Which instruments need to be purged
Thread Content
Hello, everyone! I have a relatively simple question: which instruments need to be purged? Last edited by naska on 2008-3-2 23:34 in this post.]
Is it instrument purging or instrument pipeline purging? Strictly speaking, after the installation work is completed, all instrument pipelines need to be purged, such as those for flow meters and instrument valves. (Regulating valves, pneumatic shut-off valves, etc.)
Transmitters, flame detectors, control valves for some special process sections; please add more if there are any others.
All instrument pipelines that may contain impurities need to be purged in order to prevent blockages; this is for reference only!:lol
All process pipelines must have their instrumentation removed and then be purged thoroughly. Of course, those pipe sections where materials need to pass through instruments must be thoroughly purged, especially those equipped with control valves and metal rotameters. Mass flow meters for bent pipes, etc.
After the project is completed and after major or minor overhauls of the unit, all instrument pipelines must be purged. All air pressure pipelines must be regularly purged during the unit’s operation.
