US FIO EZ Introduction 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Principle of Operation The FIO EZ un-pressurized Orifice Fitting is a device that houses, and accurately positions, an orifice plate for measuring flow within a pipe or tube. When placed in the FIO EZ un-pressurized Orifice Fitting, an orifice plate will produce a differential pressure by abruptly constricting the medium flowing through it. The differential pressure is measured across the plate through two taps located on the FIO EZ un-pressurized Orifice Fitting in the vicinity of the constriction. The FIO EZ un-pressurized Orifice Fitting single chamber design allows for the inspection and the replacement of orifice plates without removing the FIO EZ from the flow line. Use of the FIO EZ un-pressurized Orifice Fitting eliminates the effort required to remove and inspect an orifice plate housed in conventional orifice flange installations. Pietro Fiorentini designs and manufactures all FIO EZ units to A.G.A. 2000 recommendations. The FIO EZ un-pressurized Orifice Fitting is designed and manufactured in strict accordance with all applicable ANSI, ASME, ASTM and ISO 5167 specifications. Products bearing the CE mark are designed and manufactured in compliance with the European Union Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/EC. 6 FIO EZ - MT 108-US - 05-2016

FIO EZ Installation US 2.0 INSTALLATION 2.1 Preliminary steps On installations which are required to comply with European Union Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/EC, it is the responsibility of the end user to ensure that all Essential Safety Requirements of this directive are met. Before installing the fitting into the line, clean piping of all foreign material such as welding chips, scale, oil, grease and dirt. Remove all foreign matter such as scale, oil, grease, and dirt from the fitting line connections and internal cavities of the fitting that may have collected during the time of final factory inspection and line installation. If the installation personnel expect the FIO EZ un-pressurized Orifice Fitting to encounter severe conditions (conditions where there is likely to be an accumulation of sediment for any cause), installation personnel should install a blow down valve in place of the pipe plug (13) at the bottom of the fitting. (See section 3.0, Maintenance section for instructions concerning severe service conditions). Record the fitting s plate data for future reference. Always provide the serial number and model number of the fitting when ordering spare parts. It is the responsibility of the end user to install the fitting in a well designed piping system taking due regard of the following. - Internal/external pressure - Ambient and operational temperatures - Static pressure and mass of contents in operating and test conditions - Traffic, wind and earth loading - Reaction forces and moments which result from supports, attachments, piping, etc. - Corrosion, erosion, fatigue, etc. - Decomposition of unstable fluids - Possible damage from external fire.

US FIO EZ Installation 2.2 FIO EZ un-pressurized Orifice Fittings Installation SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DANGER The Pietro Fiorentini FIO EZ UN-PRESSURIZED ORIFICE FITTINGS is a device that contains fluid at elevated pressure. Failure to follow the instructions in this manual can result in serious injury or death. 2.2.1 Pietro Fiorentini FIO EZ un-pressurized Orifice Fitting is an important part of an orifice metering system. To complete the unit, a meter tube must be attached. If the FIO EZ unpressurized Orifice Fitting is received without a meter tube, see the appropriate Code (AGA-3,etc.) for details. 2.2.2 Before installing the meter tube containing the FIO EZ unpressurized Orifice Fitting, clean the meter tube interior as well as the piping sections where the FIO EZ meter tube will be installed. Remove all foreign materials such as welding debris, scale, oil, grease or dirt. 2.2.3 Disassemble the FIO EZ un-pressurized Orifice Fitting and weld it to the upstream pipe. Use proper procedures for the materials being joined. Carefully grind the inside surface of the pipe so as to respect the tolerances as specified in ISO/API/AGA 14.3 standards. 10 FIO EZ - MT 108-US - 05-2016

FIO EZ Installation US SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DANGER The Pietro Fiorentini FIO EZ UN-PRESSURIZED ORIFICE FITTINGS is a device that contains fluid at elevated pressure. Failure to follow the instructions in this manual can result in serious injury or death. 2.2.7 After the meter tube is in place and all connections are made and any holes plugged, the meter tube containing the FIO EZ un-pressurized Orifice Fitting should be pressure tested. 2.2.8 Pressure test the line containing the meter tube with FIO EZ un-pressurized Orifice Fitting using an appropriate test procedure. Note that no orifice plate (278,279) should be in the FIO EZ during testing. 2.2.9 Once personnel install the Pietro Fiorentini FIO EZ un-pressurized Orifice Fitting and secure the clamping bar (180), they are to perform a leak test. 2.2.10 Install a pressure gauge calibrated to a recognized standard on the line system in a location where the gauge will detect the pressure inside the Pietro Fiorentini FIO EZ un-pressurized Orifice Fitting. The calibrated gauge must be rated to operate slightly above the maximum operating pressure of the system (the Pietro Fiorentini FIO EZ un-pressurized Orifice Fitting and the adjacent piping).

US FIO EZ Installation 2.3 Fitting Leak Test SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DANGER The Pietro Fiorentini FIO EZ UN-PRESSURIZED ORIFICE FITTINGS is a device that contains fluid at elevated pressure. Failure to follow the instructions in this manual can result in serious injury or death. 2.3.1 Slowly pressurize the Pietro Fiorentini FIO EZ at a rate of 1 psig per second (0.15 bars per second) until the pressure inside the plate holder reaches 20 psig (1.4 bar) then stop and hold that pressure for five minutes. During the five-minute hold, apply a leak detection solution to all joint and connector areas of the plate holder and line connections. No leakage should be visibly or audibly detectable during the hold period. 2.3.2 If a leak is detected, mark the leak area with a marker and reduce the pressure inside the Pietro Fiorentini FIO EZ unpressurized Orifice Fitting to 0 psig (0 bar). Tighten any fastener or connector adjacent to the leak area and repeat the leak test again. 14 FIO EZ - MT 108-US - 05-2016
FIO EZ Installation US 2.3.3 If several attempts to stop the leak fail, call Pietro Fiorentini for assistance. SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DANGER Correct all leaks prior to operation. Failure to follow the instructions in this manual can result in serious injury or death. 2.3.4 Once the 20 psig (1.4bar) leak test is complete, and no leaks are detected, slowly raise the pressure inside the Pietro Fiorentini un-pressurized Orifice Fitting at a rate of 10 psig per second to the maximum operating pressure of the system (the Pietro Fiorentini un-pressurized Orifice Fitting and the adjacent piping) or the line operating pressure. Hold the maximum operating pressure inside the fitting for a period of 10 minutes. 2.3.5 On installations which are required to comply with the European Union Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/EC, the installation must be tested to at least 1.43 times MAOP of the lowest rated component in the system. 2.3.6 During the ten-minute hold period, apply a leak detection solution to all joint connector areas of the plate holder and line connections. No leakage should be visibly or audibly detectable during the hold period. 2.3.7 If a leak is detected, mark the leak area with a marker and reduce the pressure inside the plate holder to 0 psig (0 bar). Tighten any fastener or connector adjacent to the leak area and repeat the leak test again. 2.3.8 If several attempts to stop the leak fail, call Pietro Fiorentini for assistance. 2.3.9 Slowly release the pressure from the plate holder until the gauge reads zero (0) psig. 2.3.10 The Pietro Fiorentini FIO EZ un-pressurized Orifice Fitting is now ready for orifice plate installation, final pressurization and operation.
