    SECTION 1 - INTRODUCTION 1-1. General The Barton ® Model 199 Differential Pressure Unit (DPU) (see Figure 1 -1) is a mechanical device which accurately measures differential pressure relative to a gas or liquid flowing through a process system, or to the level of a liquid con­ tained in a process vessel.

    SECTION 3 - INSTALLATION/OPERATION 3-1. Unpacking The 199 DPU should be inspected at time of unpacking to detect any damage that may have occurred during shipment. NOTICE: The instrument was checked for accuracy at the factory — do not change any of the settings during examination or accuracy will be affected. NOTICE: For application in critical media, requiring special cleaning pro- cesses and precautions, a polyethylene bag is used to protect the instrument from contamination.
  • Page 10 3-3. Piping — Standard Practices (Cont.) Rotate the housing as necessary to place the connection in the proper position. The DPU has connections in the pressure housings to accom- modate various pipe sizes (refer to Section 6- Drawings). Install a valve manifold connecting the DPU and the source of differen- tial pressure to facilitate operation and checking of the DPU.
  • Page 11 3-4. General Startup Practice Considerations (Cont.) Perform a zero check on the instrument as follows (Cont.) If necessary, adjust the pen or pointer by turning the zero adjust on the instrument. Check the manifold and piping for leaks as follows. Open the bypass valve(s), then open one shutoff valve to pressurize the instrument.

  • Page 18: Calibration Setup

    All NuFlo instruments using 199 DPU as actuator are calibrated at the factory. All Barton instruments using 199 DPU as actuator are calibrated at the factory. All DPUs sold as replacement units or as actuators for other applications are All DPUs sold as replacement units or as actuators for other applications are checked for accuracy prior to shipment.

  • Page 19: Range Change

    4-5. Range Change Changing the range of the Model 199 DPU requires replacing the bellows unit assembly with a unit of the desired range (see para. 4-7 Bellows Unit Assembly (BUA) Replacement). WARNING (High-pressure Gas Installations with pressures greater than 200 psig) HIGH-PRESSURE GAS HAZARD ON DISASSEMBLY OF THE DPU.
