| Selecting Primary Element
On the top most line of the screen below, select (Orifice) if your primary flow element is a thin-plate, Square-Edged Orifice. Then , select either Flange, Pipe, or Vena-contracta Taps on the next line. Otherwise, if your primary flow element is a Long-Radius Nozzle, select (Nozzle). Then, select either Throat or Pipe Taps on the next line. |

The Actual Tap Span (Bottom to Top) measurement is made by measuring from the bottom (inside pipe bottom) to the Bottom Tap to either the center of the Top Tap for an inline dam or the bottom (inside pipe bottom) of the Top Tap for an offset dam. Entering the Metered Levels The dimensions specified by the Metered Levels indicate the minimum, normal and maximum level readings on the differential pressure transmitter. Enter the lowest metered level (lower limit on the level indicator or recorder) as the Bottom Tap to Lowest Metered Level. Specify the measured pressure at normal water level as the Bottom Tap to Normal Metered Level. Enter the highest metered level (upper limit on the level indicator or recorder) as the Bottom Tap to Highest Metered Level.
Entering the Conditions of the Reference Leg of Water The Referenced Leg Water Temperature and Reference Leg Water Density identify the properties of the water condensed in the referenced leg of the transmitter impulse lines.
Entering the Condition of the Calibration Water The Calibration Water Temperature and Calibration Water Density identify the properties of the water standard used to calibrate the differential pressure transmitter. Enter the base reference to which the instrument used to calibrate the transmitter is calibrated (i.e. actual water column, Wallace & Tiernan, etc.). |
