Section 1: Introduction1.1 Purpose of this manual

Daniel Measurement & Control Inc. designed this manual to guide owners and personnel in the installation, operation and maintenance of the DanielTM SimplexTM Orifice Fitting.

To ensure safe and proper installation, operation and maintenance, it is imperative that product owners and operation personnel read and follow the information contained in this manual.

1.2 Description

The Daniel Simplex Orifice Fitting (Simplex) is an orifice plate holding device that houses, and accurately positions, an orifice plate within a pipe or tube to measure fluid flow. It is just one component of an orifice plate flow measurement system. The Simplex is designed to position an orifice plate, concentric to flow moving through a pipe or tube within API 14.3.2 or ISO 5167 location requirements.

The orifice plate held within a Simplex restricts flow moving through the pipe or tube. This restriction creates what is known as a differential pressure. Differential pressure is the difference in pressure between two points. Within an orifice plate flow measurement system differential pressure across an orifice plate held within a Simplex is the difference between the pressure at the upstream meter tap before the gas passes through the orifice (one point) and the pressure at the downstream meter tap after it has passed through the orifice (the second point).

The rate of flow moving through the Simplex is determined from the recorded values of differential pressure. These values, along with other information gathered from the flowing fluid and other elements, are used to calculate the amount of fluid passing through the flow measurement system.

The Simplex single chamber design allows for the inspection and the replacement of an orifice plate without removing the Simplex from the pipe or tube. Therefore, using a Simplex eliminates the effort required to remove and inspect an orifice plate housed in conventional orifice flange union installations.

Daniel designs and manufactures all Simplex units to applicable AGA recommendations and in accordance with selected ANSI, ASME, ASTM and ISO 5167 specifications.

Products bearing the “CE” mark are designed and manufactured in compliance with the European Union Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/EC.

Environmental parameters:

• Application: Surface conditions (no sub-sea applications).

• Confined/open: Designed for outdoor use. May be used in well ventilated spaces (buildings / enclosures - meter houses). Installation at product owner’s discretion.

• Site temperature: Material of construction dependent. (Example: WCB maximum: +200 F (+93 C), minimum: -20 F (-28 C)).

• Site humidity: No limit

• Site elevation: No limit

• Proximity to population: For new installations, placement of the Simplex shall be at a location that has fewer than 10 buildings intended for human occupancy within an area that extends 220 yards (200 meters) radially from the Orifice Fitting. (Reference: Class 1 Location: U.S. DOT, CFR Title 49: Part 192.5).

• Proximity to traffic: A Simplex must be protected from accidental damage by vehicular traffic or other similar causes, either by being placed at a safe distance from the traffic or by installing barricades.

Interface parameters:

• Replacement parts: Use only replacement parts specified by Daniel. Unauthorized parts and procedures can affect this product’s performance and place the safe operation of your process at risk.

• After market attachments: Use of pressure sensing equipment, drain valves and other accessories (e.g., needle valves, multi-port valves, transmitters, 3- pin recorders...etc.) are permissible. The use of after-market equipment must be installed and operated as directed by the after-market equipment manufacturer, and their warranties and replacements are not contained within the scope of this document.

• Pipe supports: Support the flow measurement system (or meter tube) at regular intervals to prevent bending due to the weight of the system, as well as the weight of the measured fluid. Since all meter tubes are unique, it is important that an engineer design a piping system, which can place support for each tube during regular intervals. Proper support placement can reduce the potential of creating stress at welded joints and flanges, which may lead to leaks and may ultimately lead to failure or rupture of the flow measurement system.

• Vandalism / Tampering: It is the responsibility of each product owner to protect the Simplex from vandalism, tampering or other unauthorized activity.

Section 2: Installation

2.1 General information

The Daniel Simplex Orifice Fitting is an essential element in an orifice plate flow measurement system. Other elements in the system usually include, but are not limited to, a meter tube, a flow conditioner, and various data recording devices. Purchasers have the option of acquiring only a Simplex from Daniel for later installation in a flow measurement system, or purchasing a complete orifice plate flow measurement system containing a Simplex.

If a Simplex is purchased separately from a measurement system, then it is the responsibility of the product operators or product owners to assemble and test the flow measurement system containing the Simplex.

Daniel tests every Simplex unit to a hydrostatic pressure of 1.5 times its rated maximum allowable operating pressure at the factory under controlled conditions. Purchasers have the option to order these results from Daniel prior to testing.

When assembling a flow measurement system that will contain a Simplex, particular attention should be paid to the requirements for permanent joining of components and the non-destructive testing of the completed assembly. See the appropriate code (AGA-3, etc.) for meter tube requirements. The product operator or product owner is responsible for confirming the maximum allowable operating pressure of each item in the flow measurement system prior to performing any pressure test. The product operator should never exceed the maximum allowable operating pressure of the lowest rated component within a flow measurement system.

HIGH PRESSURE HAZARD

Follow all instructions provided in this section when installing the Sealing Bar Gasket (36, 36A, 36HP), Sealing Bar / Orifice Plate Carrier Assembly (8NSC-14.3), and Clamping Bar (12, 12HP).

Failure to do so may cause pressurized fluids to escape, resulting in serious injury or death.

General information 9

Section 2: Installation Owner Operator ManualMay 2012 3-9008-004 Rev D

Important

The installation technician must confirm the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) of each item in the system, including the Simplex, prior to performing any leak test.

2.2 StorageA light spray of rust inhibitor applied to the inside bore of a Simplex will aid in protecting its surface finish. A light spray of rust inhibitor applied to the bore of the meter tube assembly will also protect its surface finish prior to commissioning.

2.3 Preliminary stepsIt is the responsibility of both the product owners and product operators to ensure that all requirements are met on installations built to comply with the European Union Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/EC when required.

It is the responsibility of the product operators to clean the Simplex and all piping components of foreign matter such as welding debris, scale, oil, grease, and dirt before commissioning.

EXPLOSION HAZARD

Never exceed the maximum allowable operating pressure of the lowest rated item in the system.

Exceeding the maximum allowable operating pressure may result in serious injury or death.

On installations which require compliance with the European Union Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/EC, it is the responsibility of the end user and/or product owner to ensure that all essential safety requirements of the directive are met.

Particular attention should be paid to the requirements for permanent joining and non-destructive testing. Refer to the “Daniel Orifice Fittings - Installation and Operating Instructions specific to the Pressure Equipment Directive”, Part Number 3-9008-002.

10 Storage


If product owners or product operators expect that the Simplex will encounter severe conditions (conditions where there is likely to be an accumulation of sediment for any cause), then Daniel recommends the removal of the Drain Plug (30) at the bottom of the Simplex and the installation of a blow down valve in its place. (See Section 2.4 for instructions concerning severe service conditions).

Daniel recommends that both product owners and product operators record the Simplex Nameplate (17) data for future reference prior to installation. Nameplate (17) data contains information that is useful if you need to correspond with a Daniel representative. Always provide the serial number and model number of the fitting when ordering spare parts.

It is the responsibility of both the product owners and product operators to install the Simplex™ in a well designed measurement system in accordance with:

• maximum operating pressure of the measurement system

• measurement system test pressures

• minimum and maximum process temperatures and ambient site temperatures

• mass of fluid in both process and test conditions

• chemical composition and toxicity of fluid in operating and test conditions

• traffic, wind and earthquake loading at the measurement site

• reaction forces and moments, which result from supports, attachments, piping, etc.

• corrosion, erosion, fatigue, etc.

• decomposition of unstable fluids in operating and test conditions

• possible damage from external fire

2.4 Severe service conditions If product owners or personnel expect that the Simplex will encounter severe conditions (environment where there is likely to be an accumulation of sediment for any cause), then Daniel recommends the removal of the Drain Valve Plug (30) near the bottom of the Simplex and the installation of a blow down valve in its place.

2.5 Corrosive service Corrosive environments may affect both the external and internal surfaces of the Simplex. Daniel defines external corrosive environments as those conditions that affect the outer surfaces of the Simplex, while an internal corrosive environment is a condition that affects the surface inside the Simplex. Read, understand, and follow instructions in the sections below if an internal or external corrosive environment exists.

Severe service conditions 11


12 External corrosive environments

2.5.1 External corrosive environments For Simplexes located in external corrosive environments (offshore platforms, marine terminals, etc), Daniel recommends replacing the standard carbon steel Drain Valve Plug (30) with the stainless steel versions listed in the “Corrosive Service” column (refer to Table 2-1).

2.5.2 Internal corrosive environments For Daniel Simplex Orifice Fittings located in internal corrosive environments, Daniel recommends that product owners purchase a Simplex appropriate for the intended service. Daniel offers the Daniel Simplex Orifice Fitting in a number of trims (Refer to Table 1-1 for parts and material list).

A Simplex is a flow measurement device built to exact inside diameter specifications. Daniel does not provide an allowance for corrosion on the inside diameter.

2.6 Low temperature service Daniel designed the Simplex to function within the temperature/pressure ranges, per material, designated in ASME/ANSI B16.5.

2.7 Design considerations Measurement personnel can select a Simplex for use in a variety of flow measurement systems around the world. Each application has its own unique set of service and environmental condition limitations (Refer to Section 1.2.1: Technical data).

Product owners and operating personnel must evaluate both the service, and environmentalconditions prior to installing a Simplex Orifice Fitting. Therefore, it is the responsibility of theend user to install the Simplex in a well designed piping system.

Some conditions to consider:

• Service operating pressure

• Service testing pressures

• Service process temperature and ambient site temperatures

• Mass of fluid in process and test conditions

• Chemical composition and toxicity of fluid in operating conditions

• Traffic, wind and earthquake at loading site

• Reaction forces and moments which result from supports, attachments, piping, etc.

• Corrosion, erosion, fatigue, etc.

• Decomposition of unstable fluids in operating and test conditions

• Possible damage from external fire

Install the Simplex in any horizontal line with the plate access opening in a vertical up position or with the Simplex rotated left or right to give a horizontal opening position. Daniel Simplex Orifice Fittings to 8” size may be installed in a vertical down flow direction.

2.8 Commissioning the Daniel Simplex Orifice Fitting Installation

Commissioning is the process of verifying that a Simplex performs in accordance with the user’s intended operational, maintenance, and measurement requirements.

The information contained in this section addresses commissioning topics for a Simplex fully, or partially, assembled within an orifice plate flow measurement system.

Purchasers have the option of acquiring a Simplex from Daniel for later installation in a flow measurement system, or purchasing a complete orifice plate flow measurement system containing a Simplex.

Daniel packages orifice plates and seal rings separately from the Simplex.

Product owners and product operators choosing to install a Simplex into a flow measurement system NOT designed by Daniel must insure that the fabrication techniques and subsequent testing meet recognized industry standards.

Fitting installation personnel must confirm that the line flow direction corresponds to the flow directional indicator (an arrow or “INLET” / “OUTLET” tags) positioned on the Simplex Body (4).

The Simplex may be installed in any horizontal line with the plate access opening in a vertical (up) position or with the fitting rotated left or right to obtain a horizontal (side) opening position.

• Remove all foreign matter from the meter tube interior and the bore piping section of the Simplex prior to installation.

FLUID EXPLOSION HAZARD

The Simplex is a device that contains fluid at elevated pressure.

Failure to follow the instructions in this manual will result in serious injury or death.

After installing the Simplex into the service line, personnel may perform a line pressure test of the service line.




14 Commissioning - Line Pressure Test


Perform a leak test after installing the Simplex and securing the Clamping Bar (12, 12HP).

1. Install a pressure gauge (calibrated to a recognized standard) on the orifice metering system in a location where the gauge will detect the pressure inside the Simplex. Test personnel must choose a pressure gauge rated for the maximum operating pressure of the system (the Simplex, service line seals (flange gaskets) and the adjacent piping) determined by the product owner and product operator.

Important


2. Slowly pressurize the orifice metering system at a rate of 1 psig per second (0.15 bars per second) and then stop the pressurization when the pressure inside the plate holder reaches 20 psig (1.4 bar). Hold the system at this pressure for five minutes.

Important


3. During this five-minute hold, test personnel should apply a leak detection solution over all connections and joint areas throughout the entire orifice metering system (including the Sealing Bar Gasket (36, 36A, 36HP) and all threaded connections on the Simplex). No leakage should be visibly, or audibly, detected during this five-minute hold period.

4. If a leak is detected, mark the leak area with a marker and reduce the pressure inside the Daniel Senior Orifice Fitting to 0 psig (0 bar). Tighten any fastener or connector adjacent to the leak area and repeat the leak test again.

EXPLOSION HAZARD


Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.

Commissioning - Line Pressure Test 15


5. If after several attempts to contain the leakage it persists, call your Daniel Customer Service for assistance. Contact information is found in the back of this manual.

6. Once the 20 psig (1.4 bar) leak test is complete, and no leaks are detected, then slowly raise the pressure inside the orifice metering system at a rate of 10 psig per second (0.70 bars per second) and then stop the pressurization when the pressure inside the Simplex reaches the maximum operating pressure of the system (the Simplex and the adjacent piping) determined by the product operator. Hold the system at that pressure for ten minutes.

Important


During this ten-minute hold, test personnel shall apply a leak detection solution over all connections and joint areas throughout the entire orifice metering system (including the Sealing Bar Gasket (36, 36A, 36HP) and all threaded connections on the Simplex). No leakage should be visibly, or audibly, detected during this ten-minute hold period.

Owner Operator Manual Section 5: Supplemental information3-9008-004 Rev D May 2012

Section 5: Supplemental information5.1 Recommended spare parts for one-year operation

5.2 Torque information Daniel utilizes a bolted sealing bar gasket joint assembly when constructing the Simplex. To successfully pass all factory tests, factory personnel torque each fastener in the joint assembly to contain pressure and seal the unit. On conclusion of factory pressure testing, the sealing bar gasket is replaced and the bolted joint is slightly tightened for shipment. Product owners and product operators must realize that service conditions and time will impact the tightness and strength of factory assembled joints. Some conditions of time and service may loosen the joint assemblies. Some, but not all, of service conditions that will affect joint assemblies are:

• temperature changes

• vibration

• mechanical loads

• pressure loads

• condition of joint assembly components (fasteners, gaskets, sealing surface conditions)

The information contained in this manual is to provide product owners and operators basic torque values to use as a starting point to provide adequate assembly and in-service clamping force in most applications. However, product owners and product operators are ultimately responsible for joint assembly.
