(2) Liquid or Gas Flow Rate Measurement Piping
(i) Example of recommended piping for liquid flow rate measurement
A typical piping example in which the device is lower than the differential pressure output port on
the process pipe.
Be sure to implement the following items.
• Depending on the measured fluid, create an incline in the differential pressure output pipes so
that drains, vents, etc., will clear.
Meaning of incline symbol
in the diagram:
Low position
High position
• Install gas vent plugs at locations where gas in connecting pipes exits.
• After doing the piping work, confirm that there are no pressure leaks in the connecting pipes,
the three-way manifold valve, the transmitter, etc.
• For the purpose of connecting pipe maintenance, use T-joints to attach drain valves.
