Instrument Design

Pressure, temperature, and flow will be measured during testing of a mock-up. Pressure will be measured at various points along the length using either a TEE fitting or saddle attached to the pipe with a pressure gauge. Temperature will be measured inside and outside the pipe before, during, and after injection using thermocouples inserted through punch holes or saddles. Flow will be measured before injection to check volume and detect voids using a flow meter between the pump and injection point supplied by the vendor.

Pressure Measurement Pressure measurement shall be taken along the length of the mock up test set up at various locations.

The pressure measurement shall be done during and after the injection of the filler material. Two alternatives are proposed to get the pressure measurement. The first alternative is to provide a TEE for the HDPE duct and mount the pressure gauge above it. The second alternative is to provide HDPE pipe saddle and mount a pressure gauge over it.

Figure 1: (a) HDPE Pipe saddle for instrumentation (b) Modular Instrumentation TEE The advantage with the second alternative is that the saddles are easy to install and pressure gauge can easily be mounted on the threaded part of the saddle with the cast iron base and the nuts and bolts. The saddle can be clamped on the pip with two halves of cast iron bring together and tightened with the nuts and bolts. An o-ring forms a seal between the saddle and main pipe. The other advantage with the saddles is that they do not require welding/couplings to install on the pipe as against the HDPE TEEs, those require couplings to connect. Hence it is recommended to use the pipe saddle instead of TEE for the pressure gauge assembly Temperature Measurement Temperature measurement shall be done before, during and after the injection of filler material at the inner and outer surface of the duct. Thermocouples shall be used to get the temperature values at the inner and outer surface. The thermocouple wire shall be inserted inside the duct

through a punch hole made in the duct. The hole than can be plugged with the filling material (? ). The other alternative is to insert the thermocouple wire through the pipe saddle and get the temperature reading. The temperature at the outer surface of the duct shall be read through the same thermocouples connected to the data acquisition system. Flow Measurement Flow measurement shall be done in order to check the volume of the filler materials and to check the voids if present. The flow meter shall be installed before the injection point between pump and the injection. The flow meter shall be supplied by the vendor with the pumping and heating equipment. The actual volume of the pumped corrosion protection mass system shall than be checked and verified with the theoretical quantities calculate.
