Function and system design

Measuring principle The measuring principle is based on the controlled generation of Coriolis forces. These forces always occur in a system where translational (linear) and rotational movements are superimposed simultaneously. FC = 2 m (v ) FC = Coriolis force m = moving mass = rotational velocity v = radial velocity in rotating or oscillating system The size of the Coriolis force depends on the moving mass m, its velocity v in the system, and thus the mass flow. Instead of a constant rotational velocity , Promass uses oscillation. In the sensor, two parallel measuring tubes containing flowing fluid oscillate in antiphase, acting like a tuning fork. The Coriolis forces produced at the measuring tubes cause a phase shift in the tube oscillations (see illustration): At zero flow, in other words when the fluid is at a standstill, the two tubes oscillate in phase (1). Mass flow causes deceleration of the tube oscillation at the inlet (2) and acceleration at the outlet (3).

The phase difference (A-B) increases with increasing mass flow. Electrodynamic sensors register the tube oscillations at the inlet and outlet. System balance is ensured by the antiphase oscillation of the two measuring tubes. The measuring principle works independently of temperature, pressure, viscosity, conductivity and flow profile. Density measurement The measuring tubes are always excited at their resonance frequency. A change in the mass and thus the density of the oscillating system (comprising measuring tubes and fluid) results in a corresponding, automatic adjustment in the exciter frequency. Resonance frequency is thus a function of fluid density. The microprocessor utilizes this relationship to obtain a density signal. Temperature measurement To make calculations to compensate for temperature effects, the temperature of the measuring tubes is measured. This signal corresponds to the process temperature and is also available as an output signal.

Influence of medium temperature Influence of medium pressure

When there is a difference between the temperature for zero point adjustment and the process temperature, the typical measured error is 0.0003% of the full scale value/C. The following section shows the effect on accuracy of mass flow due to a difference between calibration pressure and process pressure is negligible.

Operating conditions: Installation

Installation instructions Note the following points: No special measures such as supports are necessary. The housing absorbs external forces. The high oscillation frequency of the measuring tubes ensures that the correct operation of the measuring system is not influenced by pipe vibrations. No special precautions need to be taken for fittings which create turbulence (valves, elbows, T-pieces, etc.). Turning the transmitter housing The transmitter housing can be rotated counterclockwise continuously up to 360.

Zero point adjustment All measuring devices are calibrated with state-of-the-art technology. The zero point obtained in this way is printed on the nameplate. Calibration takes place under reference operating conditions ( Page 6). Therefore, a zero point adjustment is generally not required! If you want to carry out a zero point adjustment, note the following points before doing so: The calibration can be carried out under stable pressure conditions only. The zero point adjustment is carried out a zero flow. This can be achieved, for example, with shutoff valves upstream and/or downstream of the sensor or by using existing valves and gates. Normal operation Valves 1 and 2 open Zero point adjustment with process pressure * Valve 1 open / valve 2 closed Zero point adjustment without process pressure * Valve 1 open / valve 2 closed A zero point adjustment is not possible if the SECURITY function is enabled or if an error message is pending.

Custody transfer measurement

CNGmass is a flowmeter for Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) that is suitable for custody transfer measurement. Custody transfer variables Suitability for custody transfer measurement, approval by the Standards Authorities, repeated calibration due to legal metrology controls Approval for custody transfer Mass flow All flowmeters are typically verified on site using reference measurements. Only once it has been approved by the authority for legal metrology controls may the measuring device be regarded as verified and used for applications subject to legal metrology controls. The associated seal on the measuring device ensures this status.

The following guidelines for the custody transfer process were developed in accordance with the following authorities for legal metrology controls:
PTB NMi Germany Netherlands METAS BEV Switzerland Austria NTEP MC USA Canada

Verification process Setting up custody transfer mode

The verification process is regulated by national rules or regulations. The flowmeter must be locked for custody transfer measurement. For this purpose, the switches (c + d) are moved to the position shown below (1). You receive confirmation from the status LED ( Page 12). Then, fit the cover and have the safety claw sealed by a person authorized to do so (2).

Disabling custody transfer mode

The flowmeter can be reset to exit custody transfer mode. To do so, destroy and remove the seal on the safety claw (1). This process may be carried out by authorized personnel only. Open the cover. Return switches (c + d) to the position shown below (2). You receive confirmation from the status LED ( Page 12).
