Document Chapter/Section: 5. Description
5. Description
5.1 Installation Requirements
All necessary work permits applicable to installation site must be obtained before
beginning FloWatch installation. Appropriate installing procedures from Customer, Field Service
Company and third party, national and international codes and regulations, if applicable, must
be followed during installation. Immediately contact OSPF representative if any of these
requirements is in contrast with this Technical Manual, in order to obtain instruction for installing
FloWatch. A safety meting must be held and discuss HIRCA (refer to documents OS-SOST-
F002 and OS-SOMP-F001). All personal protective equipment (PPE) required on site (helmet,
safety glasses, safety boots, etc.) must be provided in order to safely complete FloWatch
installation.
Careful attention must be provided in order to avoid any risk to installation technicians. In
particular:
- Avoid any fluid leakage from by-pass, main pipeline, FloWatch manifolds or drains
during cables and wiring connections, power supply must be switched off
- Do not lift FloWatch without cranes or mechanical devices due to heavy weight. Four
lifting lugs are provided in order to facilitate FloWatch handling. Check on MPFM Sensor
Test- Report for FloWatch weight.
Mechanical installation must be completed, with all connections tightened or locked before
pressurizing FloWatch. Avoid any damage to meter body, with particular attention to valves and
transmitters connected to meter body, as well as to computer cabinet box and instrumentation.
Do not supply power to FloWatch cabinet if any of electronic devices (FlowComputer, barriers,
switches) is damaged or broken.
5.2 Metering Section
Two different parts compose FloWatch scope of supply:
- Metering section, to be installed between 2 piping flanges. The metering section is

completed by a box mounted on it and containing FEB cabinet box (FlowComputer)
need to be installed nearby of the metering section.
-
The distance depends on the type of FlowComputer: for Safe Area or Exd type for Zone
1 or 2 please see ATEX directive. Interconnection multi wire cable between
FlowComputer and FloWatch Sensor must not exceed 100 m as maximum length. The
FlowComputer containing Exi barriers, communication devices, CPU calculation and
power supply devices.
Next 2 sections describe metering section installation.
5.2.1 Piping installation between flanges
Metering section must be installed only vertically (90 degree ± 1 degree). Flow direction must
be upwards, (from bottom to top).
It is strictly NOT recommended to rotate the meter any degree, in order not to lose in accuracy
and precision of measurement.
One flow arrow (see the pictures below) is applied on metering section and the petroleum flow
must follow this arrow, the metering section must to be installed with this arrow oriented form
bottom to top.
To improve FloWatch measurement, and fluid mixing at low velocity, the sensor should be
installed after a blind tee horizontal connection and a 5 I.D. pipeline vertical length. An
additional blind tee can be installed after the Sensor to permit eventual inspection and
maintenance/washing operation on the FloWatch sensor.
Following drawings illustrate ideal FloWatch sensor installation:
After FloWatch Sensor installation, it is possible to open FEB enclosure and to have access to
isolation valves, instrument manifolds and transmitters and check for their integrity.
It is recommended to install heat tracing on instrument tubing and instrument manifolds at

locations where plugging of the instrument tubing and manifolds may occur.
Heat tracing should ensure a temperature in the instrument tubing and manifolds of 45°C, at
least.
FEB Enclosure includes intrinsically safe Field Electronics Board (FEB), certified to a minimum
ambient temperature of -40°C, and a maximum of +70°C.
FEB Enclosure must not be installed at ambient temperature lower or higher than these
temperatures. FEB surface temperature is measured continuously and can be viewed and
stored by HMI.
Refer to HMI Manual, MT-155, to obtain information about how to access this value.
If the meter is installed outdoor, a sunshade should be provided to protect FloWatch from direct
exposure to sun and rain especially for FlowComputer, if not included in OSPF scope of supply.
5.2.2 Electrical connections
Field equipment will be delivered with all internal cabling connected and terminated. Only
connection/termination required is multi pair shielded cable between metering section field
installation and Safe Area or Zone 1 or 2. This cable is connected through cable glands on FEB
enclosure, as indicated on picture below.
FloWatch must not be powered up until Pietro Fiorentini commissioning engineer comes for
commissioning or after contacting Pietro Fiorentini representative.
5.3 Flow Computer Cabinet
The following sections describe FloWatch cabinet installation. FloWatch cabinet design strictly
depends on customer requirements.
The most common alternatives are provided here, again with installation procedures:
- 19” rack floor mounted cabinet for safe area

- FlowComputer cabinet 19” RACK mounted for safe area
- Stand-alone FlowComputer wall mounted cabinet for safe area
- EEx-d FlowComputer cabinet
Cabinet is delivered with all internal wiring connected and terminated. Multi pair shielded cable
from metering section field installation needs to be terminated inside cabinet according to as-
built wiring diagram. All connections including correct power supply need to be connected
according to wiring diagram.
Do not open the FlowComputer Cabinet when energized.
The type of FlowComputer Cabined depends on required specifications.
5.3.1 19” rack floor mounted cabinet for safe area.
A picture of a 19” rack prepared for two meter/computers is shown below:
19” rack is delivered with four lifting lugs on top of cabinet. Cabinet must be handled with care
during lifting operations to avoid any damage.
If it is necessary to remove top cover (ventilation top) to mount lifting lugs. After lifting cabinet to
its final location, remove lifting lugs and reinstall top ventilation cover.
Finally, connect multi pair shield cable.
5.3.2 19” FlowComputer cabinet 19” RACK mounted for safe area
This type of FlowComputer must be installed in control room 19” rack (safe area). Electrical
power supply types depend on required specifications.
The multi pairs shielded cable from the metering section is connected to back panel.
5.3.3 Stand-alone FlowComputer wall mounted cabinet for safe area
This type of FlowComputer can be mounted on wall in safe area.
Electrical power supply depends on required specification. The bigger cable gland is for the
interconnection multi pair’s shielded cable from sensor to FlowComputer.
5.3.3 EEx-d FlowComputer Cabin
Multi pair shield cable is either entering the Flow Computer cabinet through a cable gland or
terminated in a terminal block.
Cables can be connected to output ports into FlowComputer.
Before closing cabinet door, a silicon grease film must be applied on enclosure flange.
This cabinet is certified to a minimum ambient temperature of -40°C, and a maximum of +70°C.
When cabinet is installed outdoor, a sunshade should be installed over enclosure to protect it
from direct exposure to sun and rain, as per picture below:
