4.3Piping SMV 3000 Transmitter, Continued

Transmitter location	The suggested mounting location for the transmitter depends on the
	process to be measured. Figure 11 shows the transmitter located above the
	tap for gas flow measurement. This arrangement allows for condensate to
	drain away from the transmitter.
	Figure 12 shows the transmitter located below the tap for liquid or steam
	flow measurement. This arrangement minimizes the static head effect of
	the condensate. Although the transmitter can be located level with or
	above the tap, this arrangement requires a siphon to protect the transmitter
	from process steam. (The siphon retains water as a “fill fluid.”)
