D.Provide ball valves or manifold if specified to isolate the instruments from the process.
E.Impulse Line piping for flow transmitters. The following information to be used for proper location & piping of differential pressure transmitters.
1.For liquid flow measurement taps should be made to the side of the line to avoid sediment deposits, with transmitter below the taps so gases or air will vent.
2.Make impulse lines short as possible. (Loops in impulse line piping not allowed.)
3.Slope piping at least 1 inch per foot or (per manufacture recommendations), up toward the process connection for liquid and steam.
4.Impulse lines shall run parallel so as to keep legs in balance.
5.Transmitters shall have
6.Transmitter sensor body shall be mounted vertical so as to keep liquid leg heights equal.
G.Install the body of the transmitter or switch in such a way that the connecting points for the sensing lines are level, so that the
