Dynatrol® Viscosity Systems

2009-09-01T07:33:00.000-07:00

Dynatrol® Viscosity Systems provide fast, precise viscosity measurement for use on a wide variety of process industry applications: plastics, chemicals, inks, paper, oils, paints, shampoos, adhesives, coatings, foods, etc. The Dynatrol viscometer utilizes a unique vibratory principle to provide continuous measurement at on-line process conditions. This eliminates the need for sampling and provides exceptional accuracy. Your Dynatrol Viscosity Measurement System begins with the proper selection of a probe and digital viscosity converter for your application.

The Viscosity Probe utilizes a vibrating rod immersed in the process media. The design is without recesses, packing or wearing parts. The Dynatrol Viscosity Probe is available in stainless steel and other corrosion-resistant materials. It can operate in ranges up to 100,000 centipoise. It has a standard pressure rating of 1000 PSI and a standard temperature rating of 300°F. Higher pressure and temperature ratings are available to meet specific needs and to satisfy a wide range of requirements. With no moving parts it is virtually wear-free - ensuring a long operating life.

The Viscosity Stand Alone package provides a solution where an in-line viscometer is not practical. Its ½ " NPT inlet and outlet process connections can be valve isolated from the process stream to facilitate cleaning procedures, calibration, etc. This stand-alone system maintains the same standard ratings as our in-line system.

The Digital Viscosity Converter The Dynatrol Digital Converter Series 3000 (Model STD) was designed for use with all Dynatrol Viscosity Systems. Using microcontroller technology, the digital converter accepts information from a Dynatrol® Viscosity probe and calculates the viscosity of the liquid under test. The Series 3000 Converter mathematically computes and displays the viscosity in standard units.

Dynatrol® Density Systems

2009-09-01T07:27:00.000-07:00

Dynatrol® Density Systems are designed for the measurement of density in familiar units such as specific gravity, API gravity, Baumé, BRIX°, as well as being able to measure the percent solids or percent concentration of a liquid or slurry.

Dynatrol Density Systems achieve exceptional accuracy over a wide range of process changes in ambient temperature, pressure, viscosity or flow

Dynatrol products are highly respected and relied upon in a variety of industries. Our products are well-proven and extremely versatile as process tools.

Principle of Operation
The media under test flows through the internal U-tube portion of the Dynatrol cell. The ½” tubing is driven into mechanical vibration by the electrically excited drive coil. As the density or specific gravity of the media increases or decreases, so does the effective mass of the U-tube, changing the frequency of vibration.

The pick-up end, consisting of an armature and coil arrangement, senses the vibration and provides an output that is a function of the density, specific gravity or percent solids of the process media.

Advantages
All components have been constructed for a long operating-life. Dynatrol Cells are rugged, accurate & easily installed. They can be installed across a main line transfer pump or a small re-circulating pump may also be used so that a small stream of the process media circulates through the U-tube. additionally, they can be installed across an orifice or other pressure drop point.

OPC Server Developer Studio DLL

2009-06-06T04:56:00.000-07:00

The OPC Server Developer Studio DLL offers a fast and easy access to the OPC Data Access (DA) and OPC Alarms&Events (AE) technology. Develop OPC DA 1.0a, 2.05a, 3.00 00 and OPC AE 1.00, 1.10 compliant Servers with any compiler capable of generating Windows DLL’s.

The developer can concentrate on his application and servers can be developed fast and easily without the need to spend a lot of time learning how to implement the OPC specifications. The server API is easy to use and many OPC specific functions, e.g. creating a group or adding an item to a group are handled by the framework. Even the complex asynchronous read/write handling is handled by the framework.

The “Framework” includes all OPC DA 1.0a, 2.05a, 3.00 and OPC AE 1.00, 1.10 handling and ensures the OPC compliance. It is implemented as a generic C++ based executable.

The “Server API” easy to use interface functions required for developing OPC DA/AE compliant servers. The OPC server is supplied as an EXE file with the application adaptation part in a Windows DLL.

Triconex Turbine Safety

2009-03-12T06:37:00.000-07:00

Over the last decade, turbine operators have been converting their mechanical trip systems to redundant electronic controls in order to improve the reliability of their trip systems and to reduce their exposures to turbine overspeed accidents during testing. This is a big improvement, but it has exposed another weak link in the trip chain: the hydraulic trip solenoid.

One solenoid valve can’t be tested without tripping the turbine. Two solenoids in series can be tested, but both solenoids must open to affect a trip. Some manufacturers offer a two-out-of-three voting arrangement that can be tested on-line, but not repaired on-line. And these triplicated arrangements depend on precision orifices and a narrow fluid viscosity range to be effective.

The Invensys Turbine Safety System provides a solution to all these problems. Consisting of a Trident Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) controller and a Quadvoter hydraulic trip block, the Invensys Turbine Safety System ensures that no single component failure can cause a trip and no single component failure can prevent a trip. All active components are testable and repairable online without bypassing trip functions.

The Quadvoter is placed in series with the hydraulic trip header to keep the steam trip valves open during operation. On detection of an over speed condition the Trident instructs the Quadvoter to dump the trip fluid to the reservoir during a trip action. The Quadvoter can be provided for dump-style systems or for systems requiring a pressure source.

In any safety system, the key component in reducing the system’s probability of failure on demand is testing. Interfacing directly to the Trident TMR controller, the Quadvoter provides both the means to test all the active components and instrumentation to judge the results. Pressure instruments monitor the state of each solenoid valve and during testing, they provide feedback to the control system to allow confirmation of the success of each step in the test. Optional proximity switches provide an additional level of redundancy and allow performance monitoring of each solenoid valve.

Isolation valves allow each pair of solenoid valves to be taken out of service and replaced without compromising the system’s ability to trip, if required.

The Trident executes test logic to fully automate the Quadvoter test sequence. Each step of the test procedure is monitored and can be recorded for test documentation. Testing can be initiated by the operator or it can be scheduled to proceed automatically.

Each step of the automated test sequence has a “pass” criteria. If any step in the sequence fails, the test is aborted and the operator is notified. Test failure details are presented to the maintenance personnel to allow quick troubleshooting.

The Trident includes the most sophisticated speed detection system available in the industry. The Trident pulse module not only provides the highest speed calculation accuracy, it is the only pulse module available that can detect missing teeth. One turbines that experience high vibration at high speeds, the probe gap can open up enough that some of the teeth are not counted. Ordinary pulse modules will interpret this as a reduction in speed. Not the Trident. It records the time of each tooth as it passes and can thereby compensate for missed teeth, allowing it to always calculate the correct speed.

An important benefit of installing a Quadvoter trip system is the use of industry-standard NFPA hydraulic components eliminating the reliance on expensive OEM trip system parts. High replacement parts prices and long leadtimes are eliminated.

The Invensys Turbine Safety System is the most reliable, most available and most testable turbine trip system available.
