Impulse Line Pressure Testing Procedure

 Learn the testing procedure for the field instruments impulse line, pipe, or tubing pressure leak test.

Test Pressure Equipment

  • Test gauge, Hydro manual pump, Hose
  • Guage used shall be calibrated +/- 1% accuracy and shall have valid calibrate stickers

Test Medium

  • Clean water
  • Air

Testing Pressure

  • The test pressure equipment shall be 1.5 times of the max. working pressure
  • Incase of pneumatic test, test pressure shall be 1.1 times

Checks To Be Carried Out Before Starting Pressure Test

  • Ensure that ferrules are correctly installed
  • Impulse lines shall be supported and slope maintained properly
  • Ensure that instrument connected is isolated
  • Barricade the area for hydro test access shall restrict to authorized persons only
  • Use all safety PPE’s ( Personal Protective Equipments)

Impulse Line Testing Procedure

  • After verifying the completeness of all above applicable records line shall be cleared for the pressure test
  • Avoid air pocket for mention vents at high points shall be left open and not closed until clean test medium flow from the outlet
  • If leaks are observed in the line, marks these leaks and de-pressurize the line
  • Before starting repairs, ensure that the lines shall be drained properly
  • If any repairs have been carried out, this line shall be re-pressurize tested, and documented

Post Testing Procedure

  • De-pressurization of the line shall be carried out in a controlled manner
  • Immediately release of pressure is not permitted
  • These lines are to be drained out and air flushed after testing

Final Checks to be Carried Out

  • All the tubes are to be properly cleaned by using compressed air
  • Check that all connections are done properly.

PLC Program for Mixing Tank

 Create a ladder diagram for controlling a batch mixing process. Implement a PLC program for mixing tank or Mixing Process using PLC Ladder Logic. PLC Program for Mixing Tank Fig : Mixing tank A tank is used to mix two liquids. The required control circuit operates as follows: A. When the START button is pressed, solenoids A and B energize. This permits the two liquids to begin filling the tank. B. When the tank is filled, the float switch trips. This de-energizes solenoids A and B and starts the motor used to mix the liquids together. C. The motor is permitted to run for 1 minute. After 1 minute has elapsed, the motor turns off and solenoid C energizes to drain the tank. D. When the tank is empty, the float switch de- energizes solenoid C. E. A STOP button can be used to stop the process at any point. F. If the motor becomes overloaded, the action of the entire circuit will stop. G. Once the circuit has been energized, it will continue to operate until it is manually stopped. Solution...

What is Relay? How it Works? Types, Applications, Testing

 We use relays for a wide range of applications such as home automation, cars and bikes (automobiles), industrial applications, DIY Projects, test and measurement equipment, and many more. But what is Relay? How a Relay Works? What are the Applications of Relays? Let us explore more about relays in this guide. What is a Relay? A Relay is a simple electromechanical switch. While we use normal switches to close or open a circuit manually, a Relay is also a switch that connects or disconnects two circuits. But instead of a manual operation, a relay uses an electrical signal to control an electromagnet, which in turn connects or disconnects another circuit. Relays can be of different types like electromechanical, solid state. Electromechanical relays are frequently used. Let us see the internal parts of this relay before knowing about it working. Although many different types of relay were present, their working is same. Every electromechanical relay consists of an consists of an Elect...

Chlorine dioxide Analyzer Principle

 Chlorine dioxide measurement Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is an instable, non-storable, toxic gas with a characteristic scent. The molecule consists of one chlorine atom and two oxygen atoms – represented in the chemical formula ClO2. It is very reactive. To avoid the risk of spontaneous explosions of gaseous chlorine dioxide or concentrated solutions, it is generally handled in dilution with low concentrations. ClO2 is soluble in water, but tends to evaporate quickly. Typically it is prepared on site, for example from hydrochloric acid and sodium chlorite. The procedure provides solutions with approx. 2 g/l ClO2 that can be safely handled and stored for several days. Image Credits : krohne Sensor Parts : Reference electrode Applied chlorine dioxide specific potential Current needed to maintain the constant potential Counter electrode Measuring electrode The disinfection effect of ClO2 is due to the transfer of oxygen instead of chlorine, so that no chlorinated byproducts are formed.
