\B2.0 USING 'ISO'\b \BSTEP 1:\b Install the program: a) DOS version: Put the program diskette in drive A and type: A:\\INSTALL This will install the DOS-programs in directory C:\\ORIFICE or show you how to install the program in a directory of your choice. b) Windows version: The Windows version of the program uses the Visual Basic 3.0 runtime DLL. Put the program diskette in drive A. From the Microsoft Windows Program Manager, choose RUN from the FILE menu and type: A:\\SETUP or double-click on the SETUP.EXE file in drive A. Setup will copy the program to directory C:\\ORIFICE unless you make your own choice. If you want the program-icon to appear in another group window, move it to where you want 'ISO' to be and delete the window group made by Setup. Save your selections. \BSTEP 2:\b Start the program by typing "ISO" from the DOS-prompt, or 'click' on the correct icon: FLOW -ORIFICE FLOW-ORIFICE CALCULATION PROGRAM International Standard ISO 5167-1:1991 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (C) 1996 by B. K. Berge (Version 4.0) The Disclaimer is shown before the main menu appears: Gas Orifice Liquid Orifice Restriction Orifice - Gas Restriction Orifice - Liquid EXIT \BSTEP 3:\b Calculation Options: After choosing type and method of calculation the input-screen will appear. For gas-calculations you have to enter specific gas gravity, temperature and pressure. You can also give molefractions of N2, CO2 and H2S for sour gas calculations. The AGA-8 equation is used for calculating Z-factor (compressibility factor) for natural gases. The equation is complex, and calculation time may be long depending on your computer-type. The Redlich-Kwong equation of state is used for air and nitrogen. For oil-calculations you have to enter specific oil gravity, temperature and pressure. It is also recommended to give molecular weight of oil. For water-calculations the input requirements are salinity, temperature, and pressure. NOTE: It is assumed that all dissolved solids for water are expressed as equivalent sodium chloride concentration. The results are an orifice specification sheet giving the necessary data for design of an orifice or evaluating an existing orifice. \BSTEP 4:\b Interpreting the results: The results will contain a few factors that you should know: \UISO 5167-1:1991\u The basic flow equation is: Qm = C*E*Eps*Pi/4*OD^2*Sqrt(2*dP*Roh) where Qm = Mass flow rate (kg/s) C = Discharge coefficient = Alpha/E E = Velocity of approach factor = 1/(Sqrt(1-Beta^4)) Eps = Expansion factor due to pressure drop Pi = 3.14159 OD = Orifice diameter at actual flowing conditions dP = Differential pressure across orifice Roh = Density of flowing fluid measured at upstream tap The flow coefficient is given above as: Alpha = C * E and the orifice to pipe diameter is: Beta = OD/PID The definition of the factors are given in Ref. 1.
