ST51 MASS FLOW METER Installation and Operation Guide

ST51 MASS FLOW METER

Installation and Operation Guide

Pre-Installation

The ST51 can be specified with integral or remote electronics. The flow element has a serial number etched into the side of the extension pipe as shown on figure A. The transmitter circuit card has a serial number noted on the board as shown in figure B. The flow sensor and transmitter circuit have been calibrated as a matched set and should be paired together in service unless otherwise approved by a factory technician.

Flow Direction Alignment

All sensor elements have a flow arrow indicator marked on the element assembly at the reference flat. These flow elements have been calibrated in a particular direction and are designed to be used in service with the flow arrow facing in the same direction as flow in the pipe stream. See Appendix C for orientation and factory calibration details.

Recommended Straight Run

Figure B

To optimize flow meter system performance, FCI recommends installation with a minimum of 20 pipe diameters upstream straight run and 10 pipe diameters of downstream straight run. Where straight run limitations significantly reduce the available pipe diameters, FCI utilizes Vortab flow conditioners to produce a transferable flow profile from the calibration installation to actual field installations.

FCI’s proprietary AVAL software is available to make flow meter installation evaluations where straight run limitations are considered.

See Fig C for recommended installation.

Figure C

FCI Flow Meters may be installed with less than the recommended straight run, but may have performance limitations. FCI offers

Vortab flow conditioners for use in applications that have significant straight run limitations. FCI uses the AVAL application modeling software to predict meter performance in each installation. AVAL outputs are available to review prior to order placement and will indicate performance expectations both with and without Vortab Flow Conditioning.

ST51 MASS FLOW

Installing Flow Element

Insertion Depth


Warning: The element is shipped with a protective sleeve surrounding the flow element. After removing the sleeve, take care to prevent the element from sliding through the compression fitting and contacting the opposing wall with any force as it may cause damage to the element and potentially upset the calibration.

The ST51 is available with both Teflon compression fitting ferrules and metal ferrules. While the Teflon ferrule configuration can be readjusted, it is possible that over tightening may result in permanent positioning or damage to the extension pipe and will make future adjustment difficult. While Teflon provides for some adjustability, it has a lower process pressure rating and is not designed for continuous adjustments. The metal ferrule version can only be tightened down once and it becomes permanently positioned. The

Ferrule type is indicated in the instrument part number displayed on the instrument tag. This can be cross referenced to the ordering information sheet.

All flow meters have been calibrated with the flow element located at the centerline of the pipe and flow stream as indicated in Figure

D. Couplings and threadolets come in various dimensions. Proper installation requires that the element be measured with consideration to process connection dimensions and pipe centerline. FCI recommends that the element be first installed in the line with the compression fitting lightly tightened around the extension, then slowly move the pipe extension forward until the element is at centerline as shown.

Warning: On top mount installations, particularly, take care to prevent the element from sliding through the compression fitting and contacting the opposing wall with any force as it may cause damage to the element and potentially upset the calibration.

FLOW ELEMENT INSTALLATION & “U” LENGTH ADJUSTMENT

Figure D

Note: For proper performance, element shall be installed so that tip of probe is .25 inches [ 6mm] past pipe centerline. Instrument is specifically calibrated for centerline referenced installation. Critical for line sizes 4" [ 25mm] and smaller.

FLUID COMPONENTS INTERNATIONAL LLC ST51 MASS FLOW

To assist in final installation, FCI suggests making a readable mark on the extension pipe to indicate the final desired compression fitting position that will place the element at the centerline reference once the system is tightened down into place. With the compression fitting lightly tightened , hold the element assembly along the outside of the installation, or directly above, to visually verify the compression fitting location will ensure centerline installation. To calculate the actual “U” length dimension, take the inside diameter of the pipe or duct divide by 2 , then add 0.25", then add for the pipe wall thickness and the process fitting offset that allows the compression fitting to securely seat in the process port. See Figure D above.

Align the flat parellel to flow and adjust the instrument depth. Upon determination of the final compression fitting location on the extension pipe, apply the proper thread sealant to the NPT threads, firmly tighten the compression fitting into the mating process connection. Torque varies per application. Tighten the compression nut to the torque indicated with the corresponding ferrule material. Manufacturer recommends 1-1/4 turns from hand tight baseline.

316 SST 65 ft – lbs

Instrument Wiring

Before the instrument is opened to connect power and signal, FCI recommends that the following ESD precautions be observed:

Use a wrist band or heel strap with a 1 megaohm resistor connected to ground. If the instrument is in the shop setting, there should be a static conductive mat on the work table or floor with a 1 megaohm resistor connected to ground. Connect the instrument to ground.

Apply antistatic agents such as Static free made by Chemtronics (or equivalent) to hand tools to be used on the instrument. Keep high static producing items away from the instrument.

The above precautions are minimum requirements. The complete use of ESD precautions can be found in the U.S. Dept of defense handbook 263.

Warning: Only Qualified personnel are to wire or test this instrument. The operator assumes all responsibility for safe practices while wiring and trouble shooting.

FCI recommends installing and input power disconnect switch and fuse near the instrument to interrupt power during installation and maintenance. Operator must have power disconnected before wiring.

Input Power

The ST51 is available with both VDC and VAC input power configurations. Customers selecting VDC input power will have a VDC input board only. Similarly, the VAC power board is supplied only with VAC powered units. In addition, both boards are marked for either AC or DC power. Only connect the power specified on the wiring module as shown on Figures E and F respectively. Both

VAC and VDC inputs require a Gnd wire to be connected. Input power terminal blocks are rated for 14-26 AWG.

To wire the instrument, ensure that the power is off. Pull the power and signal output wires through the port, using care not to damage wires. FCI recommends using crimp lugs on the output wires to ensure proper connection with the terminal strip. Connect the output wires as shown on figures E and F. Note that when the 4-20mA outputs are used simultaneously, a single return lead is used.

Analog Output

4-20mA: The instrument is provided with a standard set up, of two 4-20mA outputs. Output 1 configured for flow and Output 2 configured for temperature. Terminal blocks rated for 14-28 AWG., 500 ohm max load per output.

Setup Interface

All parameters on this meter are set through the RS232 interface connection (P3 plug) or PDA IR interface. A jumper selection determines which communication mode is active. The factory default communication mode is set for the RS232 interface. This setting allows the instrument to be setup with either a FC88 hand held communicator or a computer. The FC88 is powered through the meter and comes with the serial interface cable. If a computer interface is used, an adapter (RJ to 9 pin Computer Serial Port) is required and may be obtained from FCI: Part No. 014108-02.

Using Windows Terminal (usually located in Accessories) execute the program by double-clicking on the Terminal Icon.

1. Go to Settings.

2. Click on Communication.

3. Set for COM1 or COM2, 9600 Baud, 8 Bit, and No Parity. Press OK

4. Press the ENTER key to see the Input Mode? prompt.

5. Enter any of the meters single letter commands to execute a function (reference complete function menu in Appendix B).

If the PDA IR interface is used for communication, then jumper JP5 needs to be moved to the alternate position, see Figure G and H.

See PDA IR Communication Interface section for more details.

An additional command line interface (CLI) is available through the RS232 port. This interface is accessed with the “Y” command using a computer or FC88. The command line password is “357”. See Appendix B - Table 6 for command line details.

Menu Control and Organization

Most entries require at least two key strokes; a Capital letter and the [ENTER] key, or one or more numbers and the [ENTER] key. All user entries begin at the input mode prompt “>”,except when the instrument is in the Main Function Mode (just press the desired function letter and [ENTER] to make an entry).

Backspaces are made using the backspace [BKSP] key. Some entries are case sensitive between numbers and letters. Be sure the

SHIFT key is pressed to indicate the correct case. A square after the prompt caret indicates the FC88 is in lower case. A slightly raised rectangle in the same spot indicates the FC88 is in the upper case.

It is recommended that the FC88 be plugged into the instrument before power is applied. If the FC88 is plugged in while the instrument power is on and the FC88 does not respond, press [ENTER], if there is still no response Press [N] or cycle the power.

Note:

The Zero and Span may be changed from the original calibration, provided the new values are within the original calibrated range. i.e. If the original calibration was 1 to 100 SCFM (4-20mA), the new zero (4mA) must be equal to or greater than 1

SCFM, the new span (20mA) must be equal to or less than 100 SCFM.

Some entries require a Factory pass code. If this occurs contact FCI Field Service to continue programming the instrument. The instrument will prompt the user when this is necessary. Do not change any parameters that require this code unless there is an absolute understanding of the instrument's operation. The user can not exit some routines unless all entries are completed or the power is recycled.

Maintenance


The FCI instrument requires little maintenance. There are no moving parts or mechanical parts subject to wear in the instrument. The sensor assembly which is exposed to the process media is composed of 316 SS and Hastelloy C.

Without detailed knowledge of the environmental parameters of the application surroundings and process media, FCI cannot make specific recommendations for periodic inspection, cleaning, or testing procedures. However, some suggested general guidelines for maintenance steps are offered below. Use operating experience to establish the frequency of each type of maintenance.

Calibration

Periodically verify the calibration of the output and recalibrate if necessary. FCI recommends every 18 months at a minimum.

Electrical Connections

Periodically inspect cable connections on terminal strips and terminal blocks. Verify that terminal connections are tight and physically sound with no sign of corrosion.

Remote Enclosure

Verify that the moisture barriers and seals protecting the electronics in the local enclosure is adequate and that no moisture is entering the enclosure.

Electrical Wiring

FCI recommends occasional inspection of the system’s interconnecting cable, power wiring and flow element wiring on a “common sense” basis related to the application environment. Periodically the conductors should be inspected for corrosion and the cable insulation checked for signs of deterioration.

Flow Element Connections

Verify that all seals are performing properly and that there is no leakage of the process media. Check for deterioration of the gaskets and environmental seals used.

Insertion Type Flow Element Assembly

Periodically remove the flow element for inspection based on historical evidence of debris, foreign matter, or scale build-up and appropriate plant shutdown schedules and procedures. Check for corrosion, stress cracking, and/or build-up of oxides, salts, or foreign substances. The thermowells must be free of excessive contaminants and be physically intact. Any debris or residue build-up could cause inaccurate flow indication. Clean the flow element, as necessary, with a soft brush and available solvents (compatible with

Stainless Steel).

Troubleshooting

ST51 MASS FLOW

Application Verification

After verifying that the flow meter is functioning, review the application parameters as shown below to verify the calibration matches the process media.

Equipment Needed

Flow Instrument Calibration Data

Process Parameters and Limits

Check Serial Numbers

Verify that the serial number of the flow element and the flow transmitter electronics are the same. The flow element and the flow transmitter are a matched set and cannot be operated independently of each other.

Check the Instrument Installation

Verify correct mechanical and electrical installation. Verify the flow element is mounted at least 20 diameters downstream and 10 diameters upstream from any bends or interference in the process pipe or duct.

Check for Moisture

Check for moisture on the flow transmitter. Moisture may cause intermittent operation. Check for moisture on the flow element. If a component of the process media is near its saturation temperature it may condense on the flow element. Place the flow element where the process media is well above the saturation temperature of any of the process gases.

Check Application Design Requirements

Application design problems may occur with first time application instruments, although the design should also be checked on instruments that have been in operation for some time. If the application design does not match field conditions, errors occur.

1. Review the application design with plant operation personnel and plant engineers.

2. Ensure that plant equipment such as pressure and temperature instruments conform to the actual conditions.

3. Verify operating temperature, operating pressure, line size, and gas medium.

Verify Standard Versus Actual Process Conditions

The flowmeter measures the mass flow rate. The mass flow rate is the mass of the gas flowing through a pipe per time. Other flow meters, such as an orifice plate or a pitot tube, measure the volumetric flow rate. The volumetric flow rate is the volume of gas per time. If the readings displayed do not agree with another instrument, some calculations may be necessary before comparing them. To calculate the mass flow rate, the volumetric flow rate, and the pressure and temperature, the point of measurement must be known. Use the following equation to calculate the mass flow rate (Standard Volumetric Flow rate) for the other instrument:

Hardware Verification

Equipment Required:

Digital Multimeter

Screw Driver

The ST51 Flowmeter is comprised of 4 basic components:

1. Sensor element.

2. Customer interface circuit board

3. Control circuit assembly circuit board module.

4. Electronics enclosure.

ST51 MASS FLOW

Step 1

Verify fuse (F1) located on the customer interface circuit board is in normal working condition.

Remove power from the instrument. Open the electronics enclosure exposing the customer interface circuit board. This circuit board is located under the shorter enclosure lid along with all of the power and input/output connections. Unscrew the clear cover on the fuse and pull the fuse out of the fuse holder. Check the fuse for continuity. If fuse reads open, replace with equivalent component

(FCI part no. 019933-01), Wickmann Inc. series 374, amp code 1160, package 41.

Fuse (F1)

Ac power customer interface circuit board shown. Fuse (F1) on DC power customer interface circuit board located in similar position.

Step 2

Verify interconnecting cable from the customer interface board and the control circuit board assembly module are correctly seated into the appropriate header.

Remove power from the instrument. Open the electronics enclosure exposing the customer interface circuit board. This circuit board is located under the shorter enclosure lid along with all of the power and input/output connections. Remove the 2 screws securing the interface circuit board to the electronics enclosure. Carefully lift the interface face board exposing the interconnecting cable between the interface board and the control circuit assembly. Verify cable is seated firmly at both ends of the cable header.

Cable Header

Doc. No. 06EN003389 Rev. -


Step 3

Verify sensor element continuity and resistance.

Remove sensor element cable from the bottom of the control circuit assembly. Note that 2 of the wires have a red stripe and are located closest to the interconnecting cable header. Using an ohm meter verify that resistance between the 2 red striped wires is approximately 1100 ohms +/- 20. This resistance is temperature dependant. The resistance at 70 degrees F should be 1082 ohms.

Verify the resistance between the 2 natural colored wires are approximately the same.
