Experiment 2: Water Flow Measurement WLF 922 Objectives: Process Control & Instrumentation Laboratory BKF3791
OBJECTIVES
1. To study the volumetric Flow Measurement using the Variable Area (FI31), Orifice / DP
(FE31/FT31) and Electromagnetic flow meters (FT32)
FLOW PATH : T32 P32 FI31 FT31 (FE31) LCV31 T31 P31 APPLY
CONDITION 2 FT32 T32
PLANT DESCRIPTION
Process Control & Instrumentation Laboratory BKF3791
THEORY
MEASUREMENT :
ACTUATOR : LCY31
Get familiar with the equipment, instrumentation, piping system and various manual valves.
The following preliminary procedures are recommended for familiarization.
a. The tank T32 should be filled with water up to almost the level of its overflow drain
pipe.
BV32 fully open
Open valve for main compress air supply
Instrument Air Supply (IAS) set 32 psig. (do not disturb after that)
Make sure all valve open/close according to respective tagging.
EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE
QUESTIONS
1. Based on volumetric flow rate reading, discuss comparison data Channel 2 FE31/FT31
and at FT31 local indicator? Explain why the data is different?
2. Based on % deviation data FI31 and FT32, what is your observation? Suggest a solution to
minimize the deviation?
3. Give a brief conclusion for overall volumetric flow rate reading.
