It has been developed to provide a test methodology for measuring an
9、d reporting the capacity of pilot operated and direct acting pressure reducing regulators. The standard was originally approved in 2004. The section reaffirmed the standard. FCI recognizes the need to periodically review and update this standard. Suggestions for improvement should be forwarded to th

PURPOSE This standard creates a
12、 guideline for establishing and reporting regulator capacities for use by manufacturers, users, specifiers and approval bodies in order to promote consistent presentation of regulator capacities. 2. SCOPE To provide a test methodology for measuring and reporting the capacity of pilot operated and di
13、rect acting pressure reducing regulators. 3. DEFINITIONS 3.1 Accuracy of Regulation. The deviation from the set point, expressed as a percentage or as a fixed unit, taken at the test conditions. 3.2 Controlled Variable. The variable which shall be monitored by the controlling process. This variable
14、is either the outlet pressure or the differential pressure. 3.3 Lockup (Dead End Shutoff). The deviation of the controlled variable from set point obtained at a no flow condition. 3.4 Maximum Capacity. The flow rate at maximum travel generally used for safety or relief valve sizing. 3.5 Maximum Cv.M
15、aximum Cvis Cv at maximum capacity calculated per ISA S75.01 generally used for safety relief valve sizing. 3.6 Minimum Controllable Flow. The lowest flow rate, at a given set point and temperature, at which a steady regulated condition of the controlled variable can be maintained. The minimum contr
16、ollable flow is essentially zero for some regulators. Minimum controllable flow is used to determine turndown or rangeability. 3.7 Offset. The deviation of the controlled variable measured as the flow varies from the minimum controllable flow to the rated capacity. Offset is sometimes referred to as
17、 droop for pressure reducing valves. 3.8 Rated Capacity. The rate of flow obtainable through a regulator, for specified inlet and outlet conditions and fluid, at a specified offset or accuracy of regulation. 3.9 Rated Cv. Rated Cv is measured at rated capacity as calculated per ISA S75.01. 3.10 Rate
18、d Rangeability (Turndown). The rated capacity divided by the minimum controllable flow, usually expressed as a percentage. 3.11 Set Flow. The flow rate used to obtain the set point, typically 5 to 10% of rated capacity. 3.12 Set Point. The regulator adjustment corresponding to the desired value of t
19、he controlled variable. 3.13 Spring Range. The useable pressure range for a spring. Data is assumed to be taken at the midpoint of a spring range or temperature bulb unless otherwise noted. 4.

21、enough to allow the fluid medium to stabilize after passing through an elbow or valve. In some cases, a pipe length of greater than 18 pipe diameters may be needed. Straightening vanes may be added to the I. D. of the pipe to reduce the required length of upstream piping.34.1 Suggested test set up a
22、nd equipment is shown in Figure 1. Assure that all equipment has flow and pressure ratings equal to or greater than that expected in the test. Test set up can be per ISA 75.02.01 and ANSI B109.4. Accuracy of Instruments is also covered in these standards. 4.2 Insure the Flow Meter is installed in ac
23、cordance with the manufacturers recommendations. Note that the Flow Meter can be located anywhere in the flow stream. 4.3 Use appropriate size conduits and fittings to connect the test unit in the test stand to prevent conduit flow restrictions from adversely influencing the test. 4.4 Pressure taps
24、P1 and P2 to be located in the test setup as defined in Figure 2. 4.5 Assure that the test fluid is properly filtered before it enters the test stand to protect test regulator and instrumentation. 4.6 With the supply valve and downstream throttling valve closed, install the pressure regulator to be
25、tested. 4.7 Adjust the supply pressure of the fluid source to that required for the test. 4.8 Open the supply valve and assure there are no leaks in the setup. Verify the primary pressure, P1, is correct and maintained during the test. 4.9 Adjust the pressure regulator to be tested to the test setpo
26、int. Adjustments to the downstream throttling valve may also be required to position the setpoint at a minimum controllable flow. 4.10 Beginning with the downstream throttling valve closed, proceed to open the downstream throttling valve in a number of incremental steps to produce various flow rates
27、 through the test pressure regulator. Verify the primary pressure, P1, is maintained during the test. 4.11 Produce sufficient incremental flow rate steps to obtain a factual representation of the test regulators performance. Closely spaced data points will be required in the low flow region and high
28、 flow region for accurately determining lockup, minimum controllable flow, and maximum flow capacity. 4.12 Record the pressures P1, and P2, temperatures T1, and T2, and flow rate for each incremental increasing step in throttle valve opening. 4.13 Calculate the flow rate from the recorded data of fl
29、ow, pressure, and temperature. 4.14 From the recorded and calculated data, plot a performance curve of the secondary pressure vs. flow rate through the regulator. 4.15 Establish the desired accuracy of regulation and measure the rated capacity at that point. 4.16 Minimum controllable flow, lockup, a
30、nd maximum capacity can also be determined from the performance curve. (see Figure 3) 4.17 If desired, repeat steps 4.5. thru 4.11. for additional representative setpoints in the units regulating range from which a family of performance curves can be generated. 4.18 Optionally the rated and maximum
31、Cv can be determined per ISA S75.01. 4.19 The rated capacity shall always be presented graphically or in tables. The fluid, setpoint, minimum flow and accuracy of regulation (or offset) shall always be specified with the capacity information. All published Cvvalues shall be defined as either rated o
32、r maximum values.
