    Desuperheater's Flow meter relation with P/T compensation

    Dear Sir As we know, steam flow measurements, being compressible, always require both pressure and temperature compensation. But, I am confused why a steam flow meter/indincator are installed. (Please see the desuperheater with 3 control loop drawing in the attached post) Is this steam flow...

    Low Level interlock trigger pump pushbutton to shutdown the motor

    Dear Sir I wonder how to show the right way that the software signal from interlock to shutdwon the motor. Please see the attached drawing. case 1 : As liquid level's low low, the singal will interlock through the pushbutton to stop the motor, and the pushbutton only be activated as interlock...

    Control / alarm set point for desuperheater

    Dear Sir I am sorry to bother you this simple control / alarm set point question. Case 2 is a simple direct temperature control through a temperature sensor located downstream and send a siganl to the valve controller to increase or decrease the water supply. Case 1 is a complex temperatrue...

    Acetic acid inelt flow low alarm necessary

    I am sorry to bother this silly and trivial. Does it is necessary that process engineer provdie low flow alarm/setpoint for this mass flow meter considering the following process, "the acetic acid flow into the reactor"? Also, a client requires the readout on the DCS, process engineer...

    Overflow tank control question

    Dear fourm members: I have an overflow tank. There is a overflow pipe connected on top of the tank, and through gravity flow to a seal pot. The service water will flow through a solenoid valve(XV-A) with level control(LIT-B) to the seal pot. It is confused me that the interlock in this...

    spectacle blind close/open selection

    Dear professional I notice that almost line drain in P&ID (operating / non-operation drain) always has isolation valves or isolation valve before spectacle blinds (usually closed) at these drain line from equipmennts or process main lines. Howver, in hazardous service, such as hydrogen...
