5. Commissioning, operation
Pressure tapping point
The pressure tapping point should be arranged with as large a bore as possible (≥ 6 mm)
via a shut-off device, so that the pressure tap is not distorted by a flow in the medium. The
measuring line between the pressure tapping points and the instrument should have a large
enough internal diameter to prevent blockage and lag in the pressure transmission.
Measuring line
The measuring lines must be as short as possible and should be arranged without sharp
radii in order to avoid any disruptive time lags. When routing these lines, a steady inclination
of approx. 1:15 is recommended.
The measuring line should be designed and installed so that the loads occurring due to
expansion, vibration and thermal effects can be absorbed. With gaseous media, a drain
should be provided at the lowest point; with liquid media, a vent should be provided at the
highest point.
The measuring instruments must be mounted in the common mounting position per
EN 837-1, with a max. permissible incline of 5° on all sides.
