1 Introduction

1.1 HCU board

The optional HCU board is used in Honeywell Enraf servo gauges 854 ATG, 854 XTG, 873 SmartRadar and Field Indicator 877 FDI to interface optional equipment as:

• spot temperature element;

• average temperature element;

• water bottom probe;

• pressure transmitters.

and to provide for an analog level output.

This option board has two HART® channels:

• HART® input 1, standard used for the Honeywell Enraf 762 VITO Interface;

• HART® input 2, standard used for the connection of pressure transmitters for HIMS™, HTG or vapour

pressure measurement.

Note 1:

HTG: Hydrostatic Tank Gauging; only applicable with 877 FDI. HIMS is available with the level gauges (servo and radar). Vapour pressure measurement is mostly performed on pressurized vessels with the level gauges.

Note 2:

Standard, the 762 VITO Interface is connected to HART input 1 and pressure transmitters are connected to HART input 2 of the optional HCU board.

It must be verified that the maximum values for current and power of the HCU option board HART input 2 circuit are not exceeding the maximum values of the connected HART® pressure transmitters. If the values of HART input 2 circuit are too high, then connect the pressure transmitters to HART input 1 and the 762 VITO Interface to HART input 2 (only possible when HART input 1 is available).

1.2 ICU_HPI board

The optional ICU_HPI board is used in Honeywell Enraf 973 SmartRadar LT, 971 SmartRadar LTi and 970

SmartRadar ATi to interface optional equipment as:

• spot temperature element;

• average temperature element;

• water bottom probe;

• pressure transmitters.

Note:

Analog level output with the 97x SmartRadar is provided by the optional ICU_HPO board.

For a description of these functions, refer to section 1.1.

The ICU_HPI board has the same input functions as the HCU board; the only difference is its shape, which

makes it to fit in the 97x SmartRadar.

Introduction

1.3 Overview of functions

The HCU / ICU_HPI option board has the following hardware channels:

• SPOT input: for spot temperature element (RTD) Pt100

• HART input 1: for 762 VITO Interface

• HART input 2: for HART® pressure transmitters and/or external water bottom probe

• 4-20 mA output: for analog level output (only with HCU option board)

The hardware combinations, together with software emulations gives in total 8 different models according to the

table below:

Notes: 1 Option codes: V, W and X are not available with the 970 / 971 / 973 SmartRadar types as the analog level

output is provided by the ICU_HPO option board.

2 Please note that with option code Y in the 970 / 971 / 973 SmartRadar types, the analog level output is provided by the ICU_HPO option board.

3 Option code Y is not available in the 854 XTG servo gauge.

4 Option code U can only be available in the 854 XTG servo gauge without connection for 977 TSI Tank Side Indicator (in 854 ATG connection for 977 TSI is possible).

5 HART devices can be: - HART® pressure transmitters for HIMS / HTG configuration or vapour pressure measurement;

- HART® water bottom sensor e.g. Side mounted water probe.

6 With sales code Y (all HCU functions), the spot temperature measurement is disabled if the VITO temperature (and water) probe is present.

1.4 HCU compatibility

The HCU board can be used to replace an existing optional board in the 854, 873 and 877 gauges. However, it

requires some checking if more boards in the instrument must be updated or external equipment must be

replaced. The HCU board can be used to replace the following optional boards:

• HPU board (for average temperature measurement, restricted to MTT or VITO probes only)

• HSU board (for spot temperature measurement, restricted to Pt100 RTD’s only)

Note:

Read carefully the installation guide of the HCU board before starting to replace the existing option board.

Introduction

Instruction manual HIMS / HTG and vapour pressure (P3) measurement

1.4.1 Replacement or adding optional board in 854 ATG or 854 XTG servo gauges

The HCU optional board requires an XPU-2 board in the 854 ATG and 854 XTG servo gauges. If there is no

XPU-2 board installed, then the installed XPU (or XPU-1) board must be replaced by an XPU-2 board.

Notes:

1 When the HCU board is used to replace an optional board with average temperature measurement, please note the following: The 863 MRT with 862 MIR or the 864 MTT with 862 MIT temperature connection cannot be maintained. • The 864 MTT can be connected to the 762 VITO-MTT Interface for connection to the HCU board; • The 863 MRT can be connected to the 762 VITO-MRT Interface for connection to the HCU board.

2 The optional data transmission channel on the XPU-2 (i.s. channel for 977 TSI or RS-232C/RS-485 channel) is only possible when backplane-2 is installed. Backplane-2 is standard installed in instruments • 854 ATG with series number: 854-20-400 and higher; • 854 XTG with series number: 894-02-001 and higher.

1.4.2 Replacement or adding optional board in 873 SmartRadar

The HCU optional board can be installed in the 873 SmartRadar without any problem.

Refer to Note 1 section 1.4.1.

1.4.3 Replacement or adding optional board in 877 FDI Field Display & Interface

The HCU optional board can be installed in an 877 FDI Field Display & Interface when there is an XPU or XPU-1

board. However, be informed that water bottom measurement with the VITO probe or Side mounted water probe

is not possible. If this function is required, then the installed XPU (or XPU-1) board must be replaced by an

XPU-2 board. Refer to note 1 in section 1.4.1.

Notes:

1 Please be aware that an XPU-2 board in the 877 FDI does not have the ability to ‘listen’ to the Enraf Fieldbus signals. Hence, the “Indicator” functionality is not available. It will then function as an HTG or ‘Stand Alone’ temperature gauge.

2 The optional data transmission channel on the XPU-2 (i.s. channel for 977 TSI or RS-232C/RS-485

channel) is only possible when backplane-2 is installed. Backplane-2 is standard installed in indicators 877 FDI with series number: 877-17-001 and higher.

2.1 Introduction into HIMS

The HIMS (Hybrid Inventory Management System) combines the direct mass measurement as used with HTG

(Hydrostatic Tank Gauging) with the level gauge principle to one powerful system. All tank quantities as level,

volume, mass, density, etc. can be measured and calculated.

For level measurement can be used the Honeywell Enraf series 854 ATG / XTG servo gauge or the

Honeywell Enraf series SmartRadar gauge. The HIMS option is also available with the 877 FDI (Field

Display & Interface). Pressure transmitters communicating with the HART® protocol can be used.

2.1.1 HIMS calculations

The pressure transmitters P1 and P3 used with an HIMS

system are of the differential type. That means one side

(low pressure side) is open to atmosphere.

P3 is not required for tanks which are free vented to

atmosphere and with floating roof tanks.

A temperature measuring device is optional and only

required when standard volume and reference density is

to be calculated.

The pressure measured by P1 is the result of the static

liquid head above P1 (height h) and the pressure in the

vapour space, measured by P3.

The liquid height above P1 is the level (l), measured by

the level gauge, minus the distance LP.

LP represents the distance between the tank zero point

(datum plate) and the zero point of P1.

The observed density is calculated as:

Figure 2.1 Principle HIMS configuration

where:

P7 : (P1 - P3) + corr. [Pa]

P1 : pressure of pressure transmitter P1 [Pa]

P3 : pressure of pressure transmitter P3 [Pa]

corr. : for corrections, refer to section 2.1.2

LP : distance zero point tank to zero point pressure transmitter P1 [m]

LG : local gravity acceleration [m/s2]

Level : measured level from level gauge [m]

The measured level and (optionally) temperature, and the calculated observed density are transmitted to the

tank gauging system.

The tank gauging system (a Honeywell Enraf Entis Pro system, Honeywell Enraf CIUPlus or other host system)

needs the Tank Capacity Table and optionally the ASTM table to calculate the Gross Observed Volume, Mass,

and optionally the Gross Standard Volume and reference density.

2.1.2 Corrections for ambient air and vapour density

Ambient air density correction

The pressure at the atmospheric side measured by pressure transmitter P1, compared to P3, is increased by the

column of air over the distance (LM - LP). Refer to figure 2.1.

That is compensated in the calculated pressure P7 by the term:

where:

(LM - LP) x RF x LG [Pa]

LM : distance zero point tank to zero point pressure transmitter P3 [m]

LP : distance zero point tank to zero point pressure transmitter P1 [m]

RF : ambient air density [kg/m3]

LG : local gravity acceleration [m/s2]

The default value for the ambient air density (item RF) is set at 1.225 kg/m3 (floating point format).

Vapour density correction

The vapour space above the product in a fixed roof tank consists of a mixture from air and product vapour.

The density of this vapour mixture in the tank is different from the density of the air outside the tank.

That is compensated in the calculated pressure P7 by the term:

where:

(LM - Level) x RG x LG [Pa]

LM : distance zero point tank to zero point pressure transmitter P3 [m]

Level : measured level from level gauge [m]

RG : vapour density [kg/m3]

LG : local gravity acceleration [m/s2]

The default value for the vapour density (item RG) is set at 1.25 kg/m3 (floating point format).

Pressure P7

The pressure difference (P1 - P3), compensated for ambient air density and vapour density (item P7) is

calculated as:

P7 = (P1 - P3) + (LM - LP) x RF x LG - (LM - Level) x RG x LG [Pa]

Density in air

With the default values used in items RF and RG, the observed density is the density in vacuum. If the density

value is required as density in air, then item RF must be set to 0, and from item RG the value of the ambient air

density must be subtracted.

The table below summarizes the values for items RF and RG for density in vacuum and density in air.

2.2.4 Zero calibration of the pressure transmitters

For the zero calibration procedure of the pressure transmitters, refer to Appendix H.

2.2.5 Compensation for pressure transmitter P1 position

The tank shell will bulge due to the hydrostatic pressure

caused by the liquid stored in the tank.

This can have an influence on the position of pressure

transmitter P1 (refer to figure 2.3).

The amount of movement of pressure transmitter P1

depends on the height of P1 above the bottom, the

structure of the tank shell and the density of the product.

In many cases, pressure transmitter P1 is located as low

as possible to the tank bottom and the influence of tank

shell bulging is negligible.

However, in those cases where the influence is present,

items IF and IL can be used to compensate for the

position of pressure transmitter P1.

Item IF (hydrostatic deformation factor) decreases

distance LP for (IF) mm/m level above the level IL

(hydrostatic deformation level). In formula:

3.1 Introduction into HTG

An HTG (Hydrostatic Tank Gauge) system measures the tank quantities by means of pressure transmitters.

Depending on the configuration, one to three pressure transmitters are required. The pressure transmitters,

communicating with the HART® protocol, are connected to an 877 FDI (Field Display & Interface).

Unlike level based tank gauges, as servo or radar, the HTG system is a direct mass measurement system.

One pressure transmitter (P1), located at a shell nozzle near the bottom, is used to measure the liquid head.

A second pressure transmitter (P2) is located approximately 2 to 2.5 metres (6 to 8 feet) above P1.

If there exists a pressure in the vapour space, the vapour pressure must be measured with a separate pressure

transmitter (P3). P3 is not required on a floating roof tank, or with a free vented cone roof tank.

3.1.1 HTG calculations

The pressure transmitters used with an HTG system are of the

differential type. That means one side (low pressure side) is

open to atmosphere.

A temperature measuring device is optional and only required

when standard volume and reference density is to be calculated.

The principle HTG formulas for level and observed density are:

Observed density is calculated as:

Level is calculated as:

where:

P1 : pressure of pressure transmitter P1 [Pa]

P2 : pressure of pressure transmitter P2 [Pa]

P3 : pressure of pressure transmitter P3 [Pa]

LG : local gravity acceleration [m/s2]

Figure 3.1 Principle HTG configuration

LS : distance zero point pressure transmitter P1 to P2 [m]

LP : distance zero point pressure transmitter P1 to zero point tank [m]

The calculated level and observed density and (optional) measured temperature are transmitted to the tank

gauging system. The tank gauging system (an Honeywell Enraf Entis system, Honeywell Enraf CIUPlus or other

host system) needs the Tank Capacity Table and (optionally) the ASTM table to calculate the Mass, Gross

Observed Volume, and optionally the Gross Standard Volume and reference density.

When the product density is known and does not change, pressure transmitter P2 is not required. The density

will be a manual input value, from which the level can be calculated by:

Page 18

HTG

Instruction manual HIMS / HTG and vapour pressure (P3) measurement

3.1.2 Volume and Mass calculations

The standard HTG mass and volume calculations are:

where: Vol.heel : Volume below the zero point of pressure transmitter P1 [m

3]

Areaeq. : Equivalent area over the (calculated) tank level [m2]

Honeywell Enraf transmits the calculated HTG level and observed density values to the tank gauging

system (Entis, CIUPlus or other host system).

In the tank gauging system the Gross Observed Volume is obtained from the level value via the tank capacity

table. Then Mass is calculated as:

Mass = Gross Observed Volume x Dens. obs.

This is equivalent to the standard HTG mass calculation as is shown in the following conversion equations:

Mass = Gross Observed Volume x Dens. obs.

Mass = (Level x Areaeq.) x Dens.obs.

Mass = (Level LP) x Areaeq. x Dens.obs. + LP x Areaeq. x Dens.obs.

substitute of HTG level and density formulas gives:

the above formula can be reduced to:

which is the standard HTG mass formula.

3.1.3 Corrections for ambient air and vapour density

Ambient air density

The pressure at the atmospheric side measured by pressure transmitter P1, compared to P2 and to P3, is

increased by the column of air over respectively the distances LS and (LM - LP). Refer to figure 2.1.

That is compensated in the calculated pressures P7 and P8 by the terms:

(LM - LP) x RF x LG [Pa] for P7 (P1 - P3)

LS x RF x LG [Pa] for P8 (P1 - P2)

where:

LM : distance zero point pressure transmitter P3 to zero point tank [m]

LP : distance zero point pressure transmitter P1 to zero point tank [m]

LS :

RF :

LG :

distance zero point pressure transmitter P1

ambient air density [kg/m3]

local gravity acceleration [m/s2]

to P2 [m]

The default value for the ambient air density (item RF) is set at: 1.225 kg/m3 (floating point format).

Vapour density correction

The vapour space above the product in a fixed roof tank consists of a mixture from air and product vapour. The

density of this vapour mixture in the tank is different from the density of the air outside the tank.

That is compensated in the calculated pressure P7 by the term:

(LM - Level) x RG x LG [Pa]

where:

LM : distance zero point pressure transmitter P3 to zero point tank [m]

Level : calculated HTG level (item HQ) [m]

RG : vapour density [kg/m3]

LG : local gravity acceleration [m/s2]

The default value for the vapour density (item RG) is set at: 1.25 kg/m3 (floating point format).

Pressures P7 and P8

The pressure differences (P1 - P3) and (P1 - P2), compensated for ambient air density and vapour density, are:

P7 = (P1 - P3) + (LM - LP) x RF x LG - (LM - Level) x RG x LG [Pa]

P8 = (P1 - P2) + LS x RF x LG [Pa]

Page 20

Density calculation

The calculated density, corrected for ambient air density (item DQ) will then become:

Level calculation

The calculated level, corrected for ambient air density and vapour density (item HQ), becomes:

Item ‘HQ’ is non-explicit. However, after conversion the level (item HQ) can directly be obtained:

Density in air

With the default values used in items RF and RG, the observed density is the density in vacuum.

If the density value is required as density in air, then item RF must be set to 0, and from item RG the value of the

ambient air density must be subtracted.

The table below summarizes the values for items RF and RG for density in vacuum and density in air.

For the zero calibration procedure of the pressure transmitters, refer to Appendix H.

3.2.7 Compensation for pressure transmitter P1 - P2 distance

The tank shell will bulge due to the hydrostatic pressure

caused by the liquid stored in the tank. This can have an

influence on the position of pressure transmitters P1 and P2

(refer to figure 3.4). The amount of movement depends on the

position of P1 and P2, the length of the ‘ar ’ (nozzle - ball

valve), the structure of the tank shell and the density of the

product. In some cases, the influence of the tank shell bulging

is negligible.

However, in those cases where the influence is present,

several methods can be followed to limited the influence.

• Mechanical solution: U-bend or rigid bar (refer to

Installation Info 003)

• Compensation for the distance P1 - P2 (item LS).

This section describes how to compensate for the distance LS.

Figure 3.4 Tank shell bulging

Item IF (hydrostatic deformation factor) increases distance LS for (IF) mm/m level above the level IL (hydrostatic

deformation level). In formula:

LScomp. = LSprogr. + (Level - IL) x IF [m]

where: LScomp.

4 Vapour pressure (P3) measurement

4.1 Introduction into vapour pressure measurement

The vapour pressure measured on spheres, spheroids, bullets, etc. is used in the calculation of the Total Gross

Standard Volume. That is the volume which includes the amount of evaporated product in the vapour space.

The vapour pressure measurement can be integrated in the Enraf level gauge.

The following level gauges can be equipped with an option board to measure the vapour pressure:

• 854 ATG servo gauge

• SmartRadar with high pressure antenna

Alternatively, the vapour pressure measurement can be connected to an 877 FDI (Field Display & interface) with

an appropriate option board.

Pressure transmitters communicating with the HART® protocol can be connected to the Enraf gauges with the

optional HCU or ICU_HPI board.

The measured pressure by the roof pressure transmitter (P3) is transmitted to the tank gauging system.

The tank gauging system (an Enraf Entis system, Enraf CIUPlus or other host system) performs the corrections

on the Gross Standard Volume and Mass for the amount of product in the vapour space.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

5 Maintenance and troubleshooting

5.1 Maintenance

For preventive maintenance on the pressure transmitters, refer to the maintenance instructions of the used

pressure transmitters.

It is recommended to check the zero calibration of the pressure transmitters once per year. Refer to Appendix H.

5.2 Troubleshooting HIMS

This section is intended as a help in finding the cause with start-up problems and when no correct reading of the

pressure or density is obtained.

1) No or incorrect level reading.

Please refer to the section maintenance / trouble shooting of the instruction manual from the used level

gauge (servo or radar). An incorrect level reading results in a wrong volume reading and wrong density

reading, but mass remains unaffected.

2) No pressure value with items P1 and P3.

• Check item PA (available pressure transmitters);

• Request for items EH and QF. Decode the displayed error codes as given in sections 5.5 and 5.6.

Find from the decoded message the cause of the problem;

• Check the wiring from the pressure transmitters to the instrument terminals (mind the polarity!);

• Check if the pressure transmitters are correctly configured (refer to Appendix G);

• Check the voltage on the instrument terminals for the pressure transmitter:

HART input 2 (recommended) HART input 1

Unloaded

18.7 Vdc

18.7 Vdc

1 transmitter

16.4 Vdc

15.9 Vdc

2 transmitters

15.6 Vdc

14.5 Vdc

The current on the HART communication line is obvious:

- with 1 transmitter: 4 mA

- with 2 transmitters: 8 mA

3) The HIMS observed density does not correspond with the real density from the product.

• If the difference is 0.18%, then it can be explained from the method of pressure transmitter calibration.

Some pressure transmitters are calibrated with water column at 20 °C, while water has a density of 1000

kg/m3 at 4 °C. If this is the case, then correct item LG (local gravity) with 0.18%;

• Check zero calibration of pressure transmitters (refer to Appendix H);

• If there exists a density difference at mainly lower levels (thus not at higher levels), then the cause must

be found in a wrong value for item LP. Check on distance LP. Eventually check the level gauge on its

correct reading;

• If there is more or less a constant density difference, check on settings of items:

LG, LM, RF, RG (or RJ).

5.3 Troubleshooting HTG

This section is intended as a help in finding the cause with start-up problems and when no correct reading of the

mass, density, level, pressure or volume is obtained.

1) 877 FDI does not start-up correctly; no level / density indication.

• Please refer to the section service / trouble shooting of the instruction manual 877 FDI.

• Check items: IM, HT, OB and PA.

2) No pressure value with items P1, P2 and P3.

• Check item PA (available pressure transmitters);

• Request for items EH and QF. Decode the displayed error codes as given in sections 5.5 and 5.6.

Find from the decoded message the cause of the problem;

• Check the wiring from the pressure transmitters to the instrument terminals (mind the polarity!);

• Check if the pressure transmitters are correctly configured (refer to Appendix G);

• Check the voltage on the instrument terminals for the pressure transmitter:

HART input 2 (recommended) HART input 1

The current on the HART communication line is obvious:

- with 1 transmitter: 4 mA

- with 2 transmitters: 8 mA

- with 3 transmitters: 12 mA

3) The HTG mass value does not correspond with the real mass in the tank.

• If the deviation is more or less a constant offset value, and the level and observed density calculations are

correct, and the volume shows also an offset value, then the problem must be found in the strapping

tables (incorrect data).

• If the deviation is more or less a constant offset value, and the calculated level and volume shows a

similar offset, while the calculated observed density is correct, then item LP (distance P1 - tank zero)

should be adjusted.

• If the deviation is not a constant offset value, check pressure transmitters P1 and P3 (zero calibration).

4) The HTG calculated observed density does not correspond with the real density from the product.

• If the difference is 0.18%, then it can be explained from the method of pressure transmitter calibration.

Some pressure transmitters are calibrated with water column at 20 °C, while water has a density of 1000

kg/m3 at 4 °C. If this is the case, then correct item LG (local gravity) with 0.18%;

5) The HTG calculated observed density and calculated level (and hence, volume) are deviating from the real

value.

• There is a situation in where the HTG system (which is a direct mass measurement system), cannot give

an accurate density, level and volume reading. That is the case when the product is stratified in density.

Even when the product was homogeneous when it was loaded into the tank, it can become stratified as

the heavier parts in the product are settling down. The HTG system then measures a too high density, and

hence level and volume are calculated too low. Mass however, is unaffected by stratification.

• Check zero calibration of pressure transmitters (refer to Appendix H).

Appendix B1 Assessment of distance LP for HIMS

In this Appendix three methods are described to obtain the distance: zero point tank - zero point pressure transmitter P1 (item LP).

B1.1 LP determination from measurement

The principle of this method consist of five measurements (refer to figure below). When performed well, the distance LP can be determined

within ±2 mm.

Step 1) Level This is the level reading of the level gauge. Make sure it is indicating the correct value (level).

Step 2) Ullage

Perform a manual ullage measurement from a dip hatch located closed to the pressure transmitter P1 (ullage).

Step 3) Roof distance

This is the distance from the selected dip hatch to a horizontal flat place on the tank railing above pressure transmitter P1

(roof distance).

We advise to measure this distance with a theodolite (optical measuring device), to bring over the horizontal distance from

the leveled rod on the dip hatch to the levelled rod next to the tank railing.

Step 4) TX distance

Measure the distance from the horizontal flat place on the tank railing to the top of the pressure transmitter flange

(TX height).

Use a measuring tape and perform this measurement at a time there is no (hard) wind.

Step 5) TX centre

With most pressure transmitters, the centre of the measuring diaphragm is also at the centre of the mounting flange

(TX centre).

For example: a 2", 150 lbs flange has a centre distance of 76.2 mm.

Calculate LP: LP = level + ullage + roof distance - TX height - TX centre

B1.2 LP derived by calculation from density sample

This method is fast and easy, provided that the tank is filled for not more than half of its capacity and the product is homogeneous.

LP can be found from the following formula:

where:

Level : measured level from the level gauge [m]

P7 :

LG :

request for item P7 by means of the Portable Enraf Terminal

request for item LG by means of the Portable Enraf Terminal

[Pa]

[m/s2]

Dens.obs. : this is the value from a manual density sample. [kg/m3]

Note: If the density value is provided by the lab, make sure it is re-calculated to the observed density value at the actual product temperature.

B1.3 LP determined by linear regression

With this method a number of readings are taken over the full measuring range. The readings taken are: Level and P7.

Note:

This method can only be followed when the product is homogeneous. Hence for products with density stratification, this method cannot be used.

The measurements can only be taken with the same product. In practice this means, one start with a full tank and take the readings after a

batch is dispatched. A set of at least 8 to 10 measurement over the measuring range should be taken to get a good result. It can take several

days before the measurements are completed.

Request the Level from the level gauge and request for P7 by means of the Portable Enraf Terminal (item P7).

At the end of the test run, all gathered data can be processed in a spread sheet program to calculate the pressure regression line.

Where the regression line of the pressure value crosses the zero line of the pressure-axis, the corresponding level value on the level-axis

represents the distance LP.

As an example, the following Level and P7 values are

taken, and the figure shows the regression line.

Appendix B2 Assessment of distance LP (and LS) for HTG

In this Appendix three methods are described to obtain the distance: zero point tank - zero point pressure transmitter P1 (item LP).

B2.1 LP determination from measurement

The principle of this method consist of five measurements (refer to figure below). When performed well, the distance LP can be determined

within ±2 mm.

Step 1) Level The level can be taken from an innage dip at the datum plate, or from a manual ullage measurement at the upper reference

point. Take the level reading (level).

Step 2) Ullage

Perform a manual ullage measurement from a dip hatch located closed to the pressure transmitter P1 (ullage).

Step 3) Roof distance

This is the distance from the selected dip hatch to a horizontal flat place on the tank railing above pressure transmitter

P1(roof distance).

We advise to measure this distance with a theodolite (optical measuring device), to bring over the horizontal distance from

the leveled rod on the dip hatch to the leveled rod next to the tank railing.

Step 4) TX distance

Measure the distance from the horizontal flat place on the tank railing to the top of the pressure transmitter flange

(TX height).

Use a measuring tape and perform this measurement at a time there is no (hard) wind.

Step 5) TX centre

With most pressure transmitters, the centre of the measuring diaphragm is also at the centre of the mounting flange

B2.2 LP derived from mass calculation

As the HTG system is a direct mass measuring system, it is obvious to calibrate the HTG system by means of a mass comparison method.

First of all, a good guess is made for the distance LP. In the worst case, LP can be left at zero.

The mass of the product in the tank, measured by the HTG system, will be compared with the mass, measured and calculated in the

traditional way or by means of another mass measuring system (such as mass-flow meters).

Note:

Before applying this method the density measurement (and thus distance LS) must be correct, as the density is used in the heel mass.

The traditional way is:

• manual dip (or ullage dip from URP, then convert to innage)

• find volume in tank capacity table

• measure the temperature from the product

• perform a density sample

• calculate the reference density

• calculate the standard volume

• calculate mass as standard volume times reference density

The outcome from this mass calculation (or from another mass measuring device) is then compared to the mass reading of the HTG system.

Find distance LP with a trial and error method.

B2.3 LP (and LS) determined by linear regression

With this method a number of level readings are taken over the full measuring range. The level reading from the HTG system and the level

reading from a manual measurement are compared.

Note:

Although the HTG system is a direct mass measurement system, the calibration described below is based on level measurement. The

level measurement from an HTG system is not that accurate that it can be used in a calibration method for a mass measurement system.

The reason that this method is described, is that it is a relative simple method. In general we do not recommend this method.

Note:

This method can only be followed when the product is homogeneous. Hence for products with density stratification, this method cannot be used.

Recall the basic HTG level formula:

An error in the distance LS will cause a gain error in the HTG level reading, and

an error in the distance LP will cause an offset error in the HTG level reading.

Take a good guess for the values of items LP and LS.

The measurements can only be taken with the same product. In practice this means, one start with a full tank and take the readings after a

batch is dispatched. A set of at least 8 to 10 measurement over the measuring range should be taken to get a good result. It can take several

days before the measurements are completed. At the end of the test run, all gathered data can be processed in a spread sheet program.

As an example, the following level data is taken:

The table at the right upper corner shows the calculation

results for the example and the figure shows (a part) of

the regression line with the relevant data used in this

calculation example.

B2.4 LS derived from calculation of density sample

The distance LS can be calculated from a known density (taken by a sample) and the pressure value P8. The HTG density formula can be

re-arranged to calculate the distance LS:

All data are measured when the level in the tank is not moving and mixers are shut off. To perform density sampling, a dip hatch must be

opened, and time should be given to vent eventually over pressure and to stabilize the pressure readings.

P8 : The pressure P8 is read by means of the PET (Portable Enraf Terminal). Take more than one reading with a sufficient time

interval (for instance: 5 readings with an interval of one minute each). Average the readings.

LG : The value of item LG can also be requested by the PET or copied from the Set-up/Maintenance form or log-file of the 877

FDI.

Dens.obs. : This is the value from the manual density sample which must be taken.

The best place to take the density sample is as close as possible to the place where the pressure transmitters P1 and P2 are

installed. The samples can only be taken over the height between pressure transmitters P1 and P2. Make sure the density

sample is an average density sample over this height.

Since the density required is an observed density value, the product temperature must be measured as well.

If from Lab analyses a reference density is provided, recalculate it to the observed density value.

Note:

Mind to take the same type of density in the HTG and sample: density in air or density in vacuum.

Appendix E Vapour density (items RG and RJ)

The area above the liquid in a fixed roof tank contains a mixture of air and product vapour. The amount of evaporated product depends on

the vapour pressure of the liquid, which is a function of the temperature. The higher the temperature, the more product evaporates.

The density of the gas mix above the product can be calculated with the formula of the gas density, using the vapour pressure as a relation

between the amount of evaporated product and air. The formula is:

: vapour pressure of the liquid [mbar]

For atmospheric tanks, Pamb. is the average barometric pressure. If there is some over pressure, then Pamb. must reflect this over pressure

value.

In general, lighter products evaporate more (have a higher vapour pressure) than heavier products.

As an example, the tank gas density of two different products is given in the table below.

The products are: Methanol (Mliq. = 32.04 g) and Isopropyl benzene (Mliq. = 120.2 g).

Both products appear to have nearly the same tank gas density due to the mechanism that heavier products evaporates less than lighter

products.

In case of a floating roof tank, or a tank with an inner floating roof, the tank gas density can be set equal to the ambient air density.

Density in air

With the true value of the tank gas density used in item RG (or RJ), the product density is calculated as density in vacuum.

If the product density is required as density in air, then the value of the ambient air density must be subtracted form the found value for the

tank gas density in item RG (or RJ). Refer also to appendix D.

A (temporary) fixed and stable horizontal area should be made available as a reference point for the height measurements. For instance, a

heavy block of metal, made horizontal by sand or wood pieces.

The height measurements could be made with a dip tape, or by a ruler. Use with all measurements one and the same instrument.

Note with each measurement the height to the mark on P1 and the liquid level in the tank. At least a set of 8 to 10 measurements over the full

measuring range of the tank should be taken for a good result.

In this example, for the first 5 metres level, distance LP does not change. Then, when there is

more product in the tank, distance LP starts to decrease.

From the point where LP decreases, a best fit line (regression line) is drawn through the

measuring points. The slope of this line (0.332 mm/m) is the figure to be used in item IF.

The point where this line crosses the line of measured point where LP did not changed yet is

used as the value in item IL (4.021 m).

If the installation of pressure transmitters P1 and P2 is such that movement due to tank shell bulging occurs, then items IF and IL can be

programmed to compensate for that movement. But first, the amount of movement must be known.

The movement of pressure transmitters P1 and P2 can simply be measured by a (calibrated) measuring tape (or ruler) at several product

levels. Use with all measurements the same instrument.

The distance to be measured is the distance between the zero lines on the pressure transmitters P1 and P2 (if present). When such a zero

line is not present, the distance between any other fixed point on the pressure transmitter will do. Even a mark on the flanges of P1 and P2.

Note also the product level with each measurement of distance LS.

For a good result at least a set of 8 to 10 measurements over the measuring range of the tank should be taken. Then from the measuring

results the hydrostatic deformation factor (item IF) and hydrostatic deformation level (item IL) can be calculated.

As an example some data is given from which the calculations are made to determine the values for IF and IL:

with the HART Communicator model 275

Set- up The set-up procedure is meant to prepare the pressure transmitter for multi-drop mode operation as required for

use with Enraf gauges, equipped with the HCU or ICU_HPI option board.

If during this procedure any error message appears, or when the operation deviates from the description, please

refer to the Instruction manual supplied with the pressure transmitter.

If more than one pressure transmitter is connected to the Enraf gauge, disconnect temporary the other(s) and

set-up one transmitter at the time.

1 Enter protection level 2 of the instrument.

Note: If the 847 PET is being used, it is advised to disable the keyboard time-out function of the PET.

2 Issue the ‘ top HART reques ’ command (item SR). This command will abort the HART communication

scheduler.

Note: This is necessary since the optional HART board doesn’t allow a second master on the HART line.

3 Switch on the HART communicator. Wait for the self-test message that no device is found. Then press OK

<F4>.

4 Connect the HART communicator to the HART communication line (to the pressure transmitter).

5 The HART communicator shows the following message on the display:
