EXPERIMENT 1
1. Tanks T1 and T2 should be filled with water almost up to the level of their
overflow pipes.
2. Control valves FCVL, FCVE and FCVQ are all air-to-open (ATO).
3. Open the instrument air supply to operate the control valve system
Check that the pressure is set in accordance to the pressure indicated at
the air pressure regulator (AS)
If there is any condensed water at the air regulator, purge it by opening its
bottom bleed valve.
5. The control valves can only be selectively operated ONE at a time from the flow
indicator controller, FIC.
2. Fully close the following manual valves: MVB, MVE1, MVQ1, and BVL.
3. Turn all the selector switches (SS1, SS2 and SS3) to position 1.
4. Controller FIC must be in manual (M) mode with its MV=100%. Make sure the
chart drive of the recorder FDPZR is running. Otherwise, press it’s ‘STOP’
pushbutton for a few seconds with its front swing cover opened.
5. Starts pump PS and verify its flow at the discharge of pipeline PLL into tank T2.
Fully close the pump by-pass manual valve BVS for maximum available flow
through the control valve FCVL and the pipeline PLL using the smaller pump PS.
6. Refer to the Table AL and note the following readings at the recorder FDPZR and
the pressure gauge PS.

big pump, PB.
1. Switch FIC to manual (M) mode and set it to its default set point (SV), output
MV and PID valves.
2. Switch off all of the pumps. Press the recorder ‘STOP’ pushbutton for a few
seconds to stop the chart drive. The recorder will display ‘Record Stop’.
3. Turn off the external air supply valve to the model plant. It is not necessary to

4.0 QUESTIONS
5. Compare the characteristic curves of FCVL, FCVE and FCVQ obtained in Experiment
1 with those in Experiment 2. Is the deviation from the inherent characteristics more
serious in Experiment 2 than in Experiment 1? Please comment on the DPv and DPs
in each case.
