Overview
The slug flow parameters control how the transmitter detects and reports two-phase flow
(gas in a liquid process or liquid in a gas process).

Set Slug Low Limit to the lowest density value that is considered normal in your
process.
Values below this will cause the transmitter to perform the configured slug flow
action. Typically, this value is the lowest density value in the normal range of your
process.
Tip
Gas entrainment can cause your process density to drop temporarily. To reduce the
occurrence of slug flow alarms that are not significant to your process, set Slug Low Limit
slightly below your expected lowest process density.
You must enter Slug Low Limit in g/cm
density measurement.
The default value for Slug Low Limit is 0.0 g/cm
Set Slug High Limit to the highest density value that is considered normal in your
process.
Values above this will cause the transmitter to perform the configured slug flow
action. Typically, this value is the highest density value in the normal range of your
process.
Tip
To reduce the occurrence of slug flow alarms that are not significant to your process, set Slug
High Limit slightly above your expected highest process density.
You must enter Slug High Limit in g/cm
density measurement.
