    I am working on Ver 7 of SP Intools. This is the first time the program is used and was installed in late Feburary. We have entered all the instruments, spec sheets, loaded JB with Device panels and cables. Connected the 24 pr from field JB to control room Marshalling panel. The next step is...

    Orifice Flange Tap Location For Steam Measurement

    My first introduction to steam flow measurement was in 1975, at this time all the meters I came accross had the orifice taps located on the side. The root valves were installed horizontally and the transmitter tubing sloped down to the transmitter. Installations in some older units used...

    Steam Flow Measurement

    I had run into an installation a few years ago that had a number of insertion turbine meters installed on their steam system. I thought this was odd because of the moving parts of the turbine and the temperature of the steam. They didn't have any maintenance records so I am not sure how much...

    Using Fuses inside Hazardus area

    I had this concern a few years ago on some transmitters I was powering from a junction box. I moved the junction box about 20ft to get it outside the Class I, Div 2 area. I realize this probably isn't a solution for you. Another time I installed the Z-purge option, of course this requires an...

We evolved int three wires, one for ground, because if the hot wire shorted to the solenoid case, it would make the case hot. If the case was not grounded anyone touching...

    DP Xmtrs on Towers

    I have run into this problem many times. Usually it works when first installed then after a few hours or days the vapors start condensing. If you hold your finger over the end of straw and pull it out of a glass of water, the water stays in the straw. This could be what is happening in your...

    Double-Block Valves and Double Block and Bleed Valve

    First, I have enjoyed reading all the answers. I am involved in Instrumentation and Interlock systems. My experience with double block and bleed valves has been on the fuel gas line on boilers, furnaces, and incinerators. When the boiler shuts down or trips the two block valves close and the...
