(3) Vapor Flow Rate Measurement Piping
(i) Recommended piping example
A typical piping example is illustrated below. With this vapor flow rate measurement piping,  
the device is installed lower than the differential pressure output port.
Be sure to implement the following items.
•  Depending on the measured fluid, create an incline of at least 1/10 in the differential pressure 
output pipes so that drains will clear.
Meaning of incline symbol 
  in the diagram: 
Low position
   
High position
•  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.
•  If the process has a vertical pipe, installing the condensers different heights as shown in the 
diagram prevents zero drift in the differential pressure gauge, which otherwise would occur 
readily. Incidentally, in this case it is not possible to perform zero adjustment using the three-
way manifold valve.
