RIM20
Rotor Insertion Flowmeter
Description
The RIM20 multivariable insertion turbine flowmeter utilizes three primary sensing elements to measure the mass flowrate of steam,
liquids and gases:

- Turbine velocity sensor, - RTD temperature sensor, - Solid-state pressure transducer.

Principle of operation
Insertion turbine flowmeters measure flow of liquid, gas, and steam by
detecting the frequency of rotation of the turbine blades. According to the
proven laws of physics, the frequency at which the turbine rotates is directly
proportional to the flow velocity.
Insertion turbine flowmeters measure flow by detecting the local velocity at
a strategically located position within the pipe. The RIM20 detects the
frequency within the sensor head. It uses the local velocity, along with other
parameters such as fluid type, pipe size, and Reynolds Number to calculate
the average pipe velocity, and consequently, the volumetric flowrate.

RIM20 range and benefits

The RIM20-V delivers a direct reading of volumetric flowrate, generally
the most cost-effective solution for liquid flow monitoring, in applications
ranging from general water flows to hydrocarbon fuel flow measurement.

The RIM20-VT integrates a precision 1 000 Ω platinum RTD temperature

sensor that can be used to calculate and output a compensated mass reading.
This device is typically used to measure flowrates of saturated steam.

The RIM20-VTP offers you flow computer functionality in a compact field

device. This multivariable instrument incorporates temperature and pressure
sensors to provide an instantaneous reading of the compensated mass
flowrate of gases, liquids and steam. In addition to outputs for totalized mass
and alarm settings, the field-configurable electronics deliver up to three
analogue 4 - 20 mA outputs of five process measurements, including
volumetric flowrate, mass flowrate, pressure, temperature and density.

The RIM20-EM Energy Monitoring option permits real-time calculation

of energy consumption for a facility or process. The flowmeter can be
programmed to measure steam, hot water or chilled water. The RIM20-VTP
flowmeter monitors one side of the process, either sent or returned, and
uses the input from a second separate temperature sensor on the opposite
leg of the process to calculate the change in energy. Selectable energy
units include BTUs, joules, calories, Watt-hours, Megawatt-hours and
Horsepower-hours. The local or remote electronics indicate t wo
temperatures, delta T, mass total and energy total.

D = Internal diameter of the pipe - If there is not a sufficient straight run of pipe, a flow
rectifier may be used to reduce the above diameter measurements.
Consult your local Spirax Sarco representative or the factory for your specific application.
Maximum 9 metres / second (30 feet / second)
Liquid
Minimum 0.15 metres / second (0.5 feet / second)
Velocity range
Maximum 13 to 62 metres / second (43 to 205 feet / second) depending on rotor pitch
Gas or steam
Minimum 1 to 3.7 metres / second (3.5 to 12 feet / second) depending on rotor pitch

Other installation considerations:

- Mounting position
The RIM20 may be installed in vertical, horizontal, or angled pipe sections. The flowmeter is attached perpendicular to the axis of
the pipe and should not be mounted 'upside-down' (with its top section hanging below the pipe mount). For liquid service, the fluid
must completely fill the pipe.
- Site selection
The flow measurement location should be selected to minimize turbulence and swirl. The extent of these flow disturbances depends
upon the piping configuration. Valves, elbows, pumps, and other piping components may add disturbances to the flow.
- Hot-tap compatibility
With the removable or permanent retractor assembly the RIM20 is ‘hot-tappable’ and can be installed and removed without shutting
down the process. An isolation valve with a pipe mounting kit is used to isolate the flowmeter from the process.

Accessories
Removable retractor
For models without a permanent retractor, one removable retractor must be used if the process pressure is >3.4 bar g (50 psi g).
Removable retractor
Removable retractor options
Extended length removable retractor – For use with extended length probes
