    ISO Standards. All up and downstream weld-neck seam welds are honed to provide smooth entry & exit into and out of the cone meter measurement section. This honing procedure minimizes fluid jetting effects entering the meter throat/annulus that may occur at certain higher fluid Re numbers. www.tek-trol.com...

    A 3-way or 5-way valve manifold isolates the transmitter from the process lines (5-valve manifolds are recommended). They allow the operator to calibrate the transmitter without removing it from the impulse tubing, drain the transmitter and impulse tubing or vent it to atmosphere. (See Figure 5) www.tek-trol.com...
  • Page 12: Impulse Tubing Considerations

    • Tubing lengths must be short enough to ensure a high degree of accuracy, and long enough to ensure proper cooling of high-temperature fluids before they reach the transmitter. • Make sure the installation permits access to impulse tubes, valves, valve manifolds, and transmitters in case of maintenance and also emergency maintenance. www.tek-trol.com...
  • Page 13: Very High Temperature Applications

    Fastening process lines together is highly recommended to help keep process lines approximately at the same temperature. Providing temperature-controlled environmental conditions for the transmitter also helps to ensure accurate metering in locations where extreme temperature swings are likely (i.e., offshore platforms, desert installations or artic circle regions). www.tek-trol.com...
  • Page 14: Best Practices For Installing The Tek-Dpro Cone Meter

    For wet gas, taps should be located between the 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock positions to allow proper drainage of liquids present. • For steam, differential pressure taps should be located in the side of the pipeline. Illustrations of typical piping configurations for liquid, gas, and steam are provided in figure 6. www.tek-trol.com...

    • Taps at the bottom-dead-center may accumulate solids if they are present in the liquid and taps above the centerline will accumulate air or non-condensing gases. • The taps should be more than 60° to the horizontal plane in any case. www.tek-trol.com...
  • Page 29: Vertical Installations Liquids

    • The DP piping should be carried out horizontally for a short distance and then down to the transmitter and the transmitter should be below both taps. *Note: Wall taps must be used for dirty liquids. Standard taps should only be used on clean liquids. Fig 31: Vertical Installations for Liquids www.tek-trol.com...

    • The impulse lines are shut down horizontally to a “T” at a minimum distance of 18” for saturated and superheated steam to reduce the temperature to below the saturation temperature. • The “T” enables a plug to be installed at the top for the liquid filling to avoid overheating of the DP cell. www.tek-trol.com...
