Performing Calculations and Sizing
Using the process data that you have entered you can now calculate the bore of the orifice
plate 101-FE -100 and size your control valve 101-FV -100. You perform these procedures in
the Calculation module.

Task 1 — Calculating Flowmeter Parameters

This task involves calculating Flowmeter tag properties in the Calculation module.

Calculate Flowmeter Parameters

1. To open the Calculation module, do one of the following:

On the main toolbar, click .

On the main menu bar, click Modules > Calculation.

2. On the module toolbar, click (Flowmeter).

3. On the Enter Tag Number dialog box, click Find.

4. On the Find Tag dialog box, click Find.

5. Select tag number 101-FE-100 and click OK.

6. On the Enter Tag Number dialog box, click OK.

The calculation sheet for the selected instrument is displayed with instrument
process data already populated.

7. On the module toolbar, click (Calculate) to open the Flowmeter Calculation dialog
box, where you can calculate the orifice diameter.

8. On the Flowmeter Calculation dialog box, do the following:

a. Under Orifice, from the Material list, select

PLAIN CARBON STEEL (ANSI B36.19 & B36.10).

b. Under Select calculate field, select Orifice diameter as the parameter to be

calculated.
 c. Enter the differential range as shown.

9. Click Calculate to perform the calculation.

On completion of the calculation, you should obtain the following results:

 10. When done, click Close to return to the Flowmeter Calculation window.

11. On the module toolbar, click (Save).

12. Close the Flowmeter Calculation dialog box to return to the Flowmeter Calculation
window.

13. Click (Report) to generate and preview the calculation report.

14. Click and type a revision. For details, see Define Process Data for a Line (see Define
Line Process Data).

15. Close the Flowmeter Calculation window for 101-FE -100.

Task 2 — Calculating and Sizing Control Valve Parameters

This task involves sizing and calculating the control valve tag in the Calculation module.

Calculate and Size Control Valve Parameters

1. On the Calculation module toolbar, click (Control Valve).

2. On the Enter Tag Number dialog box, type the instrument tag number

101-FV-100 and click OK to display the calculation sheet for the control valve
instrument.

3. Ensure that the Line Number field displays 4"-P-1501-11H and all highlighted fields in
the Properties section contain data as shown.

4. On the toolbar, click (Calculate) to open the Control Valve Calculation dialog box
where you calculate and size the control valve.

5. Enter data as shown:

 6. Click Calculate to perform the calculation.

The results are displayed on completion of the calculation as shown for: Cv, Regime,
and Noise.

7. When done, click Close to return to the Control Valve Calculation window.

8. On the toolbar, click .

9. Click to generate and preview the calculation report.

10. Click to open the Revisions dialog box, and type a revision.

11. Close all Calculation Module windows.

You have now successfully completed the calculations required for this tutorial. The software
will subsequently use the calculation results in the specification sheets of these instruments.
