Slug flow detection and reporting
Slug flow is typically used as an indicator of two-phase flow (gas in a liquid process or liquid
in a gas process). Two-phase flow can cause a variety of process control issues. By
configuring the slug flow parameters appropriately for your application, you can detect
process conditions that require correction.
Tip
To decrease the occurrence of slug flow alarms, lower Slug Low Limit or raise Slug High Limit.
A slug flow condition occurs whenever the measured density goes below Slug Low Limit or
above Slug High Limit. If this occurs:
•
•
If the slug flow condition clears before Slug Duration expires:
•
•
If the slug flow condition does not clear before Slug Duration expires, the outputs that
represent flow rate report a flow rate of 0.
If Slug Duration is set to 0.0 seconds, the outputs that represent flow rate will report a flow
rate of 0 as soon as slug flow is detected.

The default value for Slug High Limit is 5.0 g/cm
Set Slug Duration to the number of seconds that the transmitter will wait for a slug
flow condition to clear before performing the configured slug flow action.
The default value for Slug Duration is 0.0 seconds. The range is 0.0 to 60.0 seconds.
A slug flow alarm is posted to the active alarm log.
All outputs that are configured to represent flow rate hold their last "pre-slug flow"
value for the configured Slug Duration.
Outputs that represent flow rate revert to reporting actual flow.
The slug flow alarm is deactivated, but remains in the active alarm log until it is
acknowledged.
