Answer / trupti
Zero Suppression: suppose a DPT is mounted at the bottom of
the tank through an impulse pipeline,then even if the tank
is empty the impulse pipeline will have some water in it.
This water will exert pressure on the HP side of the DPT
and we will get some output even if the tank is empty.so
the output need to be supressed to the zero value
Zero Elevation:suppose a DPT is mounted at the bottom of
the closed tank and to the LP the impulse tube which is
connected is filled with a refrence liquid.Then the
pressure exerted on LP>HP.Hence the output will be
negative .So it has to be elevated to reach the zero level

Answer / arunav
for zero input value of any instrument if the reading is
more than zero we need to reduce this to zero this is ZERO
SUPPRESSION
for zero input value of any instrument if the reading is
less than zero we need to increase this to zero this is
ZERO ELEVATION

zero suppression: when a dp type level transmitter is
installed below the hp tapping then we have to measure the
distance between the hp tapping and the transmitter and we
have to consider this distance as zero of the transmitter
while we are doing the calibration. and also add to the
actual span also.
zero elevation: if the transmitter is installed above the hp
tapping, we have to take this distance between the tapping
and the transmitter and we have to subtract from the actual
zero and also from the actual span while doing the calibration.

Answer / k.arutprakasam
ZERO ELEVATION:
For an elevated zero range, the amount the
measured variable zero is above the lower range values.
ZERO SUPPRESSION:
For a suppressed zero range,the amount the
measured variable zero is below the lower range values.

Answer / ravi
suppose if DPT is placed below the datum line of the tank.
It will show negative reading. to make the DPT to show 4ma,
we have to do dero elevation, the elevation of value from
negative to 4 ma to be done, so it is called as zero
elevation. in other way DPT is fixed above the datum line,
the value has to suppressed to 4 ma from higher value and
this is called as zero supperssion. its simple to understand

Answer / tyrkrv83
Zero Elevation:
An elevated zero is needed for a gage or absolute transmitter mounted above the high side tap ( The Bottom Process connection ) or for a two seal differential pressure application.In these causes ,the transmitter reads a negative pressure . When the tank is empty due to the head pressure effectof the capillary fill fluid
Zero Elevation
A Suppressed zero is needed when a gage or absolute pressure transmitter is mounted below the high side up tap ( the bottom process connection).When the transmitter is mounted the high side tap,the fill fluid in the capillary puts pressure on the transmitter sensor causing it to give a positive pressure reading even when the tank is empty.

Answer / anu
It deals with Diffierentail type of gage.
Suppose the mouting of tx is such that the low pressure leg
of tx get accumulated with process fluid/gas. So in that
case even when the actual process flow /level ect is zero,
the tx will show a -ve reading because of the presence of
accumulation in the LP leg of tx. To over come, we need to
set that reading as ZERO reading for that TX. That means we
had had elevated the zero.
Zero supression is to decrese the reading of Tx to zero
when it is showing a higher reading than normal. This is
result of accumulation of process fluid in High pressure
leg of tx.

Answer / cnap
When talking about where an instrument is mounted: Elevated is when instrument in relation to bottom of tank is higher, suppressed is when instrument is lower... Used to set your URV and LRV)in relation to instrument(I call it setting the range)... Once this is done, if your actual outputs are above expected outputs and parallel throughout, this is suppressed zero... Thus, if actual outputs are less than expected outputs and parallel throughout five point check, this is elevated zero... It's either elevated or suppressed based on if expected is above or below actual...

Answer / nagendra babu
Zero suppression is the removal of redundant zeroes from a number.
Examples:
00049823 → 49823
7.678600000 → 7.6786
0032.3231000 → 32.3231
2.45000×1010 → 2.45×1010
