Configure the Instruments in Flow Control Loop
Suppose you are asked to configure the instruments in this flow control loop to sense and display process flow over a range of 0 to 180 gallons per minute (GPM),...
What is a Condensate Pot? How to Install it?
The main use of condensate pot is for maximizing the accuracy of differential pressure flow measurement on steam (or vapor) applications. They are used to ensure that the condensation of...
Flow Meter Questions and Answers
In this post, you can read the basic flow measurement questions and answers on flow meters which are useful for the viva, tests, interviews. Flow Meter Questions and Answers 1....
Why Viscosity is not included in the Orifice equation?
Has this question troubled you that viscosity is not included in the Orifice equation? Imagine Honey flowing through the pipe and on the contrary water flowing through the Pipe will...
What is Water Cut Meter?
A water cut meter measures the water content (cut) of crude oil and hydrocarbons as they flow through a pipeline. Water cut meters are typically used in the petroleum industry to measure...
What is Square Root Extractor?
The relationship between flow rate and differential pressure for any fluid-accelerating flow element is non-linear. When plotted on a graph, the relationship between flow rate (Q) and differential pressure (∆P)...
What is Differential Pressure and Pressure Loss?
When a flow (throttle) element is interposed in a closed passage of fluid in piping, a difference is produced between the pressure upstream and downstream of the throttle element as...
Square-Root in DCS or Flow Transmitter?
This is mostly known to everyone that a square root Function is required for Orifice Flow Transmitter as the relationship of flow versus pressure is not linear but has a square-root...
What are the Orifice Plate Flow Requirements?
The orifice flow meter is a well-established flow measurement method. The sizing, dimension, and installation requirement is dictated by the ISO 5167-1 & ISO 5167-2. Basically, the orifice sizing is...
