Calibration Procedure for Differential Pressure (DP) Flow Transmitter
Calibration of Control Valve
Calibration procedure DP transmitter
How to calibrate Differential pressure transmitter (capillary type)?
Requirement:-
Data sheet
Pressure calibrator
Multimeter (for mA)
Hart communicator
Procedure:-
1) Put the controller in manual mode for control loop.
2) Connect HART Communicator and check parameters like tag number, PV, LRV and URV.
3) Isolate the instrument from the process.
NOTE – If the process is hazardous, please unsure proper flushing is done to remove the entire hazard.
4) Open vent valve at drip ring and open plug at the top of the drip ring (if available) to release the process pressure
5) Clean the liquid inside the drip ring and put back the plug for high side only (if available).
6) Expose the low side to atmosphere.
7) Now, Connect a multimeter in series with the signal to the DCS to measure current signal.
8) In this condition both capillary flange will be atm pressure at difference high
9) Multimeter should show 4mA and PV at HART communicator should shows 0 (LRV)
10) If not, do zero adjustment at transmitter using HART Communicator
11) Connect pressure calibrator to high side flange (drip ring)
12) Apply pressure depend data sheet span (URV)
13) Multimeter should show 20mA and PV at HART communicator should shows same with URV
14) If not, do span adjustment at transmitter using HART Communicator
15) Verify the linearity by increasing and decreasing the pressure (0%,25%,50%,75%,100%,75%,50%,25% and 0%of range)
16) After completion of the job again put loops back in normal mode.
