INSTRUCTION MANUAL Pressure Gauge & Diagram Pressrue Gauge 1. Manual Content This manual contains installation, operation, maintenance, calieration, overhaul, instruction and test procedures for HISCO pressure gauge. American national standard ANSI B40.1 gauge, pressure and vacuum, contains valuable information including. Installation, operation, calibration and safe usage. It is recommended that anyone using, installing or calibrating pressure gauge be familiar with this industry standard.
2. Features of Pressure Gague Pressure Gauge for industrial applications haver the following features. 1-1 With Liquid Filled case for application with high dynamic pressure pulsations or vibration 1-2 Suitable for corrosive environments and gaseous or liquid media that will not obstruct the pressure system 1-3 Process industry Chemical/Petrochemical, power stations, mining, on and offshore, environmental technology, mechanical engineering and plant construction 3. Selection Criteria 3.1 Operating pressure range The instrument selected should have a full scale pressure range such that the operating pressure occurs in the middle half (between 25% and 75%) of the scale. The full scale pressure of the gauge should be approximately two times the intended operating pressure. 3.2 Fatigue Failure This is caused by mechanical stress resulting from the pressure and takes the form of a small crack from the inside to the outside, generally along an edge. Such failures are more dangerous when the measured medium is a compressed gas rather than a liquid. Fatigue failures release the fluid gradually, and therefore the case pressure build-up is indicated by the opening of the relief valve. When measuring high pressures, the process operating pressure is close to the maximum permissible stress limit, and can therefore result in an explosive failure. In this case a choke should be fiitted on the instrument's coupling, in limit the flow of liquid. 3.3 Overpressure Failure This is caused by application of internal pressure greater than the rated limits of the measuring element, and can occur when a low-pressure gauge is installed on a high-pressure system. The effects of this type of failure, generally more serious in compressed gas applications, are unpredictable and may result in instrument fragments being projected in all directions. The opening of the safety device on the case does not always guarantee containment of the fragments. It is generally accepted that using an instrument with a solid front and blow-out back reduces the possibility of fragments being projected toward the front of the instrument, where the operator stops to take readings. The clear front alone does not provide adequate proetection, and in fact is the most dangerous component in such a case. Overpressure pulses of short duration(spikes) can occur in pneumatic or hydraulic systems, especially when valves are opened or closed. The amplitude of such pulses can be many times the operation pressure, and the great speed at which they occur prevents them from being read out on the instrument, amking them invisible to the operator. They can result in definitive breakage
INSTRUCTION MANUAL Pressure Gauge & Diagram Pressrue Gauge of the instrument or a permanenet zero error. A choke reduces the amplitude of the overpressure spike that reaches the measuring element. The use of a pressure-limiting valve protects the instrument from all pressures which exceed the calibration limit of the valve, thereby protecting the instrument from overpressure. 3.4 Explosive Failure This occurs as a result of the violent release of thermal energy due to a chemical reaction, such as adiabatic compression of oxygen in the presence of hydrocarbons. It is generally accepted that the effects of this type of failure cannot be anticipated. Even the use of solid-front instruments does not esclude against the projection of fragments toward the front of the instrument. Pressure gauges suitable fot use with oxugen are marked "Use no Oil" and/ or with a crossed out oil can symbol on the dial. The instruments are supplied already washed and degreased using appropriate products and packed in polyethylene bags. The user must take the necessary precautions to ensure that the connection and the elastic element are kept clean after the pressure gauge has been unpacked. 3.5 Corrosion Failure This occurs when the material fo the measuring element is weakened through attack by the corrosive chemicals present either in the media inside or the environment around it. Failure may occur as a pinhole leakage or early fatigue failure due to strss cracking brought about by the chemical deterioration of the material. In such a case the use of a fluid separator made of sutiable material must be considered. However the addition of a separator may influence the sensitivity or accuracy, or both. As an alternative to a fluid separator, it is possible to consider choosing a measuring element made from AISI 316 or Monel 400, rather than phosphor bronze. 4. 4 IInstallation t ll ti 4.1 To facilitate removeal for maintenance pirposes, a shut-off valve can be installed between the pressrue gauge and the plant. The pressrue connection must be watertight. If the pressure connection has a cylindrical thread, the seal is achieved using an O-ring clamped between the two flat sealing surfaces, one on the pressure connection and the other on the instrument's process connection. If the pressure connection has a tapered therad, the seal is achieved by simply screwing the connection onto the coupling, though the mating of the theads. It is common practice to wrap PTFE tape around the male thread before coupling(see Fig-2). Fig - 2
In both cases the torque must be applied using two hexagonal spanners, one on the flat faces of the instrument/ process coupling and the other on the pressure connection. Do not use the case as a means of tightening as this may cause damage to the instrument. When pressurising the system for the first time, check the tightness of the connection seal. All instruments must be mounted in such a way that thedial is vertical, unless otherwise indicated on the dial itself. When the instrument includes a safety device, this must be at least 20 mm from any other object. For wall or panel mount instruments, make sure that the instrument coupling without exerting torsion or force.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL Pressure Gauge & Diagram Pressrue Gauge 4.2 Effect of liquid columns The installer must be aware that, if the instrument is subjected to the load of a liquid column, it must be calivrated to compensate for this effect. In this case, the compenstion needs to be indicated on the dial, and should therefore be communicated to HISCO when placing the order. 4.3 Putting into service The instrument must always be put into service with care, to avoid pressure surges or sudden changes in temperatue Shut-off valves must therefore be opened slowly. 5. Use 5.1 It is not advisable to use the instruments for measuring pressures near zero, as in that range the accuracy tolerance can represent a significant percentage of the applied pressure. For this reason, these instruments should not to be used for measuring residual pressures inside large volume containers such as tanks, surge tanks and the like. In fact, such containers may retain pressures that are dangerous for the perator, even when the instrument indicates a zero pressure. It is recommended to install a ventilation device on tanks in order to achieve zero pressure before removing covers or connections, or performing similar tasks. 5.2 Ambient Temperature It is difficult to insulater the instrument from ambient temperature that are too higt or too low. One solution is to position it further away from the source of cold or heat, when this is possible. If an instrument of accuracy class 0.6 or higher is used at an ambient temperature different from the reference value(20 ℃ ± 2 ℃), it si necessary to make a correction. 5.3 It si not advisable to successively install instruments on system with different operating media, to avoid initiating chemical reactions that may cause explosions resulting from contamination of the wetted parts. 5.4 If the instriment dial indicates a fixed pressure for a prolonged time, make sure this is not due to an obstructuin of the pressure element supply pipe. Especially in the case of a zero pressure reading, make sure that there is effectively zero pressrue inside the instrument before removeing it, by isolating it using the shut-off valve. 6. Maintenance 6.1 The general safely of an installation often depends on the operating "conditions of the instruments which it contains. It is essential that the measurements indicated by these instruments are reliable. Therefore, any instrment which apperars to give an abnormal readout should be removed, checked and recalibrated if necessary. Maintenance of accuracy should be confirmed by routine checks. Checks and recalibrations must be carried out by competent personnel using suitable testing equipment. 6.2 Every 3/6 months after installation, check the accuracy and the wear on moving parts and the state of corrosion on the measuring element. For instruments used on plant subject to demanding conditions (vibrations, pulsating pressure, corrosive media, sediments, etc.) replace them after the time intervals indicated in the plant procedures. 6.3 The calibration and testing fluid must be compatible with the measured media in the pressurised system. Fluids containing hydrocarbons must not be used when the measured medium is oxygen or any other oxidising substance.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL Pressure Gauge & Diagram Pressrue Gauge 6.4 Instruments kept in their original standard packing(cardboard box) must be stored in a closed area and protected from moisture: in this case no special attention is required. If the instruments are packed in special materials(wooden crates lined with tar paper or barrier bags) it is preferable to store them in a closed room if possible, or in any case in an area protected from the elements; the condition of the packed materials should be checked every 3 - 4 months, especially if the crates are exposed to the elements. The temperature of the storage area should be between -20 and +65 ℃, except where otherwise specified on the catalogue data sheets. 7. Mounting and Opreration 7.1 Admit pressure slowly by throttling gague cock, the maxium pressure at which at pressure gauge is continuously operated shall not exceed 75% of full scale pressure. The gauge selected should have a full scale pressure of approximately twice the intended operating pressure. 7.2 If it is desirable to compensate the indication for head effect in the piping it can be accomplished by removing betel ring and crystal and resetting pointer using. The Pointer adjusting screw. 7.3 Use a correctly sized spanner to tighten connections Installation with open‐ ended spanner
8. Long-Term Storage Instructions with Standard Packaging. If intermediate or long-term storage of equipment is required, it is recommended that the equipment be stored in accordance with the following: 8.1 Within the original shipping container. 8.2 Stored in a sheltered area, preferably a warm, dry, heated warehouse. 8.3 Ambient temperature of 70° F (21° C) nominal, 109° F (43° C)maximum, 45° F (7° C) minimum. 8.4 Relative humidity 45% nominal, 60% maximum, 25% minimum. Upon removal from storage a visual inspection should be conducted to verify the condition of equipment is "as received".
INSTRUCTION MANUAL RESISTANCE TEMPERATURE DETECTOR 1. What is Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD)? Generally, electrical resistance of any metallic conductor varies according to temperature changes. The sensor for measurement of temperature by utilizing this phenomenon is called "Resistance Thermometer or "RTD" and can measure temperature more precisely than other temperature sensors.
2. Features of RTD Resistance temperature detectors for industrial applications haver the following features. 1-1 Good sensitivity. 1-2 Excellent stability and reproducibility 1-3 High accuracy.
3. Structure and measuring Methods. Structure : Metal wire that changes its electric resistance to changes in temperature are utilized is called “Resistance Wire". This resistance wire, normally of platinum, is used to manufacture temperature sensor called “Resistance Temperaure Detector(RTD) Element Generally speaking, RTD is composed of RTD element, lead wires, protection tube and terminals. Measuring Methods: 2-Wires Connection: Type W RTD element is connected to respective two wire leads. Although it is less expensive than other types, it is not recommendable for high precision measurement of temperature because it is susceptible to lead resistance and produces error. 3-Wires Connection: Type X One end of RTD element is connected to two wire leads and the other end connected to single lead to eliminate the effect from lead resistance. This type is most widely used as a reliable method in industrial applications.
4-Wires Connection : Type Y
2-wires (Type W)
3-wires (Type X)
4-wires (Type Y)
R = RTD element. o = Terminal
RTD element is connected to respective two wire leads to remove the effect from lead resistance. This connection cancels lead resistance effect and is especially recommendable for high precision measurement of temperature but somewhat expensive than other types.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL RESISTANCE TEMPERATURE DETECTOR 4. Precautions in Practical Applications Selection of proper RTD suitable for the application is the most important factor. For precision measurement of temperature, consideration should be given to selection of RTD element, protection tube, structure and ftting (location) according to the respective resistance to heat, corrosion,mechanical shock and other environmental conditions.
5. Ceramic type Platium RTD Element RESICERAM is composed of a coil-formed high purity platinum wire inserted into bores of a fine polished recrystallized Alumina ceramic body and fixed on its bottom by special heat resistant frit. As approximately 80% of the resistance wire is free of heat strain from temperature change, drift in resistivity is minimized and its reproduability and long term stability are superior to any of conventional core-wound elements.
6. Glass-sealed Platinum RTD Elernent It is composed of a high purity platinum wire wound noninductively-around a special glass body, of which resistivity at 0 ℃ is adjusted to fall within the respective stardard ranges, inserted into another special glass tube and heat sealed overall. Quick response and excellent in insulation, withstand voltage, vibration, and high resistance to liquid, chemicals and gases.
