12.6.2 Suggestions for Transmitter Location

The following are suggested connections based on what is being processed by the system.
Table 33 – ST 700 Basic Transmitter - Suggested Connection
Process
Suggested Location
Gases
Above the gas line.
Liquids
Below but near the elevation of
the process connection.
Level with or above the process
connection.
1. For liquid or steam, the piping should slope a minimum of 25.4mm (1 inch) per 305mm (1 foot).
2. Slope the piping down toward the transmitter if it is below the process connection to allow the
bubbles to rise back into the piping through the liquid.
3. If the transmitter is located above the process connection, the piping should rise vertically
above the transmitter. In this case, slope down toward the flow line with a vent valve at the
high point.
4. For gas measurement, use a condensate leg and drain at the low point (freeze protection may
be required here).
ATTENTION Care must be taken when installing transmitters on hot processes.
The operating temperature limits for the device (as outlined in Table 5) must not be
exceeded. Impulse piping may be used to reduce the temperature of the process that comes
into contact with the transmitter meter body. As a general rule there is a 56  C drop (100  F)
in the temperature of the process for every foot of ½ inch uninsulated piping.
Revision 12
Locations
The condensate drains away from the transmitter.
This minimizes that static head effect of the
condensate.
This requires a siphon to protect the transmitter from
process steam. The siphon retains water as a fill fluid.
