Pressure Tap (Gas Vapor Steam or Liquid ) |
Pressure
Tap For Gas

For
non-condensing gasses, tapping point should be made to the side or upper
quadrant of the process line and fitted with a suitable process
isolation valve, The pressure transducer (transmitter) should be
positioned above the tapping point with its process connection downwards
to allow any condensate that may form to drain back into the process
without blocking the impulse line. To ease service and commissioning the
transducer should be fitted with an isolation valve and vent (or vent
valve
Pressure
Tap For Vapor/Steam

For vapor or
steam service, the tapping point should be made to the side or upper
quadrant of the process line and fitted with a suitable process
isolation valve. The pressure transducer (transmitter) should be
positioned below the tapping point so that the impulse line will stay
filled with condensate in service. The distance below the impulse line
should be chosen to ensure that adequate cooling occurs to prevent
thermal damage to the transducer. For steam service the impulse line
must be filled with water prior to startup to prevent possible thermal
damage to the transducer by live steam. To ease service and
commissioning the transducer should be fitted with an isolation valve
and vent (or vent valve)

Pressure
Tap for Liquid
For liquids,
the tapping point should be made to the side or lower quadrant of the
process line and fitted with a suitable process isolation valve. If
sediments may be present, do not fit to the bottom of the process line.
The pressure transducer (transmitter) should be positioned below the
tapping point with its process connection upwards (if possible) to allow
any gasses that may form to vent back into the process. To ease service
and commissioning the transducer should be fitted with an isolation
valve and vent (or vent valve)
