UN-406: Liquid Turbine(Sample based water cut, no prover)
Description
Calculates the uncertainty in observed volume, mass and standard volume flowrate for a liquid flow through a turbine meter. Line and standard densities and their uncertainties are performed by userselected density referral calculations. Water cut is determined by sample and analysis. Pressure, temperature and measured density uncertainties are determined using the technical specification for the transmitters selected from the integrated transmitter selection tool.
General
The General tab is used to enter information, which is saved along with the uncertainty calculation and included in reports which are generated.
The tabs used for inputting data and calculating the uncertainty in the individual components of the uncertainty can be seen along the top of the module window.
The report tab is only visible once the calculation has been run and will not be visible if any parameters are changed until the calculation has been run once more.
Input/Output
Options
Pressure units
This section gives the option of entering the pressure as either an absolute value or as a gauge value with reference to atmospheric (barometric) pressure. If Absolute is selected inputs are required for Absolute pressure and Atmospheric pressure and if Gauge is selected inputs are required for Gauge pressure and Atmospheric pressure. This ensures that whichever is chosen both the gauge and Absolute pressure value is available to other sections of the module.
For example: the Density calculation tab may require an absolute pressure to perform an AGA 8 calculation and the Gauge pressure may be used for the pressure transmitter calculation.
Absolute pressure – the Atmospheric pressure = Gauge pressure
Inputs
Volume flow rate
The volume flow rate of the liquid passing through the turbine meter.
Temperature
This is the measured temperature of the stream.
Pressure
This is the line pressure of the stream measured.
Inputs are required for both Absolute and Atmospheric pressure.
Densitometer pressure
The pressure reading on the densitometer.
Densitometer temperature
The temperature reading on the densitometer.
Density
The density of the liquid flowing through the turbine meter.
Water cut
The percentage water content in the flowing stream.
Outputs
The outputs section shows the calculated flow rate and uncertainty taken from the Flow Rate tab.
