DOES IT MATTER IF A PRESSURE TRANSMITTER IS LOCATED ABOVE OR BELOW A STEAM LINE OF WHICH IT IS MONITORING?

PRESSURE TRANSMITTER LOCATION

RE: PRESSURE TRANSMITTER LOCATION
I always specify steam pressure transmitters at the TOP of a line (or always in the pure vapor steam space) and always with a PIGTAIL nozzle, in order to trap out condensate in a seal and keep it away from the sensing diaphragm. I would never install a steam pressure tap at the bottom of a steam line.
I'm interested in learning how others do it.

If this is a new installation, fill the siphon with water initially.

What pressure steam, superheated or saturated, etc. If the transmitter were below the tap it would be affected by the head of the liquid. The accuracy would be little affected in 600 psi steam and more severe in 30 pound steam.
