why the steam drum and deaerator level transmitter range is
in negative MMWC to zero
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Range is Negative mmWC to Zero because we are using "Wet leg configuration" arrangement. In which LP side of transmitter is contains a Condesate Pot always filled-in with water.
Wet leg configuration is used when the tanks contain CONDENSABLE VAPOURS, these vapours when entered impulse lines may be condensed over time and get accumulated. This accumulated liquids in impulse line creates Pressure head resulting error in level measurement. to avoid this suituation we initially fill LP side impulse line with water ( or a condensate pot is used to condense vapour and fill impulse line automatically).

Answer / mithilesh kumar
actually wht happen there..
level is totally depend upon vessel/drum/tank type..
means that it is open or close..
if it's open then range is in positve..
but if it's fully closed then range is start with negative..
by using level formula..
u can mail me if this formula or step is required..

In both cases you are using a wet leg configuration with the
DPT. In the steam drum if you use the old fashion way by
changing the HP and LP legs around you will get a positive
mmH2O reading. If you use a piped SMART Tx or a SMART
capillary type DPT, you will get this negative mmH2O readings.
I have already done a writeup on this so go and look at
previous questions.
In the deaerator there is a vacuum but again the same wet
leg is done. I have already done a writeup on this vacuum
applications as well so go and look at previous questions.
Good luck

Name four general (not technical) criteria that would you consider important, when deciding upon a particular control valve?
why use on -off control valve in glove valve
capillary type tranmitter using remote seals and capillary tubes filled with liquid of known of known density so if you wanna callibrate it just close block valve just before capilary @ high side & connect druck apply it's calibrated range pressure as normal calibration ensure low side block valve must be closed & if you asking commissioning so this is not a DP type pressure tx so simple if you wanna put in servie this tx just open high side block valve & than low side block same way i do it but still transmitter showing -13 ma.just tell me what i want to do ?
