Measurement Inspection Differential pressure

Flow is an important measurement whose calibration presents some challenges. When a flow measurement device is used in applications such as custody transfer, provision is made to pass a known flow through the meter. However, such a provision is costly and is not available for most in-process flowmeters. Without such a provision, a true cahbration of the flow element itself is not possible. For orifice meters, calibration of the flowmeter normally involves cahbration of the differential pressure transmitter, and the orifice plate is usually only inspected for deformation, abrasion, and so on. Similarly, cahbration of a magnetic flowmeter normally involves cahbration of the voltage measurement circuitry, which is analogous to calibration of the differential pressure transmitter for an orifice meter. 

The drier also includes instruments for measuring the temperature of material in a fluidized bed, the temperatures of incmoming and outgoing air in respective sections, a differential pressure. Also provided are inspection and cleaning holes and burst-proof membranes.
