring fluctuations in the flow. Hence the output of ultrasonic meters possess a much larger scatter than turbine meters. To reduce the scatter to the level of the turbine meter, the ultrasonic meter must average over a larger time/volume. Proving ultrasonic meters with a SVP is not easy! 49
51 In the API ch. 5.8, 3 methods are described to calibrate a flowmeter with a SVP: 1. Performing 5 proving runs of each 1 pass 2. Performing up to 20 proving runs of each 1 pass 3. Performing 5 to 20 proving runs of each a number of passes (as an example 3, 5 or 10) Runs Repeatability Band % (R) Uncert. % 3 0,02 0, ,03 0, ,05 0, ,06 0, ,08 0, ,09 0, ,10 0, ,12 0, ,13 0, ,14 0, ,22 0,027
52 Minimum proving volume The minimum proving volume is a function of: The meter size. The flow regime (laminar transition turbulent). The turbulence level. The number of acoustic paths. The sampling rate. In the design of the new Altosonic 5, both the number of paths as well as the sampling rate have been optimized for use with SVP. 51

57 Recommendations on proving Number of proving passes per run: Using a 5 runs of a 10 passes average gave in most calibration the best results. Recommended proving volumes per run: Meter inch Altosonic 5 liter Altosonic V liter Prover base volume liter A duration of 1.5 seconds is sufficient to guarantee acceptable calibration results for 5 runs of 10 passes each. 56
58 1. Introduction 2. Development of the ALTOSONIC 5 3. Test results Installation effects Meter proving 4. Conclusions Jan G. Drenthen & Pico Brand
59 Conclusions Without proper flow conditioning, installation effects are apparent at low viscosities. In combination with a perforated plate flow conditioner, even for low viscosities, the design is robust and highly insensitive for installation conditions. Using 7 beams, the minimal straight inlet length can be reduced to 3D 5D. 0 D inlet runs are to be avoided in general, but can be used in certain applications when it is calibrated as a package including the upstream piping. Using Reynolds compensation, the meter has become independent of the liquid properties. With the new design, a compact prover can be used. 58
