About the sensor | 8 (87)
3 About the sensor
3.1 General
Valmet Blade Consistency Measurement, Valmet SP, is used for consistency
measurement in the pulp and paper industry. Its operation is based on the shear force
measurement principle. The sensor is installed directly to the stock pipeline.
Valmet SP standard delivery contains the following parts:

• Sensor with the selected sensing element (available materials: AISI316L,
254SMO).
• LINK operating unit with 10 m sensor cable.
• Process coupling, in the selected material (AISI316L/254SMO/Hastelloy/Titan/
Duplex).
• Mounting clamp assembly.
• Process seal (PTFE).
• 2 deflectors or protector plate (not used with UL and JL models).
Optional parts (not shown in the picture):
• Flow TR.
• 10 m extension for sensor cable.
• Blind flange.

B. Valmet LINK
C. Deflector plates
D. Cable (10 m)
E. Valmet NOVE sampler
F. Cable to mill system (in-
cluding power supply from
mill system), supplied by
customer
3.2 Construction
The metal parts coming in contact with the process medium may be made of different
materials according to application:
• AISI316 (used in most applications) or
• 254SMO (is equal to titanium).
Gaskets that come in contact with the process medium are made of PTFE and special
rubber.
The temperatures of the process, the force transducer and the sensor electronics are
measured, and the effects of temperature variations to consistency measurement are
arithmetically compensated for in the electronics. Oil damping is used to ensure that
pipework vibration will not affect the measurement. Oil inside increases sensor lifetime.
The taper pin of the sensing element is narrowed in one location to provide a
"mechanical fuse": if the sensing element is overloaded the pin will bend and thus
K21002 V1.1 EN - 1 - 10/2020

prevent damage to the interior parts of the device. The use of deflectors and/or FlowTR
turbulence reducer will further minimize the risk of sensing element failure.
3.3 Valmet LINK

The sensor is operated with a Valmet LINK
operating terminal. The operating terminal
consists of navigation buttons, number key-
pad, function buttons and high resolution
LCD display.
Only one sensor at a time can be connected
to the terminal. The operating terminal is de-
livered with a 10 m (33 ft) sensor cable. If a
longer cable is needed, use one or more ex-
tension cables (option; length 10 m / 33 ft),
max. 30 m / 99 ft.
Note:
LINK is not applicable with previous generations of Valmet SP sensors!
3.4 Choosing the sensing element

Several different sensing element types are available for use with the Valmet SP sensor.
The choice of sensing element is dependent on the consistency and flow velocity in the
intended application and installation position.
Each sensing element has an optimum "operating window", a matrix of flow velocity and
consistency. The sensor will operate also outside this optimum area, but the
measurement will be more sensitive to flow velocity variations or other disturbances.
See Technical specification for more details.
Valmet recommends using the Measurement Advisor program to select the best
sensing element. The program also calculates and prints the required minimum lengths
of straight pipe sections for installation. When the sensor is installed according to the
specified instructions, the effect of flow velocity variations on measurement accuracy
will be minimized. For more information, see http://measurementadvisor.valmet.com/ or
the official Valmet webpage valmet.com.
K21002 V1.1 EN - 1 - 10/2020

Note:
Blade type sensors work accurately only in laminar (plug) flow

environment. Any turbulence of flow will affect the measurement
accuracy and stability. It is therefore mandatory to study the flow
characteristics before choosing sensor location!
Figure 1: Sensing element types.
K21002 V1.1 EN - 1 - 10/2020

Installation | 12 (87)
4 Installation
4.1 Installation location

Recommended installation points are numbered in order of preference, the best one
first:
Figure 2: Preferred mounting locations.
1. Location A: The preferred location with regard to control loop lag time. If the
required length of straight pipe (L1 + L2) is not available, Turbulence reducer
FlowTR®-P pipe can be used, welding it in place as far away as possible after
pump. Note that the sensor should be mounted at a 90° angle to pump axis, to the
side where the pump throws the pulp. If the vertical section is shorter than the
FlowTR P pipe or if you want a better alternative, proceed to B1.
2. Location B1: The sensor is installed on the side of the line to prevent possible air
from disturbing the measurement. Notice that straight section L1 before the
sensor is 50 % longer than in alternative A. If the straight section is too short, you
can use FlowTR P pipe or proceed to alternative B2 or C.
K21002 V1.1 EN - 1 - 10/2020

3. Location B2: May be considered if the straight length of horizontal pipe is too
short for alternative B1. Installation on the top side of the pipe always requires
careful consideration, because a substantial buildup of air in the pipe may affect
measurement accuracy. Not recommended if any other option is available!
4. Location C: The sensor is installed on a vertical pipe after a pipe bend, on its
outer curve. The distance from pipe bend is L1. Measurement lag: refer to D.
5. Location D: This option may be considered when the horizontal and vertical
sections before the sensor are too short. The double bend before the
measurement point will cause problems when L’ < L1. The whirling flow produced
by the double bend has to be eliminated with FlowTR® P pipe (see chapter Flow
TR® turbulence reducer on page 28). In addition, remember that in this case the
control loop lag time is considerably longer than in alternative A.
4.2 Choosing the installation position

When choosing the installation position, consider the following requirements:
• The inside diameter of the pipe must be at least 100 mm, and flow velocity must be
in accordance with the Technical specifications. If required, the pipe diameter can
be altered so as to achieve the desired flow velocity.
• The pulp flow must be laminar, not turbulent!
• The sensor can only be installed in a vertical upflow pipe or a horizontal pipe.
• The pipe should have sufficiently long straight sections of uniform diameter on both
sides of the sensor. If this cannot be arranged, use FlowTR Turbulence Reducer.
• The sensor must be mounted at a 90° angle to the pump axis and on side of the
process pipe where pulp is discharged from the pump or pipe curve.
• The direction of a pipe bend after the sensor has no effect.
• In the side of the horizontal pipe line installation sensor and Nove sampler is
installed on the opposite side of the pipe. See the following pictures.
K21002 V1.1 EN - 1 - 10/2020

Figure 3: Correct installation point.
K21002 V1.1 EN - 1 - 10/2020

4.3 Calculating the straight pipe requirement manually

For minimum lengths of straight pipe sections without turbulence reducer FlowTR®, see
the figures in section Choosing the installation position.
L1min = k x D
L2min = 0.3 x L1min + 250 mm (9.8")
Example:
D = 250 mm (9.8"), Cs = 3 %, v = 2 m/s
L1min = 9 x 250 (9.8") = 2250 mm (88.6")
L2min = 0.3 x 2250 (88.6") + 250 (9.8") = 925 mm (36.4")
Figure 4: Determination of coefficient k as a function of pulp consistency and flow

velocity.
4.4 Low consistency installation

Low consistencies are measured with sensor option UL. Use FlowTR Pipe in main line
installations. To measure extremely low consistencies as accurately as possible, Valmet
recommends a bypass installation that will provide the required flow velocity and the
most laminar and stabilized flow. You should be able to limit the flow velocity between
0.1 m/s and 1 m/s. Do not use a deflector with the UL sensing element.
The bypass line is connected to the process line as follows:
K21002 V1.1 EN - 1 - 10/2020

• Consistency max. 2 % Cs: use diameter 25 mm pipe.

• Consistency max. 3 % Cs: use diameter 32 mm pipe.
• Consistency over 3 % Cs: use diameter 40 mm pipe.
Recommendation for the most representative sample into bypass line: Keep feed
valve always fully open. Flow rate to be adjusted by discharge valve only.
NOTE: Due to the risk of plugging, bypass installation is not suitable for
unscreened pulps.
Figure 5: Low consistency measurement with bypass line (UL).
K21002 V1.1 EN - 1 - 10/2020

4.5 High consistency installation

Model HL, the sensor for high consistencies, is installed on the small-diameter pipe
section following the stock pump. This will ensure sufficient flow velocity. This pipe
section usually includes other devices, such as a flowmeter and control valve.
To protect the sensing element, deflector plates supplied with the sensor must always
be installed in high consistency applications where standard process coupling is used.
In digester blowline installations use the process coupling SB. In this case a separate
deflector is not needed in front of the sensor.
Figure 6: Model HL (Cs 4...16 %) after MC pump.
K21002 V1.1 EN - 1 - 10/2020

4.6 Process coupling, standard

The standard process coupling is used for Val-
met SP installations with the following sensing
elements:
• LL
• LS
• GL
• RL
• HL
• UL
4.6.1 Using the welding guide (models LL, LS, GL, RL, HL)
Use the welding guide to make correctly dimensioned holes for the process coupling
and deflectors. See instructions in document K16110 at the end of this manual.
K21002 V1.1 EN - 1 - 10/2020

4.6.2 Welding the process coupling

Make sure the hole is clean of burrs both inside and outside, then weld the process
coupling to the pipe at exactly 90° angle (± 0.5°).
1. Attach the process coupling to the welding guide.
2. Equalize the height adjustment at both ends of the guide to ensure that the guide
is supported steadily on its end pieces and will not rock on the coupling.
3. Attach the welding guide to the process pipe with mounting straps.
4. Weld the coupling to the pipe at four points.
5. Remove the guide, double check that the coupling is mounted in the right
direction, and complete the welding.
K21002 V1.1 EN - 1 - 10/2020

4.6.3 Installation of sensor model UL
Note:
Deflectors are not used for this installation!
Installation in a bypass line (see chapter Low consistency installation on page 15).
Install the process coupling as described above.
When installing in the actual process line use FlowTR P Pipe.
4.7 Process coupling, type SB

The SB process coupling is used when Val-
met SP with HL sensing element is installed
to the digester blowline.
Install the coupling with single bevel weld at a
90° angle against the pipe. Make sure that
the deflector is exactly in line with the center
line of the pipe. The lower edge of the cou-
pling should be level with the pipe inner wall.
Install the backflow deflector in line with the
center line of the coupling.
Observe the regulations concerning pressur-
ized vessel installations when welding the
coupling!
Note:
When using the welding guide, only make one cut for the backflow
deflector!
K21002 V1.1 EN - 1 - 10/2020

Figure 7: Installing the blowline coupling SB to process.
K21002 V1.1 EN - 1 - 10/2020

4.8 Process coupling, type WS
Note:
Do not use the standard welding

guide for this process coupling!
1. Cut a 9 mm by 182 mm bevelled hole in the pipe

for the deflector.
2. Place the coupling on the pipe and draw the out-
line of the coupling bore on the pipe.
3. Cut out the mounting hole. Remove all burrs from
the hole and round its edges.
4. Weld the coupling.
5. Install the backflow deflector in line with the cou-
pling center line.
K21002 V1.1 EN - 1 - 10/2020

Figure 8: Installation of WS process coupling.
K21002 V1.1 EN - 1 - 10/2020

4.9 Process coupling, type TJ

This process coupling type is used when
installing Valmet SP with JL sensing ele-
ment to a fiberglass-reinforced plastic
pipe.
Make a bevelled hole in the process pipe-
line. Laminate the process coupling care-
fully to the pipe in accordance with lami-
nation instructions.
Note:
Deflectors are not used with the TJ process coupling!
Figure 9: Installation JL process coupling TJ.
K21002 V1.1 EN - 1 - 10/2020

4.10 Reinforcing the process coupling

When process pressure is over 10 bar and/or there is exceptionally strong vibration, the
mounting of the process coupling should be reinforced with a reinforcing ring. The area
where the deflectors are inserted should also be reinforced in the same way.
Figure 10: Reinforcing process coupling.

Note:
If the pipe wall is thicker than what is indicated in the table, the
thickness of the reinforcing ring can be reduced correspondingly.
K21002 V1.1 EN - 1 - 10/2020

4.11 Installing deflector

The deflector, located downstream from the sensing element, is only used in
applications with a risk of back flow that might damage the sensor (e.g. when stopping
or starting the process). The deflectors must be centered exactly in line with the process
coupling. The deflectors have Ø 5 mm holes to facilitate installation; for instance, you
may insert a piece of wire through the holes. Deflector distances L3 and L4 (see the
picture in Welding the process coupling on page 19).
• LL/LS/GL/RL: L3 = L4 = 300 mm (11.8").
• HL: L3 = L4 = 150 mm (5.9").
• HL with blow line process coupling SB: front deflector is not used, L4 = 150 mm
(5.9").

1. Place the PTFE gasket (1) in the groove on the flange of the sensor (2).
K21002 V1.1 EN - 1 - 10/2020

2. Insert the sensor to the process coupling (3) and attach the mounting clamp (4).
Ensure that the sensing element is parallel with the direction of flow (± 1°): use a ruler
placed against the bottom of the aligning slot (5) to align the sensor.
Make sure the surfaces of the process coupling and the sampler are in full contact and
correctly centered in relation to each other, and fasten the sampler to the process
coupling with the mounting clamp included in delivery. Using a torque wrench, tighten
the clamp to torque 37 Nm.
Fasten the clamp equally on both sides: the distance between the two halves of the
clamp must be the same at both ends.
When required, the process coupling can be shut with a blind flange (6).

Flow TR® turbulence reducer | 28 (87)
5 Flow TR® turbulence reducer
5.1 Types
FlowTR® L, Plates: A pair of turbulence reducer plates with welding guides. See
product numbers for different pipe sizes.
FlowTR® P, Pipe: A ready-made pipe element with turbulence reducer plates and
Valmet SP process coupling; Nove process coupling as option. See product numbers
for different pipe sizes.
FlowTR® N: FlowTR® P with Nove process coupling.
5.2 Applicability
FlowTR® can be used with all sensor types (also at Cs > 2 %) except JL, WS and HL.
FlowTR® enables consistency measurement with sensor also in the most severe
turbulent flow conditions, close to double pipe curves and similar locations in short
straight pipe sections, also in case of large pipe sizes.
FlowTR® with the sensor is a potential combination also for challenging pulp mill
applications.
In easier applications where the installation instructions in this manual can be followed,
using FlowTR® may improve measurement accuracy, especially with recycled fiber
pulps.
Using FlowTR® is always recommended when fiber consistency is < 2 % in main line
measurement applications.
Rule of thumb: Distance L1 (see Installation location) can be reduced by 50% with the
help of Flow TR; however, always find as much distance L1 as possible.
5.3 Installation instructions

To avoid too long measurement lag, do not install FlowTR® very far from the stock
pump.
No specified straight pipe sections, as the L1/L2 dimensions given for sensor are
needed for sensor with FlowTR®, but make use of the available straight pipe sections
only.
Install FlowTR® L plates to the existing pipe (see Installation of FlowTR® L) or replace a
1500 mm long process pipe section with a FlowTR® P Pipe (see Installation of FlowTR®
P).
K21002 V1.1 EN - 1 - 10/2020

FlowTR® can be installed on vertical or horizontal pipes. Install to the side of a

horizontal pipe.
Note:
Welding rules must be observed in installation!
Note:
FlowTR® P wall thickness must not be less than wall thickness of the
existing process pipe at the installation point.

5.6 Installation of deflector with Flow TR

Install a front deflector to protect the Valmet SP sensing element if severe hits from fiber
lumps are to be expected. If back flow hits are to be expected, also install a back
deflector.
Both deflectors are the same as used with sensor. Two deflector + process coupling is
included in Valmet SP delivery. Deflectors are welded as turbulence reducer plates.
• H = 95 for pipe sizes 150 mm (5.9") and larger.
• H = 75 for pipe sizes < 150 mm (5.9").

Operating terminal | 37 (87)
6 Operating terminal
6.1 Mechanical installation
Note:
Do not mount the operating terminal to a structure that is subjected to

vibrations: for example a process pipe, pipe support, or any structure
connected to a process pipe.
When selecting a place for the operating ter-

minal, remember that terminal is delivered
with a 10 m (33 ft) sensor cable. If a longer
cable is needed, use one or more extension
cables (option; length 10 m / 33 ft). Maximum
cable length is 30 m / 99 ft. If the required ca-
ble is longer than 30 m, please contact your
Valmet representative for further advice.
Attach the operating terminal to the wall or
other non-vibrating location with three mount-
ing screws in a place that is easily accessed.
Suitable mounting level is 160–165 cm (5 ft
3–5") from the floor to the upper mounting
hole.

6.3 Current output connections

The current output of the sensor is pas-
sive. The figure shows the load capacity
of the current output as a function of sup-
ply voltage. Resistance here is the sum
of load resistor, cable resistance, and
power source resistance in the current
loop.
Connection options:
1. Loop powered with two current loops, passive outputs. This is the default setting.
Isolated DCS system needed. Verify the position of the active/passive current output
selection switch!
AOH1+ = Analog Output 1 with HART

AOH1- = Analog Output 1 with HART
AO2+ = Analog Output 2
AO2- = Analog Output 2
2. 24 V powered with optional Power

Supply assembly. Verify the position of
the active/passive current output selec-
tion switch! Two active current outputs in
terminals 9/10 & 11/12. Terminals 1 DCIN
and 2 DGND are only used for internal 24
VDC supply.
K21002 V1.1 EN - 1 - 10/2020

6.4 Binary input connections

Binary inputs are used to send
control data from the DCS to the
device. Binary input configura-
tion is described in section
Transmitter settings on page
53.
If all binary input data comes
from the same source, BIN1/2/3
COM and BIN4 COM must be
connected with a separate wire.
Binary input 4 can also be used

from an external system that is
not part of the control system,
for example Process Stop info.
Ground the cable shield to Ter-

minal earth at the control system
side.

6.6 Connecting the sensor cable

When connecting the sensor cable,
make sure that the connectors are
correctly aligned. Make sure that the
connector goes correctly into its
thread, and use only your fingers to
tighten it. When correctly aligned the
connector can be screwed manually
all the way in, ensuring a good con-
tact.
If the connector is not properly
aligned, some of the thread remains
visible and the thread may be dam-
aged if the connector is forced deep-
er. Poor cable connection may cause
"Sensor Communication Error" mes-
sages.

1. Sensor installed according to Valmet guidelines
2. Process running stable at normal consistency level and normal flow rate.
3. Sampler designed for pulp sampling installed close to sensor.
4. Routines for sampling and sample handling established and followed at all times.
Note:
See Taking sample(s) on page 65 and Analyzing laboratory samples

on page 66 for optimal calibration results.
10.2 General
The sensor is fine-tuned during the final factory test phase so that it can perform a
measurement without calibration. To meet the promised measurement performance and
specifications, proper calibration must be performed!
Calibration procedure:
1. Setting the recipe.
2. Taking sample(s).
3. Analyzing laboratory samples.
4. Entering laboratory value(s) to the sample table.
5. Selecting sample points.
6. Calibration.

Set the filler content if required; if the ex- 2.1.1.4 Filler %

act ash content is not known, 0.0 is rec-
ommended. Even if there is filler, you 0.0
may accept 0.00% as the ash content,
provided that you do not want to change
the ash content later without sampling
and laboratory analysis.
Valmet SP is insensitive to fillers, this function will compensate for filler content but no
actual measurement of fillers is possible.
In practice, the filler content is compensated automatically since the laboratory
evaluation gives the total consistency value (fibers and fillers), and the filler content can
then be set on 0. If the filler content changes, the correct content should be entered at
the first calibration. The filler content will then be added as a compensated value to the
real measured value, fiber consistency, from the sensor.
You can create 1 to 8 recipes, each of which can be calibrated separately on the basis
of sampling and laboratory analysis. You can also add new recipes later on, change
existing ones or reset recipes.

Note:
When selecting two samples for two-point calibration, the lab. values of
the samples must differ from each other by at least 25 %, calculated
from the lower value. The reason for this limit is that a small error in lab
value could give a large deviation in the Gain factor.

11 Diagnostics
11.1 Troubleshooting
The sensor monitors its own operation continuously. When faults are detected, the
display shows an error message. Not all problems can be found by self-diagnostics, and
in such cases user action is required. The necessary actions are listed for each error
message.
1. Substantial deviation is observed between sensor consistency reading and
laboratory results, but sensor measures as usual and responds to consistency.
The most common causes for this error are:
• Pulp type or mixing ratio has changed.
• The amount of filler in the pulp varies.
• Sensor has not been installed as instructed, and turbulent flow occurs at the
measuring point.
• Flow velocity is below/above the specified limit.
• Pulp type is not correct for the installed sensing element type.
• There is a double pipe bend upstream from the sensor, and the installation
does not include a flow straightener FlowTR element to eliminate the resulting
strong whirling flow.
• Fiber properties have changed.
• Pulp has accumulated on the sensor surface, on the taper pin and in the inlet
cone.
Actions: Remove the sensor from the process. Then use the service stand and
weights to test whether the sensor measures the weights correctly with the
Sensor Tuning function. After the initial start-up and calibration, sensor operation
should be regularly monitored with samples and the zero point readjusted when
necessary. Record all maintenance actions in a sensor specific log.
2. Sensor does not respond to consistency.
• Remove the sensor from the process and mount it on the service stand. Load
the sensing element with different weights and use the Sensor Tuning
function to determine the change in output relative to the applied load.
• Deflect the sensing element alternately in the plus and minus directions and
see whether the output reading returns to the same value at the same load.
K21002 V1.1 EN - 1 - 10/2020

• Measure the output current and compare the result to the sensor reading.
• Open the electronics housing cover and ensure that all wires are firmly
connected to the terminal pins. Correcting this fault usually requires factory
service!
