    The document discusses impulse piping standards for connecting field instruments to process outputs. It explains that impulse piping must accurately convey process pressures to transmitters to avoid measurement errors. The proper piping method depends on whether the process fluid is a liquid, gas, or steam. For differential pressure transmitters, liquids require placing the transmitter below taps, gases above taps, and steam needs a condensate pot and transmitter below taps to prevent vapor accumulation. The document also mentions impulse piping connections and differential pressure transmitters for open versus closed tanks.

    What is Impulse Piping?


    The impulse piping is the one which connects the process outputs to the transmitter.

    It must convey the process pressure accurately. If for example, the gas collects in a liquid-filled impulse line, or the drain of
    a gas-filled impulse line becomes plugged, it will not convey the pressure accurately. Since this will cause errors in
    measurement output, selecting the proper piping method for the process fluid (gas, liquid or steam) is very important. We
    discuss below some of the most common routing principles for impulse piping.

    Differential Pressure Transmitters
    In differential pressure transmitters, there is a chance that process fluid (liquid, gas or vapors) may accumulate inside the impulse piping that can cause
    inaccurate reading of pressures. There are three cases as depicted by the figure.
    1. Liquid

    If the process fluid is liquid, the transmitter should be placed lower than the taps.

    2. Gas

    If the process fluid is gas, the transmitter should be placed higher than the taps.

    3. Steam

    If the process fluid is steam, it has more chances to vaporize, so we should use condensate pot and the transmitter should
    be placed at lower level than the taps.
