Condensate Pot

The primary use for condensate pots is to maximise the accuracy of differential pressure flow measurement on steam (or vapour) applications. They are used to ensure that the condensation of steam in the impulse lines does not impair the ability to accurately sense differential pressure fluctuations and to minimise gauge line error because of differences between pairs of impulse lines.

The theory of operation for condensate pots is that between the process tapping and the pot is steam vapour. Between the pot and the differential pressure transmitter is water (liquid) which eliminates any measurement errors due a liquid / vapour mix at the measurement device. In order for this to work correctly both high pressure (HP) and low pressure (LP) impulse lines should be of the same length. Thus, eliminating pressure head errors. One condensate pot will be required for each impulse line.

The condensate pots are available in a range of materials and have been designed in accordance with ASME SEC VIII Div. l and produced in an ASME coded workshop.

All condensate pots are CE”< marked to PED 2014/68/EU upon request. For use with Group 2 Gases.

Installation can be either vertical or horizontal lines between the primary (Flow Meter) and the secondary (transmitter/ gauge) to act as a barrier to the line fluid permitting direct sensing of the flow conditions. Units should be mounted at the same level minimising possible error that could arise due to unequal head of fluid in the connecting pressure lines. Please refer to our Condensate Pot Installation Guide for further details.

Typical industry applications include Refineries, Power plants, Chemical and Petrochemical, Steel plants and other process industries.
