Rosemount 1154
Reference Manual
The piping between the process and the transmitter must transfer the pressure measured at the process taps to the transmitter. Possible sources of error in this pressure transfer are:
| • Leaks |
| • Friction loss (particularly if purging is used) |
| • Trapped gas in a liquid line or trapped liquid in a gas line (head error) |
| • |
| differential transmitters |
| To minimize the possibility of errors, take the following precautions: |
| • Make impulse tubing as short as possible. |
| • Slope tubing at least one inch per foot up toward the process |
| connections for liquid and steam. |
| • Slope tubing at least one inch per foot down toward the process |
| connections for gas. |
| • Avoid high points in liquid lines and low points in gas lines. |
| • Use impulse tubing of sufficient diameter to avoid friction effects. |
| • Ensure that all gas is vented from liquid tubing legs. |
| • Ensure that impulse tubing is of adequate strength to be compatible |
| with anticipated pressures. |
| For differential transmitters, also consider the following: |
| • Keep both impulse legs at the same temperature. |
| • When using sealing fluid, fill both piping legs to the same level. |
| • When purging, make the purge connection close to the process taps |
| and purge through equal lengths of the same size tubing. Avoid purging |
| through the transmitter. |
Conduit | The conduit connection to the transmitter is |
| conduit seal at the conduit entry to prevent moisture from accumulating in the |
| terminal side of the housing during accident conditions. To prevent the conduit |
| from adding mechanical stress to the transmitter during seismic disturbances, |
| use flexible conduit or support the conduit near the transmitter. Install the |
| conduit seal in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions or use the |
| procedure on page |
ELECTRICAL CONSIDERATIONS
This section contains information that you should consider when preparing to make electrical connections to the transmitter. Read this section carefully before proceeding to the electrical installation procedures.
