The equipment that you bought has required the extraction and use of natural resources for its production. It may contain hazardous substances that could impact health and the environment.

  • Page 11: Chapter 1. Introduction

    Chapter 1. Introduction 1.1 Overview Thank you for purchasing the PanaFlow HT ultrasonic flowmeter. PanaFlow HT is a wetted ultrasonic flow meter that is SIL certified (IEC61508 pending) by design to give you confidence in your flow measurement and to provide reliable flow meter operation for both safety and process control systems.

  • Page 12: Theory Of Operation

    To allow for the utmost accuracy, PanaFlow HT uses pulse echo to actively measure the dead time. By sending a pulse and measuring its reflection, the dead time is measured in real time rather than using a preset value. As a result of this GE invention, PanaFlow HT maintains its accuracy as process temperature conditions dynamically change.

  • Page 13: Sil Application

    Chapter 1. Introduction 1.3 SIL Application PanaFlow HT is a SIL2 ultrasonic flowmeter (sensor) with the capability of providing a SIL3 system in a redundant design configuration. PanaFlow HT is IEC61508 certified through a complete design validation from a third party organization.

    4. The fluid sound speed must not vary excessively. The PanaFlow HT will tolerate relatively large changes in the fluid sound speed, as may be caused by variations in fluid composition and/or temperature. However, such changes must occur slowly. Rapid fluctuations in the fluid sound speed, to a value that is considerably different from that programmed into the PanaFlow HT, will result in erratic or inaccurate flow rate readings.
  • Page 91 The accuracy of the flow rate measurements is no better than the accuracy of the programmed pipe dimensions. For a flowcell supplied by GE, the correct data will be included in the documentation. For other flowcells, measure the pipe wall thickness and diameter with the same accuracy desired in the flow rate readings. Also, check the pipe for dents, eccentricity, weld deformity, straightness and other factors that may cause inaccurate readings.

    Listed below are two limits of this implementation: 1. The PanaFlow HT supports only four of the standard function codes. These are Read Holding Registers (0x03), Read Input Registers (0x04), Write Multiple Registers (0x10), and Read File Record (0x14).

    D.1.2 Write Mode Switch The PanaFlow HT HART circuit includes a slide switch which can be used to disable write access to the instrument via HART. This white slide switch (pictured below) is designed to lock out HART configuration access for those customers who require this extra level of security.

    When a pig passes through the pipeline, it will block the ultrasonic signals for a brief time. In previous products, this might have resulted in a slight blip on the strip chart recorder or been completely missed, but the PanaFlow HT makes flow measurements so fast that it will identify the pig in the line and signal a flow error.

    Appendix E. Special Applications E.2 Path Error Handling One program parameter that is in the menu map but not used by the PanaFlow HT is 2-path Error Handling. However, an explanation of this parameter is included here for future reference.
