C.3 Dynamic Compensation Flow Equation

Dynamic

Compensation Flow

Equation

The Dynamic Compensation Flow Equation provides algorithms for use in determining a highly accurate PV4 flow variable for SMV 3000. Use dynamic compensation to measure liquids, gases, and steam.

Dynamic compensation flow equation compensates for:

temperature

pressure

density

discharge coefficient (gas, liquid, or steam)

thermal expansion factor

gas expansion factor

 

NOTE: A standard flow equation is also available which uses an empirical method of

 

 

calculation for PV4, thereby compensating only for temperature and pressure

 

 

changes in gas and steam applications. See Subsection C.2.

configuration program. The configuration examples show how to navigate

Examples

through the wizard program and enter values to configure the SMV PV4

 

 

flow variable for a given flow application. Examples for the following

 

applications are presented:

 

Liquid Propane

 

Air

 

Superheated Steam

 

The Dynamic Compensation Flow model wizard in the SCT 3000

 

program is launched from the Equation Model page of the Flow

 

Compensation Wizard.

Example: Liquid

 

An engineer has specified a SMV 3000 Smart Multivariable Transmitter

Propane

to dynamically compensate and calculate the mass flowrate of liquid

 

propane through a standard 304 SS orifice meter with flange taps. The

 

engineer has sized the orifice meter to produce a differential pressure of 64

 

inches H2O at 555.5 lb/m. The flowing pressure is 314.7 psia and the

 

flowing temperature is 100 degrees F.

The steps in Table C-3 shows how to configure the SMV to calculate the

PV4 flow variable for this application.
