Yokogawa has developed plugging diagnostics and impulse piping heating monitoring functions specifically for the EJX series pressure transmitters. This article provides a description of advanced diagnostic functions with digital communication over the FOUNDATION Fieldbus and HART protocols.
OOO Yokogawa Electric CIS, Moscow
Introduction
Yokogawa's EJX series pressure transmitters diagnose plugging in the impulse piping used to transfer process pressure to the transmitter and monitor the condition of the impulse piping heating system at the connections to technological equipment. The first function, clogging detection in the impulse tubes, is based on the use of fluctuations in the pressure of the working medium that occur in the tubes. Another function, the control of the heating system of the impulse pipes, which is designed to prevent the medium in the pipes from cooling down, is based on the use of a temperature gradient corresponding to the thermal resistance inside the sensor. Unlike the self-diagnosis functions, these functions are referred to as the advanced diagnostic functions of the EJX series pressure transmitters. On fig. 1 shows the configuration of diagnostic functions.

Table 3 Diagnostic related output
By monitoring the condition of the impulse piping heating system at 1 second intervals, the flange temperature is determined based on the temperatures of the capsule and amplifier and compared with the upper and lower thresholds, an appropriate assessment is made.
While the system is evaluating all the parameters, the required diagnostic parameters are selected and the resulting diagnostic result is output according to the alarm output setting.
When using the FOUNDATION Fieldbus communication protocol, diagnostic alarms are displayed not only in the status output value, but also in the function block analog input (AI) output. When using the HART communication protocol, the available outputs are not only cutoff and fallback analog signal 4-20 mA, but also a contact output.
Below is a description of the basic procedures for diagnosing plugged impulse piping and monitoring the condition of the impulse piping heating system.
Algorithm for diagnosing blockage of impulse tubes
Blockage diagnostics are performed in the following sequence: setting the nominal values, simulating the situation with confirmation of the clogging detection, and real-life blocking detection. Simulation of a tube blockage situation is performed using a three-valve manifold or shut-off valve mounted on the impulse tubes.
In this case, the nominal values of pressure fluctuations are quite large. A minimum pressure fluctuation value limit must be selected to perform diagnostics. Diagnostics will only be possible if the pressure fluctuation values exceed the set minimum limit.
The diagnostic function parameters are configured using the Integrated Device Management Software Package PRM (Plant Resource Manager) and Versatile Device Management Wizard FieldMate developed by Yokogawa (5), (6).
Algorithm for monitoring the state of the impulse tube heating system
To do this, before performing the diagnostic procedure, it is necessary to heat the flange and measure its temperature. After that, the received coefficient is set in the device, as well as the alarm thresholds for high and low temperatures.

The pressure fluctuation values and the degree of blockage can be observed and controlled in the tabs of the windows (Device Viewer) of the FieldMate software. On fig. 8 shows examples of these tabs. Diagnostic data changes that occur when the valve is turned can be visualized during clogging modulation performed when setting up the blockage diagnostic.

Perkins tube is a steel loop impulse tube, designed for installation, protection of the device and selection of pressure of non-aggressive liquids, gases and steam. Perkins tube (loop impulse tube) is used for guard instrumentation (pressure gauge, sensor) from intense heat- overheating (by cooling the measured medium in the siphon), as well as to dampen water hammer(due to the compensating siphon loop, damping the pulsations of the water hammer). Perkins impulse tubes (straight and angled siphon elbows) are the most economical option for protecting and connecting pressure measuring instruments on all types of pipelines.
Perkins impulse loop tube cost depends on the material, design, thread type, etc.,
for example, the price of the basic version (straight, Steel 20, bottom for welding) - from 295 rubles *

In the case when the temperature of the working medium exceeds 90 0 C, an impulse tube with a loop (siphon design) is used. Thanks to the use of a compensating loop, the devices are protected from pulsations of the measured medium, water hammer and overheating. Depending on the location of the pipeline, a straight or angular Perkins version is chosen.
Loop impulse (siphon) Perkins tubes are usually made of steels: St.20, 09G2S, 12X18H10T, 12X1MF, 10X17H13M2T.

Auxiliary fittings for pressure measuring instruments include such a device as a Perkins tube, otherwise called an impulse tube for a pressure gauge or a loop tube. It is designed to reliably protect the device from possible fluctuations in the measurement environment and from excessive heating. With the help of a tube, the temperature at the point of contact of the device with the system decreases. In addition, the tube serves as an adapter from the pressure gauge to the pipeline.
Condensate accumulates in the cavity of the impulse tube, preventing the measured high-temperature medium from entering the middle of the pressure gauge. When putting the line into operation, it is necessary to make sure that there is coolant in the steel tube.
The Perkins loop tube is used in the measurement of liquids and gaseous substances, which are not strong reagents. In this capacity and as an intermediary between devices and pipelines, the impulse tube is the most economically profitable option connections. The operation of such a tube can extend the life of the measuring instrument for many years. The best way to connect this type of fitting to the pipeline system is the use of a threaded connection. In some cases, the connection is carried out by welding. Impulse tubes are made from various grades of stainless steel. If it becomes necessary to install pressure sensors, then Perkins copper tubes are used for their installation.
The impulse tube, which has an angled design, is used to install a measuring device on it and connect it to impulse systems. Sometimes these tubes are made of brass. Straight loop tubes are used in the same cases. The general purpose of this additional equipment consists in damping oscillations and pulsations in the medium being measured and preventing pressure gauge heating.
On the pages of the Soyuzpribor LLC online store you will find pressure sampling devices, connecting sleeves, various adapters for pressure gauges, frames, dampers, bosses and other types of additional equipment.
To create normal temperature conditions, the connection of the diaphragm seal with measuring instrument must be carried out either through a connecting sleeve or through a supply pipe, which is installed by the user between the pressure tap and the separator.
Pneumatic measuring pressure transducers GSP are always connected to the separator by means of a sleeve.
Displacement is allowed when mounting a separator with a connecting sleeve in height, while taking into account the installation error of the measuring device with an upper measurement limit of up to 1 MPa, determined by the hydraulic pressure of the separation liquid column in the connecting sleeve.
The standard connecting sleeve, model 55004, has a length of 2.5 meters when unfolded.
The damping device is resistant to ambient temperature from minus 55 to plus 70 °C, at relative humidity from 30 to 80% over the entire temperature range, and is also resistant to relative humidity of 95% at 35 °C (for U version) and relative humidity up to 100% at a temperature of 35 °C (for version T).
Valve blocks BK are intended for connection to the lines with the measured medium of devices for measuring excess and vacuum pressure. Blocks allow you to cut off devices from the lines without depressurizing the medium being measured, check the zero value of the readings of the devices or purge the impulse lines. For oxygen pressure measurement lines, degreasing of parts in contact with the measured medium is carried out and the designation “K” is put.
Coupling and adapter for pressure gauges or thermometers are connecting (connecting) fittings used in systems (pipelines) for transportation gaseous media and liquids of low viscosity and non-crystallizing character. In essence, these products are additional (auxiliary) equipment.
The impulse tube is used for pressure relief, connecting impulse lines to flow and pressure regulators. In addition, this is another inexpensive options solutions for high medium temperatures. Each meter of impulse tube lowers the temperature of the medium by about 80 degrees. Usually steel or copper impulse tubes are used. One end of the impulse tube, connected to the pressure source, has the most convenient thread for mounting G1/2, and the other end, connected to the transmitter or regulator, has a thread that matches the thread of the equipment.
For example: for ease of installation of pressure sensors, the AQUA-KIP company offers an impulse tube (copper) with threaded internal and external connections any length. Copper tube withstands pressure up to 87 bar and at the same time easily bends, which allows you to effortlessly and additional tool lay it in place from the pressure tap to the device.
