Installation of Barco Venturi ‘The Barco venturi is to be installed with at least five pipe diameters upstream and two pipe diameters downstream as shown in Figure 1 Pipe schedule shall be same schedule as venturi. ¥2-inch through 10:inch pipe is schedule 40 and 12-inch and above standard schedule (j.e., .375-inch wall. ‘The pressure tap nipple, valve and quick connect couplings are color ‘coded and supplied with the venturi as separate items. Install the red colored assembly into the upstream pressure tap (painted red). The green assembly is installed in the throat tap (painted green), In general, the length of upstream pipe will affect the accuracy of the venturi reading. The longer and straighter the lead in section, the more accurate the system. In most cases, five diameters of upstream pipe is all that is required. When designing a venturi system please consider the following: 1. Install balancing cock or other ‘control valve downstream of the venturi If this valve must be placed upstream, increase the ‘number of upstream diameters to ten minimum. If valve is severly throttled, it is highly recommended that it be placed downstream of the venturi. If limited space requires shorter Upstream pipe length, contact factory, 2. For system requiring~high accuracy (+ 12°) contact fac- tory for recommended system configuration. 3. The venturi may be installed in ‘any position: vertical, horizon- tal, or at an angle. Flow must be inthe direction indicated by the flow arrow located on the venturi, Figure 1. The inlet side of the venturi is the end closest to the red pressure tap. 2 4. For horizontal installation of the venturi, pressure taps should be located at the side of the venturi to prevent clogging and/or air entrapment. 8. The (AP) differential pressure reading is independent of high or low liquid system pressures or barametric pressures. If temperature correction is re- quired, use chart in Catalog 866B. Gaseous flow is affected by pressure and temperature variation. For gas flow please consult Catalog 8668 or consult the factory. 6. On occasion, dir, pipe scale or other contaminants may clog the venturi taps. This can be checked by bleeding the pressure tap lines. I flow exists, the line is clear. If no fluid flow occurs, the following steps should be taken. a) Venturi Shut off system and bleed venturi to ensure there is no residual system pressure. —Remove the nipple, valve, and quick connect coupler from the ventur. —Using a small wire, or by backflushing, clean the tapped venturi por. —Check valve, nipple and quick connect couplers for free flow. an outside source of water, connect nipple, valve and quick connect coupler to the meter. Bleed with the outside water source. If clogged remove valve, quick connect coupler and hose, and clean. Recheck after assembly. 7. Fluctuating readings (meter needle fluctuating over several Points) can be caused by erratic 8. or disturbed flow patterns. Refer to paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, Correct as necessary. In most instances, these luctuations can be dampened by partially closing the valve near the ven- turi. Caution must be taken not to completely close these valves. Cold weather operation. CAUTION Cold Weather OPERATING Instructions a) Open blowdown valves on meter. b) Invert and elevate meter a few feet, if possible, so that ends of hoses are sus- pended below meter case. ©) Insert plug in end of each hose to open socket valves. and let each hose drain completely, WARNING: Do not run water ‘over +212°F. through standard meter. Purge with cold water.

Two seal pots are required for each venturi, .e., one for each venturi pressure tap. Installation: 1. Connect venturi pressure taps to upper seal pot taps as shown on Figures 7 and 8 with %-inch copper tubing (‘4-inch pipe). 2. For portable meter use, install the venturi quick disconnect coupling, valve and nipple to the lower, seal pot tap. —Red disconnect to be installed on tap. Green disconnect to be installed on throat tap. }. Fixed meter—plumb directly between the lower seal pot tap and the meter. Refer to fixed meter installa- tion, Section III of this manual. ‘Tubing connecting the venturi to the seal pot and from the seal pot to the fixed meter is not furnished with the seal pot. The mounting support and this tubing is to be supplied by the contractor. . For air purging of system and for taking a flow reading, refer to Section Il and ill of this manual. Caution: When purging, the seal pot is not to be ‘emptied of water or condensate. Figure 8. vericat installation for Barco venturi using seal pots for steam service. ol V. Venturi Monitoring Equipment 1, Hydraulic to Hydraulic: The hydraulic to hydraulic system uses the pressure differential be- tween inlet and throat areas of the venturi to activate a differential pressure meter. The indicated readings are usually in: 2) inches of water which can bbe converted to GPM via a conversion flow chart b) direct reading in GPM, or, ©) % of total flow. All of the following devices use the hydraulic pressure differential to activate the readout device. A. Direct Reading Meters: Pressure differential meters that can be used with the Barco venturi a) *t The ITT/Barton differen- tial pressure meter (available through Barco) Model 226-6" dial, + 12% full scale accuracy. b) *t Meriam meter—Model 11266" dial, + 1%% full scale accuracy. ©) * Midwest—Model 110,6” dial +%% full scale accuracy, 4) * Midwest—Model 130 (Detta Meter) +2% accuracy full scale. By calibration a +£1% at a given point. @) * Mercury or Water Mano- meter. Manomefers are usually laboratory or fixed station devices and can be extremely accurate, 1) * Digital read out devices— Ashcraft Digigauge differ- ential pressure readout. 10 B. Recording Meter ‘Two basic units can be used with the venturi, These are: 1) A flow recorder, that accu- rately records the pressure differential of the venturi. This differential can be converted to GPM via the calibration curves. Direct reading GPM scales are also available. 2) Integrating (totalizing) flow recorders are also available that will use the venturi pressure differential and maintain a reading on the total flow in the pipe line. Both recording devices are relatively expensive and can be obtained from the following companies as well as others: (Gee below for addresses.) a) * ITT/Barton—Model 202A Flow Recorder or Model 2438/2528 Integrating Flow Recorder b)* Foxboro—Model 40 Flow Recorder ©. Pressure tranducers can be used with the Barco venturi a) * Rosemount b) * ITT/Barton 2. Hydraulic to Electronic Readout Systems ‘An electronic readout system can also be used to measure fluid flow. This system uses the hydraulic differential pressure created by the venturi to actuate the transmitter or transducer (an electrical mechan- ical device) and send an electronic signal to the readout device. ‘There are several manufacturers of each component as well as suppliers of the total electronic package. Barco’s preferred unit is the Foxboro 843 d/p cell transmit- ter. This can be supplied with a 3 valve manifold and mounting bracket. This unit will provide a 4 to 20 mA de signal and has 25% accuracy.

Capacity Curves How to Use ‘The following pages provide all the information necessary to select and specify the venturis for your system. First, establish your line size and determine the flow requirements. Then refer to the sizing curve which covers the line size. Flows into gallons per minute are scaled along the bottom of the chart. The meter reading from 3 inches to 300 inches of water, is scaled along the left side of the char. Since the graph is scaled ‘on logarithmic lines, the curve appears as a straight tine. Example: GPM WATER 7 Dod tS FES 1 12 Select a venturi with a beta ratio that will produce a reading between 20% and 100% of the meter. For example, if we wish to flow 20 GPM of water through a 1%-inch pipe, we turn to the 1%-inch curve on page 16 and select the #588 venturi, which gives us a differ- ential pressure of 28 inches of water. Select a 0 inch to 50 inch meter with readings occurring between 10 inches and 50 inches H2O. The #588 refers to the beta ratio or the relationship of the venturi throat |.D. to the pipe 1.0, 4s erase aoa ‘INaNYWU3d '1334—SSO1 GV3H "XOuddy Ha VENTURI ‘CAPACITY CURVES wy) & Hyspan’ SAN DIEGO, CA rr) pat 30 10 10 ss 3 8 3 APPROX.
