M111 Transducer. This is installed in the steam line at the point where the steam flow is to be measured. (See TIS 8.002). It is supplied complete with a 2m length of 8 core heat resistant cable for connection to the M322 Conditioning Unit. 2. EL2600 Pressure Transmitter. This provides a 4-20 mA analogue signal to the M322 Conditioning Unit proportional to line pressure for superheated steam applications (see TIS 8.023). 3. M322 Conditioning Unit. The function of this unit is to accept flow rate and temperature signals from the M111 Transducer and pressure signals from the EL2600 Pressure Transmitter and convert them to digital form for transmission to the M210G Computer. 4. M210G Flow Computer. This accepts signals from the M322 Conditioning Unit, processes and displays them. The keypad enables the user to select the parameters to be viewed as well as allowing access to the numerous facilities available. (See TIS 8.021). Note: Wiring between Computer EL2600 Pressure Transmitter and Conditioning Unit to be provided by user/installer. The SPIRAX SARCO Steam Meter is designed for use on dry saturated and superheated steam only. Flow rates are based on a max. flow velocity of 35m/s. Correct installation is important if accurate and reliable flow metering is to be achieved. Full Installation Instructions are supplied with each unit. Basic essentials of good installation are shown overleaf. Commissioning and Operating Instructions are also available for each unit. Performance Accuracy: ± 2% of measured flow (± 1% of FSD at 50% flow) Repeatability: ± 0.2% Turndown: Maximum intermittent turndown 40:1 Average continuous turndown 25:1* * For continuous operation, a velocity of 35m/s should not be exceeded to prevent the risk of pipeline erosion. Electrical wiring All electrical wiring must be carried out to the appropriate standards.

A Separator should always be fitted upstream of the Transducer to remove entrained moisture from the steam. Dry steam is required for accurate metering. The Separator should be drained using a Float Trap set. 10. A full line size Strainer with 100 mesh stainless steel screen may be fitted to prevent dirt and scale reaching the Transducer. This is especially advisable on old or dirty systems where dirt or corrosion is present. 11. Ensure gasket faces do not protrude into the pipeline. 12. Insulation of the Transducer is not recommended, especially the domed cover. 13. A Bellows Sealed Stop Valve may be fitted upstream of the Transducer. 14. It should be remembered that good drainage is always necessary even with superheated steam systems where significant condensate loads may be present on start up. 1. Ensure all pipework is adequately supported and properly aligned. This will prevent waterlogging during shutdown periods and possible problems on start up. 2. Size the Transducer on capacity rather than line size. Where a pipe size reduction is necessary, use eccentric reducing sockets. 3. The minimum recommended lengths of straight pipe are 6D upstream and 3D downstream. 4. Take care to observe the correct direction of flow as denoted by the arrow on the Transducer body. 5. It is advisable to fit a Check Valve downstream of the Transducer to avoid possible damage by reverse flow. At least 3 pipe diameters should remain between the Transducer and the Check Valve. 6. Do not install the Transducer downstream of a Pressure Reducing Valve as this may cause inaccuracies and/or possible Transducer damage. 7. Similarly, do not install the Transducer downstream of a partially open Stop Valve. 8. Avoid installing the Transducer downstream of an actuated valve which could cause rapid flow variations which, in turn, could cause Transducer damage. Electrical wiring All electrical wiring must be carried out to the appropriate standards.

However, the steam flow velocities at these maximum flowrates could be extremely high (up to 120 m/s at the low pressures and up to 42 m/s at the high pressures) and could lead to serious erosion damage both to the transducer and to the associated pipework and fittings. It is not recommended that a steam meter is selected to operate at flowrates continuously resulting from a velocity above 35 m/s. Turndown of the transducer is defined as the maximum flow divided by the minimum flow: Using the maximum figures from the above Table, the turndown is 40:1 throughout the size and pressure range. However, based on the recommended maximum velocity of 35 m/s, the turndown available will vary from 12:1 at 1 bar g up to 33:1 at 17 bar g. The average continuous turndown of the flowmeter is, therefore 25:1 3.14 x 0.08 x 0.08 x 35 x 3600 4 x 0.3520 Q = = 1802 kg/h Flow capacities for superheated steam In general terms, the flow capacity for the transducer is calculated using the following equation: Where:- Q = Capacity in kg/h A = Pipe cross sectional area in sq.m. V = Flow velocity in m/s SV = Specific Volume in m³/kg The saturated steam flow capacities in the above Table are calculated using this equation. Superheated steam flow capacities can be calculated in the same way. Example What is the capacity of a DN80 transducer on superheated steam at 5 bar g and 200°C. Assume maximum velocity = 35 m/s SV = 0.352 0 m³/kg A x V SV Q = x 3 600 Installation Separate Installation and Maintenance Instructions are supplied with each transducer. In order to get the best performance from the transducer, it is essential that installation is correctly carried out in accordance with the guidelines given in the booklet supplied with each steam metering system. General guidelines are given in other TI sheets. Maintenance The Spirax Sarco transducer is a sealed and calibrated unit with no user serviceable parts.

Japanese Industrial Standard JIS 20. Korean Standard KS 20. The Gilflo ILVA flowmeter should be installed in pipework manufactured to BS 1600 or ANSI/ASME B36.10 Schedule 40. For different pipe standards/schedules, if the flowmeter is being operated at the extreme of its published maximum range, downstream spool pieces manufactured from BS 1600 or ANSI/ASME B36.10 Schedule 40 should be used. If this is not possible, please contact Spirax Sarco Ltd. Limiting conditions The maximum pressure and temperature limitations are shown below. Minimum operating pressure 0.6 bar g. Maximum viscosity 30 centipoise. Operating range The product must not be used in this region. Materials of construction Body Stainless steel S.316 Internals 431 S29/S303/S304/S316 Spring Inconel X750 or equivalent Performance The Gilflo ILVA is designed to be used in conjunction with linearising electronics such as the M240G flow computer (steam), M250G flow computer (gases) or M700 display unit. Alternatively the output signal linearisation can be performed on an EMS/BEMS or equivalent. Accuracy when used with M240G, M250G, M640 or M700: +/- 1% of measured value from 5% to 100% of maximum rated flow. +/- 0.1% FSD from 1% to 5% of maximum rated flow. Repeatability better than 0.25% Turndown: up to 100:1 Pressure drop The pressure drop across the Gilflo ILVA pipeline unit is nominally 500 m bar (200 ins water gauge) at maximum rated flow. Flow capacity To determine the capacity of the Gilflo ILVA for different fluids, it is necessary to calculate the equivalent water flowrate Q E (in l/min) as described under the section 'sizing the Gilflo ILVA' then selecting the appropriate size of flowmeter from the table. 102 020406080 -50 0 100 200 300 400 450 Temperature °C Pressure bar g Steam saturation curve How to order DN150 Spirax Sarco Gilflo ILVA flowmeter for installation between flanges to BS 4504 PN40.

Figure 2 is then used to select the appropriate unit. 1.Determine Equivalent Water Flowrate (Q E ) in l/min:- Where: Q E = Equivalent water D F = Density of gas at flowrate (l/min) flowing conditions (kg/m 3 ) M = Mass flowrate (kg/min) P S = Standard pressure Q L = Max liquid flowrate (l/min) = 1.013 bar a Q S = Max gas flowrate = 1.033 kg/cm² a at standard conditions (l/min) = 14.70 psi a Q F = Max gas flowrate P F = Flowing pressure in at flow conditions (l/min) same units as P s SG = Specific gravity T S = 273°K D S = Density of gas at T F = Flowing temperature (°K) standard conditions (kg/m³)(°C + 273 = °K) 2. Using the value of Q E as determined in 1, select the correct size of Gilflo ILVA meter using table 2. In practice, it will often be the line size that determines the choice of meter. Installation A separate installation booklet is supplied with each Gilflo ILVA flowmeter. The following main points are given here for guidance: 1. The Gilflo ILVA should be mounted with a minimum of 6 straight pipe diameters upstream and 3 downstream. No valves, fittings or cross sectional changes are permitted within these pipe lengths. Where an increase in nominal pipe diameter is required upstream of the meter, the length of straight pipe should be increased to 12 diameters. Similarly, where a Gilflo ILVA is installed downstream of two 90 degree bends in two planes, a pressure reducing valve or a partially open valve, 12 upstream pipe diameters should be allowed. 2. It is important that the internal upstream and downstream diameters of pipe are smooth. Ideally seamless pipes should be used and there should be no intrusive weld beads on the internal diameter. It is recommended that slip-on flanges be used to avoid any intrusive weld beads on the internal diameter of the pipe. 3. Care should be taken to install the Gilflo ILVA concentrically in the line. If this is not done, flow measurement errors may occur. 4. The Gilflo ILVA should be mounted horizontally. For vertical installations, consult Spirax Sarco. 5. For steam applications, good basic steam engineering practices should be followed: • Correct line drainage through adequate trapping. • Good alignment and support of associated pipework. • Line size changes achieved by the use of eccentric reducers. 6. See TI-P337-06 which provides an overview of the Gilflo ILVA metering system and further installation details. Maintenance There are no user serviceable parts in the Gilflo ILVA. A visual check together with confirmation that the orifice/cone reference dimension is within tolerance is possible. Full details are included in the manual that accompanies the meter.

The Gilflo ILVA pipeline unit. This is installed in the line where the flow is to be measured. Using impulse pipework, this is connected to: 2. The M610 DP transmitter assembly. This measures the differential pressure across the Gilflo ILVA pipeline unit and converts it to a 4- 20 mA output signal. This output signal can be used in a number of ways: i- To act as a suitable input to an EMS/BEMS which can be programmed by the user to carry out the linearising of the output signal based on the calibration data that is supplied with each Gilflo ILVA flowmeter. Additional inputs from the EL2600 pressure transmitter and EL2271 temperature transmitter can be used to carry out density compensation for compressible flow applications. ii- To supply an M700 display unit. This gives a non- compensated display of rate of flow and totalised flow. It is suitable for liquid, gas and steam applications where density compensation is not required. iii-To supply an M240G (steam) or M250G (gas) flow computer. Use of the pressure and temperature transmitters enables automatic density compensation to be carried out for compressible flow applications. See relevant TI’s for details of pressure / temperature limits for M240G/ M250G flow computers. The Gilflo ILVA pipeline unit can be used to measure the flow of most industrial liquids, gases and vapours within the pressure and temperature limits detailed in the TIs. Installation Care must be taken to meet all the requirements of the Installation and Maintenance Instructions that are included with the equipment. Some installation points to watch are noted overleaf. In addition, heat metering is possible on saturated steam systems by replacing the EL2600 pressure transmitter with an EL2271 temperature transmitter in the condensate return line (M240G system only). Electrical wiring All electrical wiring must be carried out to the appropriate standards. Full wiring interconnection details are included with the equipment.

No. LRQ 0963008 Gilflo flowmeters 3.2 3.2.4 TI-P337-06 MI Issue 3 Installation points to watch: 1. Ensure that all pipework is adequately supported and properly aligned. Special care should be taken to ensure that the Gilflo ILVA pipeline unit is concentrically mounted in the line. (Special installation kits are available to order for sizes DN50 to DN200). 2. The Gilflo ILVA pipeline unit should be selected on capacity rather than line size. Where line size changes on steam systems are necessary, use eccentric reducers to avoid build-up of condensate. 3. The minimum recommended lengths of straight pipe upstream and downstream are 6 D and 3 D respectively. See (TI-P337-05) for more details concerning the Gilflo ILVA. 4. Take care to ensure the correct direction of flow as indicated by the arrow on the flowmeter body. 5. Take care to avoid reverse flow through the flowmeter. 6. Avoid installing the flowmeter downstream of a pressure reducing valve (especially on steam systems) as this may cause inaccurate readings. Similarly, avoid installing the flowmeter downstream of a partially open valve. 7. Remember that actuated valves may cause rapid pressure fluctuations which could cause damage. 8. On steam or liquid systems, the M610 DP transmitter assembly is mounted below the flowmeter. Take care to ensure that all impulse lines remain full to prevent damage to the DP transmitter through contact with steam or high temperature liquid. 9. For steam applications, care should be taken to ensure adequate line drainage, trapping etc., so as to avoid condensate slugs impacting the flowmeter. Where practicable, steam separators should be fitted. These should be drained using a float trap set. 10. For gas applications, the M610 DP transmitter assembly is installed above the pipework. Ensure that the impulse lines allow free drainage of moisture away from the DP transmitter and back into the pipeline.
