7.11 Liquid Level Measurement with DP Transmitter with
Remote Seals
Procedure
The procedure in Table 45 outlines the steps for starting up a differential
pressure (DP) type transmitter with remote diaphragm seals in a liquid
level measurement application. Refer to Figure 48 for the piping
arrangement identification and Figure 38 for typical SFC and meter
connections.

ATTENTION
For the procedure in Table 45, we are assuming that the tank is empty
and the remote seal flanges are installed at their final positions. The
transmitter is a model STR93D or STR12D with a compound
characterized meter body. The DP transmitter has its high pressure (HP)
side connected to the tank’s lower flange and low pressure (LP) side
connected to the upper flange. (Note that connections would be reversed
for a model STR13D transmitter or a model STR12D transmitter
without a compound characterized meter body.)
