Pipeline Pressure Operated Selective Shutdown Capability Compact System

DeltaMaticTM Rate of Drop Linebreak Detection System

Adaptable to Existing System Field Adjustable Withstands Harsh Environment

General Description

The Bettis DeltaMatic linebreak detection system is designed to automatically monitor a gas pipeline and send an instrument pressure signal if a predetermined rate of pressure drop is exceeded. The system is typically used to detect

a pipeline break situation and signal a valve operator. This automatic shutdown function provides safety and environmental protection in populated areas, river crossings, remote areas and other locations.

Features and Benefits

Works on pipeline pressure, no electrical power required Allows normal pipeline pressure fluctuations without shutdown Compact and assembled as a complete unit Can be retrofitted into an existing system with minimal field hookup Can be installed remote from or directly on valve operator

Uses a labyrinth type flow restriction (restrictor) providing a large passage size compared to an equivalent orifice or metering valve Standard rate of drop ranges down to 5 and up to 120 psi/minute Rate of drop setting can be easily field adjusted Functions in extreme cold environment to 50F [46C]

OPERATION SHOWN WITH LINE VALVE OPEN LINE VALVE WOULD CLOSE WITH POWER GAS PRESENT LINE PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO DIFFERNTIAL PRESSURE PILOT (120) AND TO RATE TANK (108) THRU CHECK VALVE (103). THE DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE PILOT (120) COMPARES LINE PRESSURE WITH REFERENCE PRESSURE IN RATE TANK (108). IF LINE PRESSURE DECREASES, A DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE IS CREATED BETWEEN RATE TANK AND LINE ACROSS RESTRICTOR (105). THIS DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE, MEASURED BY THE DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE PILOT, IS A FUNCTION OF RATE TANK SIZE, RESTRICTOR SIZE, AND RATE OF DROP OF LINE PRESSURE. WITH THE RATE TANK SIZE BEING FIXED, AND RESTRICTOR SIZED FOR A GIVEN APPLICATION, THIS DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO RATE OF DROP OF LINE PRESSURE. THE DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE PILOT IS CALIBRATED TO VENT A SIGNAL FROM THE VALVE OPERATOR CONTROL WHEN THE RATE OF DROP EXCEEDS A PREDETERMINED SETTING.

DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE, P (PSID)

2" GREEN

A restrictor size is selected at the factory, based on a specified rate of drop range and pipeline pressure range. The calibration chart for the selected restrictor (example at right) is used the find the differential pressure (P) corresponding to a specific rate of drop and pipeline pressure. Example: If the rate of drop to be detected is 20 psi/min and pipeline pressure is 600 psig, then the corresponding P is 26 psig (as shown). The DeltaMatic pilot is then set to trip at this P by selecting a spring and adjusting the setpoint. The rate of drop setting of the system can be changed by adjusting the DeltaMatic pilot to a different P. This may require selecting a different spring, which may be changed and recalibrated in the field. If the required rate of drop range should change or be revised by the user, the DeltaMatic unit can be converted to a different nominal range in the field by fitting a different restrictor. (Table A).
