(3) RemovingtheProcessConnectorPort

Theprocessconnectorportthreadsarecoveredwitha
plasticcaptoexcludedust.Thiscapmustberemoved
beforeconnectingthepiping.(Becarefulnottodamage

4.3.2 RoutingtheProcessPiping
(1) RelationshipbetweenProcessFluid
andManifoldLocations(Forthevertical
impulsepipingtype)
Ifcondensate(orgas)generatedintheprocesspiping
wereallowedtoaccumulate,thenitwouldbenecessary
toremoveitperiodicallybyopeningthedrain(or
vent)plug.However,thiswouldgenerateatransient
disturbanceinthepressuremeasurement.Therefore,the
processpipingmustberoutedsothatanycondensate(or
gas)generatedintheprocesspipingwillnotaccumulate
inthepressure-sensingassemblyofthetransmitter.
NOTE
• Iftheprocessuidisagas,thenasarulethe
manifoldmustbelocatedatthedownsideofthe
pressure-sensingassembly.
• Iftheprocessuidisaliquid,thenasarulethe
manifoldmustbelocatedattheupsideofthe
pressure-sensingassembly.
(2) PipeSizeforProcessPiping
Usea15mm(1/2-inch)pipeforprocesspiping
connectiontotheprocessconnector.
(3) PreventingFreezing
Ifthereisanyriskthattheprocessuidinthetransmitter
pressure-sensingassemblycouldfreezeorsolidify,use
asteamjacketorheatertomaintainthetemperatureof
theuid.
(4) ProcessPipingConnectionExamples
Figure4.10showsexamplesoftypicalprocesspiping
connections.Beforeconnectingthetransmittertothe
process,studythetransmitterinstallationlocation,the
processpipinglayout,andthecharacteristicsofthe
processuid(corrosiveness,toxicity,ammability,etc.),in
ordertomakeappropriatechangesandadditionstothe
connectioncongurations.
Notethefollowingpointswhenreferringtothesepiping
examples.
• Theprocesspipingmaterialusedmustbecompatible
withtheprocesspressure,temperature,andother
