Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a process flow device that includes a self-averaging orifice plate type of primary flow element for measuring, by a differential pressure process, the volumetric rate of fluid flow at a point in a fluid carrying conduit where the velocity profile of the fluid is asymmetric with respect to the longitudinal axis of the conduit.
- Orifice plate flow meters having a single centered opening in a plate constriction that is disposed diametrically within a fluid- carrying pipe, with differential pressure measurement means on the upstream and downstream sides of the constriction, have been in existence for a long period of time. While the accuracy of such devices is good for long runs of pipe, orifice plate flow meters suffer the disadvantage of poor performance when placed in short pipe runs that follow a flow disturbance created by upstream apparatus, such as an elbow, expander, reducer, valve or other discontinuity.
- a more complex apparatus employing a plurality of elongated openings arranged in a predetermined pattern in a transversely disposed plate within the fluid-conducting pipe, together with a computer to deal with the necessary algorithms, is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,295,397.
- Yet another device for reducing the adverse measuring effects of a distorted velocity profile is known as the piezometer ring.
- This appliance may surround the orifice on both sides of the orifice plate and, by means of a plurality of circumferentially disposed pressure sensing ports, averages pressures around the upstream and downstream sides of the orifice.
- a piezometer type of averaging sensor is described generally in U.S. Patent No.
- the primary object of the present invention is to provide a primary flow element that achieves the accuracy benefits of the orifice plate type of flow meter, but is not restricted to long runs of upstream piping prior to the flow meter's positioning in the pipe.
- a corresponding objective of the invention is to provide a primary flow element where the means for interrupting the fluid flow is a differential pressure orifice plate that achieves an averaging of the differential pressures across the plate, despite velocity profile distortion of the fluid presented to the primary flow element, and without the added piezometer and its computer, flow straightening or flow conditioning apparatus.
- the decrease of static pressure on the downstream side results in a measurement of the pressure differential, dP, between the upstream side of the orifice plate and the downstream side.
- the rate of fluid flow q is proportional to dP .
- prior art orifice plate flow meters work well when the velocity profile is symmetrical about the longitudinal axis of the pipe in which the fluid is flowing. In such a case, the highest velocity fluid is along the central axis of the pipe, coaxial with the orifice of the constricting pipe plate. When traveling through the orifice, the highest velocity fluid is the fluid that produces the pressure differential across the plate to provide the flow rate result.
- a constrictive plate, or flow impedance device having a plurality of variously positioned orifices is placed in a fluid-carrying conduit with static pressure measurement taken on the upstream and downstream sides of the plate.
- Each of the plurality of orifices will conduct a part of the total fluid flow within the conduit. According to Bernoulli's theorem, the velocity of the fluid through each of the orifices will increase, and the static fluid pressure on the downstream side of the constricting plate that is attributable to each of the separate orifices will be averaged within the fluid to provide an average downstream static pressure.
- the average downstream static pressure is compared with the upstream static pressure to provide an average differential pressure for whatever velocity profile is presented to the multiple orifice plate, resulting in an accurate measurement of the rate of fluid flow in the pipe.
- Integrally incorporating the multiple orifice plate into the central opening of an annular ring with intermediate upstream and downstream static pressure measuring ports disposed within the ring, provides added simplicity to the primary flow element. This simplicity is further enhanced when the annular ring is provided with a projecting stem that is capable of conducting the sensed differential pressure to other flow processing accessories mounted on the stem.
- Figure 1 is a perspective exploded view of an averaging orifice primary flow element of the present invention positioned between two opposing mounting flanges fixed to the ends of a fluid carrying conduit. Dashed lines indicate the connection of accessory flow processing devices with the upstream and downstream pressure ports disposed within the mounting flanges.
- Figure 1 A is a fragmentary cross sectional view of the piping and primary flow element of Figure 1 , illustrating a representative velocity profile of the fluid in the pipe that would exist shortly downstream of an elbow in the piping.
- Figures 2, 2A and 2B are plan views of three different configurations of the averaging orifice primary flow element of the present invention. The views are taken from a position downstream of the orifice plate, looking upstream.
- Figure 3 is a cross sectional view taken along lines 3-3 of
- Figure 4 is an enlarged fragmentary detail of a portion of
- Figure 5 is a perspective view of the embodiment of the present invention wherein the averaging orifice primary flow element is integrally incorporated intermediate the ends of an annular mounting ring with a projecting pressure communicating stem that mounts a valve-carrying manifold.
- Figure 6 is a fragmentary perspective view of the Figure 5 embodiment of the present invention, as supported between opposing mounting flanges on the ends of a fluid carrying conduit.
- Figure 7 is an exploded view of the assembly of Figure 6.
- Figure 8 is a prospective view of a modified form of the annular mounting ring of Figure 5 wherein the annular ring supports a pitot tube type of primary flow element instead of the averaging orifice plate, as shown in Figure 5.
- FIGS. 1 and 1 A An averaging orifice primary flow element 2 is positioned between two opposing mounting flanges 4 and 6 fixed to the ends of a fluid-carrying conduit 8 just below an elbow 9 where the velocity profile 7 is skewed.
- Each of the mounting flanges contain a radially extending pressure sensing port 10 and 1 2 that communicate with the fluid flowing in the pipe and are respectively connected through conduits 14 and 16 to a valve manifold 1 8 and into a pressure transducer 19.
- An electrical signal that represents the sensed differential pressure between the ports 10 and 12 is transmitted by transmitter 20 to a processing unit (not shown) .
- the primary flow element 2, also shown in figure 2 comprises a circular plate having four apertures 22 symmetrically arranged around the center of the plate 2.
- the center of the flow element plate 2 is positioned coaxially with the longitudinal centerline of the pipe 8.
- the plate 2 is retained in place by the sandwiching pressure of flanges 4 and 6.
- the circumferential edges 24 of the apertures 22 on the downstream side of the flow element plate 2 are preferably, but not necessarily, chamfered in order to facilitate expansion of the fluid column that flows through each aperture.
- Figures 2A and 2B illustrate additional embodiments of the primary flow element in which there are an increased plurality of apertures 22A and 22B clustered around the center of primary flow element plates 2A and 2B. While the invention will be described with respect to the four aperture embodiment of Figure 2, it is understood that four apertures in the primary flow element plate is only one of many possible configurations of apertures. One particular configuration and number of apertures may be more appropriate to a given fluid, fluid profile and piping characteristics than another. However, the principal of operation is the same, regardless of the number or location of apertures in the constricting plate. The number or configuration of apertures is not limited by the illustrations of Figures 2 through 2B.
- a modified form of a four-aperture primary flow element plate 30 is shown in Figure 5, integrally formed with the annular ring, or wafer, 32 that is insertable between the flanges 34 and 36 attached to the ends of two sections of a fluid-carrying pipe 40.
- Upstream and downstream pressure sensing ports 35 and 37 are located on each side of the flow element plate 30, as seen in Figure 6.
- the pressure sensing ports 35 and 37 connect through conduits 39 and 41 in the stem 45 to conduits 46 and 47 in the manifold 1 8.
- the Figure 5 embodiment is also illustrated in Figures 6 and 7, illustrating the total flow meter assembly inserted between pipe sections that carry the fluid whose flow rate is to be measured.
- the wafer 32 is an annular ring whose inside diameter corresponds to the inside diameter of the fluid-carrying pipe 40.
- the flow element plate 30 is positioned across the ring opening substantially equi-distant from each of the lateral sides of the wafer ring 32.
- the wafer is mounted between two gaskets 48 and 49 that interface with the pipe end flanges 34 and 36.
- a semi-circular positioning ring 50 functions to position and secure the wafer 32 in its proper place between the pipe flanges. Positioning of the wafer 32 is achieved by placing it into the cradle formed by the interior of the ring 50 and seating the shanks of the fastening bolts 55 into the outer grooves of the ring.
- the differential pressure generating mechanism, the pressure sensing ports, the manifold and the transmitter components are incorporated into a single unit that is easily insertable between the flanges of pipe sections.
- the differential pressure generating mechanism may comprise types of primary flow elements other than orifice plates.
- an averaging pitot tube 70 such as that disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,321 , 1 66 B1 , may be diametrically disposed across the opening of the ring wafer 32, with its high and low pressure conducting conduits connected to the conduits 71 and 72 housed in the stem 45.
