Important Safety Information!

CAUTION:

(Standard version) Never remove the flow sensor

from a pressurized pipe. Always wear safety face

protection during sensor installation/removal.

(Hot-Tap version) Follow the recommended

installation/removal instructions in this manual.

Always wear safety face protection during sensor

installation/removal.

Maximum Operating Pressure:

225 psi (15 bar)

Maximum Operating Temperature:

212 °F (100 °C)

Serious bodily injury and/or damage to the sensor

can result if the conditions and specifications

presented in this manual are exceeded. DO NOT

exceed specifications under any circumstances.

Pipe fittings MUST be installed by a certified

welder only. OMEGA will not assume liability of

any kind for improper fitting installations.

The FP-6000 Hot-Tap system's overall specifica-

tions and limitations depend on the lowest maxi-

mum rating of the components associated with the

system. In other words, the Hot-Tap system is only

as strong as its weakest link. For example, a ball

valve, a component of the system, is rated at a

maximum 100 psi @ 185 °F, limiting the entire

system's maximum pressure/temperature rating to

100 psi @ 185 °F. All higher maximum specifica-

tions MUST yield to the component with the lowest

maximum specification.

Introduction

This manual contains description, specifications

and instruction for the installation, removal, and

operation of the OMEGA FP-6000 Series

Adjustable Brass Flow Sensor. Please read the

manual thoroughly. If you require further

assistance, please contact your OMEGA dealer.

1.1 Description

The FP-6000 Series is an insertion flow sensor

used to measure the flow velocity of fluids through

process pipes. The sensor insertion depth is

adjustable, allowing installation into metal pipes

ranging from 11/2 to 24 inches in diameter (11/2

to 36 in. for Hot-Tap). The Hot-Tap version

enables installation in active pipes, reducing

downtime to a minimum. Wetted parts include

C36000 brass, CD4MCu steel, tungsten steel,

Fluoroloy B, and Viton®.

The FP-6000 Series mounts on the pipe through

any standard 11/2 inch female pipe fitting. The

unit comes equipped with standard NPT threads

or optional ISO 7/1-R 11/2 threads.

1.2 Theory of Operation

Liquid flowing through a process pipe rotates the

sensor paddlewheel. An AC frequency is induced

into the sensor coil which is proportional to the

fluid velocity in amplitude and frequency. The AC

signal is then input to a control instrument where

the frequency is converted to engineering units and

used to display flow rate and control external

devices.

Patented open-cell rotor

design provides a linear AC

output over a wider velocity

range.

Fluid

Flow

The linearity and accuracy of the FP-6000 Series

sensor depend on predictable flow conditions in

the pipe and proper location of the fitting. As

with any insertion flow sensor, the pipe must be full

and generally free of air pockets.

2.1 Location of Fitting

The sensor must be located in a free-flowing

straight run of pipe. OMEGA recommends a

minimum of 10 pipe diameters of straight pipe

upstream and a minimum of 5 diameters down-

stream to insure a fully developed flow profile.

Any obstructions to the flow will require consider-

ably longer straight runs. Figure 1 illustrates

several common situations and recommended

piping distances.

Chapter 2

Installation and

Wiring

2.2 Sensor Position

When installing the sensor in a horizontal pipe run

the optimum position is at 0° or 180°, assuming

the line is always full and contains no solids.

Air pockets or sediment in the line will disturb the

rotation of the paddlewheel, causing inaccuracy in

the calibration. Installing the sensor at an angle

(max. 30°) will help to avoid these problem areas,

but use caution. Excessive angles will cause

bearing drag at lower flow rates.

On a vertical pipe run locate the sensor where the

flow is upward. If downward flow is necessary

the system must be designed to prevent air/water

vapor pockets from developing in the pipe which

will affect the performance of the sensor.

Figure 2

Sensor Installation Range

Vertical mounting is recom-

mended to provide best

overall performance.

Special Considerations

For Hot-Tap installations allow at least 3 feet of

vertical clearance for sensor installation plus the

distance required for the isolation valve and fittings

attached to the pipe. More clearance may be

necessary to suit the drilling machine used during

sensor installation.

4. Open the isolation valve and insert the drill

through the valve and cut the sensor clearance

hole. After the hole is cut, withdraw the drill from

the isolation valve and close the valve. Remove

the drilling machine per manufacturer's instructions.

5. Install brass sensor nut/bleed valve into the top

of the isolation valve. Make sure the bleed valve

clears the handle of the isolation valve during

operation.

3.5 Calculating the H Dimension

Before installing the sensor some critical dimen-

sions must be established. The rotor shaft must be

located 10% inside the pipe I.D. to insure accurate

calibration capability. To accomplish this, the "H"

dimension is measured from the outside surface of

the pipe to the bottom of the sensor flange.

Nominal "H" dimensions for standard pipes are

listed on page 18-19. For irregular pipe dimen-

sions, calculate the "H" dimension using the given

formulas (page 7). The 6 inch ruler may be used

to measure the I.D. and wall thickness of pipes up

to 5 inch (standard sensors only).

For standard sensor installa-

tions, the ruler may be used to

measure wall thickness and

I.D. of pipes up to 5 inches in

diameter.

threaded rods included in package. Install

threaded rod with a lock-washer onto the brass

sensor nut. Secure rods in place by tightening

each hex nut against the brass sensor nut.

2. Thread one jam nut and lower hex nut onto

each stud so that the top surface of each nut is at

the proper "H" dimension for your pipe. Secure

each hex nut with a jam nut.

3. Insert the flow sensor into the brass sensor nut,

making sure the alignment hole on the sensor

flange is pointing downstream.

1. Thread one hex nut onto each of the three

threaded rods included in package. Install

threaded rod with a lock-washer onto the brass

sensor nut. Secure rods in place by tightening

each hex nut against the brass sensor nut.

2. Thread one jam nut and lower hex nut onto

each stud so the top surface of each nut is 13.75

in. (350 mm) from top surface of brass sensor nut.

Secure each hex nut with a jam nut.

This setting is critical to ensure an adequate

sensor seal and to prevent the rotor from hitting

the isolation valve orifice during installation.

3. Wipe the FP-6000 Series sensor body with a

dry, clean cloth. Orient the alignment hole on the

sensor flange to point downstream. Place the

slotted flange over the threaded rods. Lower the

sensor into fitting until the sensor flange rests on

the lower hex and jam nuts.

4. Secure the sensor with lock-washers and upper

hex nuts on the top of the flange. Before tighten-

ing, align the sensor flange so that the alignment

rod is parallel and level with the process pipe.

5. Make sure the bleed valve is closed (full

clockwise position).

Using the Hot-Tap Installation Tool

The Hot-Tap installation tool helps to lower the

sensor into place against the pressure in the pipe.

1. Thread protector plate hex nuts onto each of the

three threaded rods. Adjust each hex to a height

of approximately 1 in. (25 mm) from the top of

each rod. Remove the black plastic cable grom-

met in top of sensor with a screwdriver. Slide the

grommet up the cable away from sensor.

2. Position the installation tool bearing plate by

rotating it so that it is approximately 2 inches away

from the swivel mount. Mount the installation tool

by placing the threaded rods through the holes in

the tool's bearing plate, resting the bearing plate

on top of the protector plate hex nuts. Make sure

the swivel mount's ears are mounted between the

threaded rods (not over the rods). Install the

bearing plate cap nuts. Tighten the bearing plate

cap nuts to secure the installation tool in place.

4. Wearing safety face protection, slowly open

the isolation valve to the full open position.

Loosen the lower hex and jam nuts and move them

to the required "H" dimension. Turn the installation

tool shaft clockwise until the sensor flange contacts

the lower hex and jam nuts. Thread the upper hex

nuts down until they contact the sensor flange.

Tighten the upper hex nuts to secure the sensor.

5. Remove cap nuts and withdraw the installation

tool by turning shaft counterclockwise. Be careful

to not damage cable. Snap cable grommet into

twisting motion.

4.2 Hot-Tap Sensor Removal

To remove the Hot-Tap sensor safely from a

pressurized active pipe, the entire installation

process must be reversed.

1. Remove the cap nuts, protector plate, protector

plate hex nuts, and sensor cable grommet.

2. Thread installation tool in place and secure

bearing plate in place of sensor protector plate.

3. Turn shaft of installation tool clockwise to lower

5.3 Rotor Replacement Procedure

1. With a small pair of needle-nose pliers, firmly

grip the center of the rotor pin (axle) and with a

twisting motion, bend the rotor pin into an "S"

shape. This should pull the ends of the pin out of

the shaft retainers and free the rotor assembly.

2. Remove shaft retainer from each side by gently

tapping it inwards using a punch. Install a new

shaft retainer with the rotor shaft clearance hole

inward. Only install one shaft retainer at this

time.

3. Insert the new rotor assembly and bearings into

the rotor housing of the sensor and place the new

rotor pin (axle) through the open end of the rotor

housing, through the rotor and bearings, and into

the previously installed shaft retainer.

4. Tap the second shaft retainer (rotor shaft clear-

ance hole inwards) into the hole while lining up the

rotor pin with the center of the shaft retaining hole.

This completes the rotor replacement procedure.

K-factors and A-factors are listed in

U.S. gallons and in liters. Conversion

formulas for other engineering units

are listed below.

• The K-factor is the number of pulses generated

by the FP-6000 series paddlewheel per unit of

liquid in a specific pipe size.

• The A-factor is the flow rate (per minute) repre-

Load impedance: 0 to 1000 Ω max.

Ambient Conditions

Maximum

operating pressure: 225 psi (15 bar)

Maximum

operating temperature: 212°F (100 °C)

Caution: The FP-6002 and FP-6003 Series Hot-

Tap system's overall specifications and limitations

depend on the lowest maximum rating of the

components associated with the system. For

example, a ball valve, a component of the system,

is rated at a maximum 100 psi @ 185°F, limiting

the entire system's maximum pressure/temperature

rating to 100 psi @ 185°F. All higher maximum

specifications MUST yield to the component with

the lowest maximum specification.

Note: Pressure/temperature specifications refer to

sensor performance in water. Certain chemical

limitations may apply. Chemical compatibility

should be verified before sensor installation.
