6/5/2019 Displacer type Level transmitter Fisher FIELDVUE™ DLC3010 Digital Level calibration | Kishore Karuppaswamy

A Level troll in and instrument used for measuring the liquid level between two known
points. The Level troll works on the buoyancy principal. Leveltrol has a float, which
submerses proportionately with liquid level raise in the float chamber. The amount of
submersion of the dis placer depends on the liquid density, which produces a torque. The
amount of torque produced in measured in terms of % of level.

Parts of Level troll:

Float chamber, Float, Torque lever, Knife edge, Feedback Bellows, Air Relay, Restriction,
Flapper, Nozzle, Feedback link, Density range, Action change lever, HP and LP flange,

Step 1:

Get Override from panel engineer and get PTW to work on the LT

Step 2:

Isolate the process from LT, i.e. isolate the three isolation point water, oil and gas points
respectively and connect Hart communicator to the LT

Initial set up

Communicator Configure > Calibration > Primary > Guided Calibration (2-5-1-1) then enter
the following values

Display unit>kg

Display value>mL

Display length unit > cm

Displacer weight> 3.200 kg

Displacer volume> 2686.1 mL

Displacer length> 290cm (not 380cm-default value- because here URV is 290)

Driver rod length> 20.00cm

Instrument mounting>left of displacer

TT material>NO5500

Level offset>0 cm

Desire action > Direct

Engineering unit of PV >cm

Calibration

If you only have a single fluid for calibration like water, run through Instrument Setup and
verify all displacer data is correct. Set

Level Offset to 0. Select mode to Level application with direct action, and enter SG=1.0
(water) or actual SG of test fluid if different than 1.0. Proceed with Min/Max calibration; note
that now the mode is in “LEVEL”.

Min/Max Calibration

The following procedure can be used to calibrate the sensor if the process condition can be
changed to the equivalent of a completely dry and completely submerged displacer, and
sight glass is available

Correct displacer information and the SG of the test fluid must be entered before
performing this procedure.

Follow the prompts on the Field Communicator to calibrate the instrument and sensor.

1. Set the control loop for manual control.

2. Enter the specific gravity for the liquid in the system here water

4. Hart communicator will ask you whether the displacer is dry. Adjust the water level
until the displacer is dry, that is, no water condition. Allow the output to settle, then
acknowledge establishment of the minimum buoyancy condition to the system, accept
this as the ‘Min’ condition. then enter min in hart communicator

5. Hart communicator will then ask you to establish fully submerge the displacer with
test fluid. Adjust the water level until the displacer is completely submerged in the
liquid up to 290 cm. Allow the output to settle, then acknowledge establishment of the
maximum buoyancy condition of the system Accept this as the ‘Max’ condition and
then enter max in hart communicator.

The sensor torque rate is calibrated now, after this follow the step below to change to
interface measurement

Run through Guided Setup and verify that all sensor data is correct.

Change the PV mode to “Interface”.

Set the Level Offset value to 0.00

Set the Specific Gravity of lower liquid to 1.09 and upper to .85 and continue to calibration
check (not calibration here)

Calibration checks:

Since we are using interface measurement, we need to change the measurement mode to
interface and check whether the calibration done is correct or not. Here it should be noted
that this is cross checking for interface measurement and not the calibration as in min/max
capturing

Mark in the chamber first point from zero level as 2900mm ie 100% (2900*1.00 i.e. s.g. of
lower liquid here water 1.00)

Mark the second point as 2465m as 0% (2900*0.85 i.e. s.g. of upper liquid here crude 0.85)
and we will perform calibration check between this 0 to 100 % range

Fill the chamber with water up to 2900 *1.00 =2900 mm and check for 100% interface level
measurement, the transmitter should show 100% and 20 mA

Fill the chamber with water up to 2900 *0.85 =2465 mm and check for 100% interface level
measurement, the transmitter should show 0% and 4 mA

Once the calibration and calibration check is over, put the vent plug and drain plug and
isolate both vent and drain valve and open the gas isolation valve, followed by the oil
isolation valve and then finally the water isolation valve and now the LT is taken into line
and the reading now showing is the interface level measurement.

Allow the process for settle for half an hour and observe the LT reading

Slide the access handle to the locked position to expose the access hole. Press on the back
of the handle as shown in

Then slide the handle toward the front of the unit. Be sure the locking handle drops into the
detent.
