what is dry leg and what is wet leg?

Answer Posted / sabry

If the impulse line connected to the low side of the differential pressure instrument is filled with a suitable fluid, it's called (wet leg).

If the impulse line is empty, it's called (dry leg).

Dry leg & Wet leg is a technique used in differential pressure measuremnt for 2 main reasons:

1 - We use (wet leg) to prevent the dangerous fluid from harming the sensitive instrument.

2 - In closed tank application, we use (wet leg) to prevent vapour condenstion due to temperature variation, so we get a stable/accurate measurement.

Good Luck
