【Q&A Question 227】August 15, 2017: What should be done with rotameters during pipeline purging due to shutdown? The reference answers will be visible after responding; points are awarded by identifying the key points. (Unless otherwise specified, all questions and answers are based on hydrogenation units.) ) First, the purge lines at the upstream and downstream of the flow meter should be closed; the metering team should be notified to remove the flow meter before the valves on its upstream and downstream sides are opened to allow steam to pass through. The daily activity shuts down after 7 days, and the answers are displayed automatically. Scoring criteria: 2 Wealth points for incorrect responses; *incomplete* answers earn 3–8 points. 10 Wealth points for correct answers, provided along with a detailed explanation; responses that are correct but lack sufficient details earn 15–20 Wealth points. Please score according to these criteria. Note: If there are editing records after answering, only those who participated will be credited points. For continuous malicious spamming, 2 points will be deducted each time, with no upper limit. Pure numbers, pure emojis, or random letters that have nothing to do with the answer are all considered malicious spamming; points will start to be deducted after three warnings. 2017 Q&A Summary Thread (updates have begun) http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1657793-1-1.html 2017 Daily Question Summary Thread (updates have begun) http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1657794-1-1.html 2016 Q&A Summary Thread (updates completed) http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1597792-1-1.html Petrochemical Zone – “Creative Ideas for Energy Saving” campaign (the second phase is in full swing) http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1666758-1-1.html (Source: Haichuan Chemical Industry Forum)
First, close the manual valves upstream and downstream of the flow meter to purge the bypass line; then notify the metering team to remove the flow meter before opening the valves upstream and downstream to allow steam to pass through.

Dismantle, connect to waste streams, and proceed with double-line purging!
Remove the rotameter, store it properly, and then install a bypass. After the purging is complete, reinstall the meter
