Field Instruments Overview and Standards

Field instruments are used for monitoring and control in transmission systems. They measure process variables like pressure, level, differential pressure, flow, and temperature. Common field instruments include transmitters, positioners, converters, and communicators. Standards like API and ISA specify the installation and use of field instruments. Key factors in selecting instruments are the process variable measured, installation conditions, required accuracy and range. Mounting considerations include direct mounting versus remote, and accessories like sealing, purging, and impulse piping. Future field instruments may incorporate more digital and communication capabilities.

SELECTION AND PROCUREMENT CRITERIA


Flow Transmitters Used to measure Flow across Variable Head sensors like Orifice, Meter run, Venturi, Flow Nozzle, Anubar Level Transmitters More Suitable for Hydraulic Resonance (used to dampen) and Agitation Due to boiling (with seal) More Faster than Displacer Used in Bubbler level measurement Pressure Instrument Direct measurement

SELECTION AND PROCUREMENT CRITERIA


Temperature measurement
Head Mounted and Remote mounted Remote mounted is preferable in view of Amb Temp effect, Vibration, Accessibility, Grounding Cold Junction for T/C

Temperature Multiplexer Field Communicator For Configuration, Display process variable, Diagnostics Using FSK principle HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) I/P Converter
