Rosemount GDU-PTV Owner's manual

Brand: Rosemount

Model: GDU-PTV

Type: Owner's manual

Rosemount GDU-PTV is a performance target verification kit that provides an accurate method to test both functionality and performance of the GDU-Incus ultrasonic gas leak detector. This portable device can be used by a single person to generate a burst release representative of that expected in the event of an incident. It is commonly used in refineries, gas plants, and offshore installations to complement traditional gas detection methods and can be used to meaningfully and safely verify the performance target set out in the installation safety case.

1 Introduction

The Rosemount

™

GDU-PTV performance target verification kit provides an accurate

method to test both functionality and performance of the GDU-Incus ultrasonic gas leak

detector. The Rosemount GDU is an omni-directional airborne leak detector that responds

to pressurized gas leaks.

This detector complements traditional gas detection methods used in refineries, gas

plants, and offshore installations. Ultrasonic gas detectors are the only type of hazard (fire

or gas) detection product in which the performance target set out in the installation safety

case can be verified meaningfully and safely.

The Rosemount GDU-PTV generates a burst release representative of that expected in the

event of an incident. The Rosemount GDU-PTV is portable and can be used by a single

person.

2 Safety guidelines

WARNING!

HIGH PRESSURE

The cylinders of the Rosemount GDU-PTV contain high pressure nitrogen. For this reason,

ensure that the nozzle for the nitrogen release is not pointing in the direction of any personnel

or equipment within a range of five meters.

WARNING!

Before you begin operating the GDU-PTV, make certain that all connections between cylinders,

hoses, regulators, and valves are fully sealed and tightened accordingly. The cylinder removal

retainer should also be firmly attached using all four bolts as detailed in Section 3.1.

2.1 Liability

All liability for the correct function of the Rosemount GDU-PTV is irrevocably transferred to

the owner / operator to the extent that the Rosemount GDU-PTV is altered or installed

incorrectly by personnel not authorized by Rosemount or if the Rosemount GDU-PTV is

used in a non-conformance to its intended use.

2.2

Personal protection equipment

Personal protection equipment (PPE) covers the following, as a minimum:

• Thick gloves

• Safety glasses

• Ear plugs

• Hard hat

• Safety footwear

2.3

Rosemount GDU-PTV apparatus

• Rosemount GDU-PTV trolley with cylinder retainers

• 2 off 150 bar nitrogen (N

) cylinders

• High pressure hose from cylinders to regulator

• High pressure regulator

Specialty Gases

• The Rosemount

™

GDU-PTV cylinders should be securely attached using the cylinder

retainers. There are four bolts for attaching the removable cylinder retainer that

must all be in place and tightened to ensure the cylinders are locked in position.

• All hose connections must be safely secured, and it must be ensured that no leaks

are present.

• Pneumatic tires must be inflated.

• All valves must be closed when the equipment is not in use. After the regulator and

cylinder valves have been closed, the ball valve on top of the Rosemount GDU-PTV

should be opened slowly to bleed off any excess pressure.

3.2

Performance test

Complete the following test to see if the Rosemount GDU-PTV is working correctly.

Operational procedure

6 Rosemount GDU-PTV

Prerequisites

Position the trolley of the Rosemount GDU-PTV at the required distance with the nozzle

pointing at the detector before testing can commence. Only begin testing when the

equipment is in position on a flat even surface.

Procedure

1. Fully open the cylinder valve on the connected cylinder and observe the pressure on

the cylinder pressure gauge.

2. Dial up the required pressure using the regulator adjuster.

The Rosemount GDU-PTV is now prepared for a gas release. Make certain that no

personnel are in front of the Rosemount GDU-PTV nozzle.

The type of release expected in real service would be generated from a continuous

source of pressured gas. Using portable test equipment, it is not possible to recreate

this sound source for the whole duration of the control system time delay. For this

reason, remove all alarm delays for the duration of the test.

3. Contact the control room to verify the output of the correct GDU-01. The

Rosemount GDU-PTV is a burst release; record the immediate milliampere output of

the GDU-01.

4. Following confirmation from the control room, open the ball valve on top of the

Rosemount GDU-PTV briefly and then close it.

5. Confirm with the control room that an output from the GDU-01 under test has been

observed and recorded.

Postrequisites

After performance verification testing has been completed, close all valves. Before the

Rosemount PTV can be moved to the next test location, ensure that the regulator adjuster

is closed and then open the ball valve to bleed off any pressure left in the output hose.
