    1 INTRODUCTION
    1.1 Purpose (Modifcation)
    These guidelines cover recommendations for the selection, application and
    installation of flow instrumentation. Since PDVSA has decided to adopt the PIP
    (Process Industry Practices) document PIP PCEFL001 “Flow Measurement
    Guidelines” as an integral part of the Engineering Design Manual (MID), the
    requirements in this document are additions or modifications to the PIP PCEFL001
    and the section/paragraph numbers and the associated headings used in this
    document correspond to the ones used in PIP PCEFL001.

    1.2 Scope (Modify last paragraph)


    Specific guidelines for gas or liquid hydrocarbon flow measurement systems for
    Custody Transfer or Fiscal purposes are not provided. For these applications,
    special design, specification, installation, calibration and commissioning
    requirements stated on API and regulations defined by Venezuelan Government
    Energy Office: Ministerio de Energia y Minas, must be followed.

    3 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
    3.8.1 (Addition)
    Whenever possible, differential pressure calibration ranges of 1250, 2500, 3750
    and 5000 mm H2O (50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 inches H2O), are preferred.

    4 SPECIFIC CONSIDERATIONS
    4.2.1 (Addition)
    Flow nozzles are normally used for high velocity steam flow.
    4.4.8 (Addition)
    Special care should be taken to verify pitot tube length against pipe internal
    diameter.

    4.5.7 (Addition)
    For applications under ½” pipe diameters, other types of meters should be
    considered.

    4.6 (Addition, under limitations)


    S Slurries and dirty fluid applications require the use of remote diaphragm seals.

    4.7 (Addition, under limitations):


    S Viscosity changes affect accuracy.
    S For viscosities above 10 cst, special designs are required.
    S Not recommended for pulsating flows.
    4.7.9 (Addition)
    Turbine meter damage due to overspeed may occur by water hammer, quick valve
    opening, pump start–up, etc.
    4.7.10 (Addition)
    Turbine meters are available with either or both digital and analog type outputs.
    Care should be taken to insure that output is compatible with control system I/O
    (i.e., pulse width, pulse height, edge trigger, etc.). For low uncertainty applications,
    pulse output should be used instead of analog 4–20 mA.
    4.8.7 (Addition)
    Rotor inertia precludes following pulsating flow changes.

    4.9 (Addition, under limitations)


    S For low viscosity liquids and high flow rates, good accuracy is not attainable.
    4.9.4 (Addition)
    Positive displacement meter damage due to overspeed may occur by water
    hammer, quick valve opening, pump start–up, excessive pumping rate, etc.
    4.10.10 (Addition)
    Magnetic flow meters require that pipe always be full of liquid.

    4.11 (Modification, under advantages)


    (Delete)
    S Minimal restriction to flow ……

    (Addition)
    S Obstructionless flow through design
    (Addition, under limitations)
    S High head loss.
    S Not field maintainable by user.
    S Cannot be used in multiphase flow.
    4.11.10 (Addition)
    For low uncertainty applications, pulse output should be used instead of analog
    4–20 mA.

    4.12 (Addition, under limitations)


    S For gas applications, humidity variations affect meter accuracy.
    S Calibration might be cumbersome, requires process fluid at expected operating
    conditions.
    4.12.2 (Addition at end of sentence)
    . . .at expected operating conditions.

    4.13 (Modification)
    Qualify the first advantage as follows: “For uncertainties not better than 1%, some
    liquid models . . .”
    (Addition, under limitations)
    S For gas applications, liquid presence affects accuracy, likewise the other way
    around.
    S Clamp–on devices have limitations concerning pipe wall thickness and frequent
    loss of the coating compound (acoustic paste).
    S For clamp–on devices, accuracy is highly dependent on Reynolds numbers for
    values below 10000. For these applications, spool piece multipath flow meters
    should be considered.
    4.13.1.1 (Modification)
    The fluid flow must be fully turbulent and clean.

    4.14 (Addition, under limitations)


    S Can be affected by pulsating flow.
    S Not recommended for fluids with suspended solids or multiphase.

    4.14.10 (Addition)
    Vortex meters are available with either or both digital and analog type outputs.
    Care should be taken to insure that output is compatible with control system I/O
    (i.e., pulse width, pulse height, edge trigger, etc.). For low uncertainty applications,
    pulse output should be used instead of analog 4–20 mA.
    4.15.1 (Addition)

    e. Rotameters are typically used for purge or seal flow measurement and sample
    conditioning and dosing systems.
    Table 1 (Addition)
    In legend, add to definition of letter “P”: ”Additional design considerations must
    be studied”.
    Table 2 (Modification)
    Orifice Plate Specs: ISO 5167.
    Table 2 (Addition)
    In Notes, add to note (6): “Preferred ranges are 1250, 2500, 3750, 5000 mm H2O
    (50, 100, 150, 200, 250 inches H2O).
