4.5.3 General Piping Guidelines
• When measuring fluids that contain suspended solids, install permanent valves at regular
intervals to blow-down piping.
• Blow-down all lines on new installations with compressed air or steam, and flush them with
process fluids (where possible) before connecting these lines to the transmitter Meter body.
• Verify that the valves in the blow-down lines are closed tightly after the initial blow-down
procedure and each maintenance procedure thereafter.
