Application

 

1. Pressure Measurement of High-Temperature Steam or Hot Gases (Most Common)

Application Scenario: On steam pipelines in power plants, chemical plants, and heating systems.

 

Working Principle and Value:

Cooling and Liquid Seal: High-temperature steam enters the condensate pot and naturally cools, condensing into ambient-temperature water that fills the pot.

Pressure Transmission: The static water column transmits the pipeline pressure equally but isolates the high temperature.

Instrument Protection: Pressure gauges or transmitters come into contact with room temperature liquid instead of steam >100°C, thereby preventing damage from high temperatures, extending their service life, and ensuring stable readings.

 

2. Isolation and Sampling of Corrosive or Contaminated Media

Application Scenario: In industries such as petroleum, chemical, and natural gas, where the medium may be corrosive, prone to crystallization, or contain particulate matter.

 

Working Principle and Value:

Settling and Isolation: The flow velocity of the medium decreases within the pot, allowing some impurities to settle. For gases, condensation creates a liquid seal.

Clean Contact: Instruments only contact the relatively clean condensate or the upper layer of the medium, preventing corrosion, clogging, or contamination of the sensing elements.

Safe Sampling: Condensate samples can be safely obtained for analysis through additional ports on the pot (e.g., configurations 3A, 4A), avoiding direct handling of hazardous media.

 

How to Choose:

1. Medium and Temperature: Is the medium steam, gas, or liquid? What is the temperature?
2. Pipe Pressure: Determine the required pressure rating (Class 300, 600, 900…).
3. Instrument Type: Is it a single pressure gauge, or a differential pressure transmitter (requires a 3A configuration)?
4. Material Requirements: Select based on the corrosiveness of the medium (e.g., 304 SS is commonly used for steam, 316L SS for chemical environments).
5. Connection Size: Must match the interfaces of the field piping and instruments (e.g., NPT 1/2″).
6. Or manufacture according the drawing
