Introduction
The Micromotion F300 is a resonant-vibrating-tube device which measures mass
flow rate, fluid density, and temperature. For the cementing recirculation line

The density output of the F300 can be communicated to the cementing control
system processor (Unipro II, Azonix, FLECS, or PC) using serial communication
or analog signals. No transmitter is required for serial communication. For
analog output of density, a MicroMotion 2500 or 2700 transmitter is required.
The MicroMotion 1500, 1700, or 9739 transmitters will not work.

* In addition to density, the F300 flow rate and temperature can be output.

F300 Installation Tips for Cementing Recirc Systems

1. Install butterfly valves with multi-position locking plates in both the F300
branch and the bypass branch. The F300 line valve should be placed on the
downstream side of the density sensor.
2. Mininize pressure drop between the 6x5 pump outlet and the F300 entrance.
3. Provide the operator with a way to read the flow rate measured by the F300
(2700 transmitter, FLECS display, alternate display).
4. If the MicroMotion 2700 transmitter is used, mount it so the operator can read
it. Use MicroMotion ProLink’s Display Config tab to disable the “Display
Offline Menu” option.
5. The housing which surrounds the F300 core processor swivels. Point the
gland downwards before connecting to the 4 leads on the core processor.
After wiring up the core processor, wire-tie the cable coming out of the sensor
to prevent puck housing swivel.
6. After recirc system plumbing is complete, measure the F300 pressure and
rate while circulating clean water with the 6x5 recirc pump at full rpm.
Pressure at the F300 entrance must be at least 20 psi (30 psi
recommended). Flow rate through the F300 should be in the range 200-320
gpm.

F300 Operator Tips

1. Keep the 6x5 recirc pump at full rpm while mixing.
2. Check the 6x5 pump outlet pressure gage while mixing. If pressure falls
below 10 psi, partially close the valve downstream of the F300 until flow rate
is 60 gpm.
3. While mixing, check the cement flow rate through the F300. If less than 40
gpm, partially close the valve on the bypass line. If above 300 gpm, fully
open the valve on the bypass line and partially close the valve downstream of
the F300.
4. F300 calibration at startup: while circulating clean water at full rate, do an
“autocal” to make the FLECS (or Unipro or Azonix) display 8.33 ppg. Leave
the F300 calibration alone for the remainder of the job.
5. While mixing, measure slurry density using a pressurized mud cup. “Cal” the
downhole density to bring it into agreement with the mud cup. Leave the
downhole densometer calibration alone for the remainder of the job (unless
another pressurized mud cup reading is taken).
6. While mixing, vary the controller’s density setpoint to make downhole density
match the target density. The controller’s density setpoint value may often
be 0.1 to 0.3 ppg less than the target downhole density.
7. Clean up the F300 as soon as possible after mixing by circulating clean water
through it with the bypass line valve closed.

MicroMotion F300 with 2700 Transmitter

Setup Using ProLink

This section covers setting up a MicroMotion F300 flowmeter/densometer

installed with a MicroMotion 2700 transmitter. This document recommends
settings for the F300 but does not cover F300 installation, ProLink
communication, etc. For help with these other matters see:

• Manuals at www.MicroMotion.com. The ProLink manual is probably the

most pertinent to the setup matters discussed here.
• Density sensor manuals and notes on Halworld. One way to find these is
to go to the PE E-tech portal, select Sensors in the Community Links
window, and look under the Densometers heading.
• Halliburton’s internal collection of MicroMotion related material at
http://halworld.halnet.com/HES/Hesps/hespspe/hespspe_fracacid/hespsp
e_fracacid_eqsensors/content/hespspe_fracacid_micromotion.asp
• On the Halliburton CWI system, use "Advanced Lookup" with the
keywords "Micromotion" and "help".
• Contact Dick.Headrick@Halliburton.com

With the F300 and 2700 wired up and powered up, connect to the 2700 service
port and run ProLink II version 2.2 or later on your laptop. After establishing
communication between ProLink and the 2700, select menu ProLink option
Configure. A multi-tabbed window should appear. The tabs of interest are
shown on the following pages along with comments on settings.

Flow tab:

Check the following settings and change if necessary. After changing a setting,
click the “Apply” button.
• Set the “FlowDamp” value to 5 seconds. Enter 5 in the box, hit the Apply
button. The actual value may be slightly different (5.2 seconds rather than
5.0 seconds for example).
• The “Flow Cal” value should match the value on your F300’s tag.
• “Vol Flow Units” setting should be “US gal/min”
• Mass, Dens, and Vol Factors should all be 1.00000
• The “Enable Entrained Air Handling” box should be on.
• The flow damping, mass flow cutoff, and volume flow cutoff should be
close to the values shown above but are not critical to F300 operation.

Frequency/Discrete Output tab:

In some cases the volume flow rate from the F300 is sent to the Unipro, Azonics,
or FLECS controller. If you are using this signal, set the values as shown above.
Note that the maximum frequency output for the 2700 transmitter is 1000 hz. By
setting the pulses-per-US-gal to 60.0, the output frequency in hertz is the same
as the volume flow rate in gallons per minute.
