DPU Below Tank with Reference Leg: Hot or Cool Liquids
The use of a reference leg cancels out the "dead leg" (piping from the tank
bottom to center line of meter body). Seal fluid in the reference leg must not
volatilize. Process media can be used as a reference leg seal fluid if it will
condense in the reference leg under all conditions. Otherwise, special, immis
-
cible seal fluid must be used. Differences in densities of process media and
seal fluid must be considered when computing the differential pressure range
of a DPU.
1.
Partially fill the reference leg by opening the bottom block valve, both
shutoff valves, and the bypass valve.
2. Crack the drain valves on the DPU housing and vent the DPU. Close
when clear, bubble-free liquid flows.
3. Close the bypass and shutoff valve on the reference leg.
4. Remove the plug from the top port in the 2-inch pipe cross connection,
and fill the reference leg manually.
5.
Open the reference leg shutoff valve and crack the vent valve until
bubbles are expelled. Leave the reference leg full.
6. Replace the plug in the pipe cross and close the vent valve.
7. Slowly open the upper block valve.
