2.1.1 Design considerations
Some conditions to consider:
• Service operating pressure
• Service testing pressures
• Service process temperature and ambient site temperatures
• Chemical composition and fluid toxicity in operating conditions
• Traffic, wind and earthquake at loading site
• Adverse force or stress caused by inadequate supports, attachments, piping, etc.
• Corrosion, erosion, fatigue, etc.
• Decomposition of unstable fluids in operating and test conditions
• Possible damage from external fire
• Mass of fluid in process and test conditions
WARNING
FUNCTIONAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD
Evaluate the functional and environmental conditions prior to installing a turbine meter.
Install the turbine meter in a well designed piping system.
Failure to comply may result in death or serious injury.
2.1.2 Environmental conditions
WARNING
EQUIPMENT HAZARD
Never use this equipment for any purpose other than its intended use.
Failure to comply may result in death, serious injury and/or property damage.
Table 2-2: Environmental conditions
Parameter type Description
Maximum working pressure This is based on the temperature and pressure rating of the ANSI
B16.5 flanges.
Severe service conditions Ensure that piping or other attachments connected to the
turbine meter are not under stress. The design of the turbine
meter has not been assessed for the effects of wind, earthquake
loading and/or other severe weather conditions.
Corrosive service Select the material compatible with specific processes and
atmospheric environments. Implement a periodic inspection
and maintenance program to ensure that pressure-retaining
components are free from corrosion and erosion.
