Process Measurement Accuracy Depends On Quality Of Line Components
Oct. 25, 2019
Swagelok details process instrumentation line best practices.
While engineers focus much of their attention on the transmitter, proper measurement accuracy depends on the quality of the process instrumentation line components, according to a recent article from Swagelok. By implementing specific best practices, engineers and technicians can manage the success of their process impulse lines.
Proper material selection is critical to the accuracy of measurement, according to Swagelok, which notes that scaling and corrosion can occur can negatively impact carbon steel. Standardization of design simplifies maintenance, installation, training and diagnostics, increases reliability and reduces overhead costs. The article also reviews the process instrumentation line in detail and provides recommendations regarding the process interface valve, impulse lines, manifold and close couple manifold.
Many facilities handle dangerous processes and products on a daily basis. Keeping everything under control demands well-trained people working with the best equipment.
