How to Install Pressure Transmitters –Best Installation Practices
Installing a pressure transmitter or a differential pressure transmitter is suppose to be a simple process but can become a problem if certain best practices are not imbibed. One critical aspect of transmitter installation is the impulse piping between the process and the transmitter.
The piping between the process and the transmitter must accurately transfer the pressure to obtain accurate process measurements otherwise measurement error will occur and compromise the process. There are five possible sources of error in any given pressure transmitter installation. They are:
(a) Pressure transfer leaks
(b) Friction loss
(c) Trapped gas in a liquid line
(d) Liquid in a gas line
(e) Density variations between high pressure and low pressure impulse lines
