Water Cut Analyzer Validation Loop

 

Validation loop with measurement section attached

This compact validation system was designed, with simplicity in mind, to verify the calibration of Phase Dynamics measurement sections.

How the system operates:

  • A microprocessor board, with its associated EPROM from the unit to be tested, is placed into the System Electronics.

  • The measurement section is attached to the loop using quick disconnect flange adapters.

  • The measurement section is then connected to the System Electronics.

  • A Windows-based program interfaces to the System Electronics through a serial port.  The software provides instructions to the operator for each step of the process and generates a report from the test.

  • The operator is instructed to pour fluids, of various ratios of known water cut, into the system.

What the system includes:

  • Windows-based Validation Loop software

  • RS232 serial cable to connect to PC

  • fittings and (2) quick-disconnect flange adapters to connect the measurement section to the loop

  • variable speed centrifugal pump

  • vacuum pump to remove the air from the system after loading

  • compressor to pressurize the loop to 60 psi

  • drip pan

  • valves

  • piston assembly

  • system electronics

  • (measurement section is not included)
