When we purchase transmitters, we are often asked by sellers if we need to include a valve group. How will we choose the valve group at this time? Next, let me solve the method of selecting valve groups for the 3051 transmitter one by one.<\/h4><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Now start the complete selection process (universal logic, 0304\/0305\/0306 universal)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Determine the transmitter model and lock the valve group category (most importantly)<\/strong>
Differential pressure DP\/CD\/DG new project \u2192 0305
Differential pressure DP\/CD\/DG old renovation, replacement 1151 \u2192 0304
Single point direct installation TG\/TA pressure measurement \u2192 0306
Step 2: Determine the number of valves (2\/3\/5 valves)<\/strong>
Valve 2: Single point gauge pressure only (GP common plane, TG direct connection), isolation+exhaust
3 valves: differential pressure flow\/liquid level universal (2 isolation+1 balance, protective diaphragm)
5 valves: Oil and gas metering, dual exhaust+dual isolation+balance, anti blocking large aperture NG soft valve seat
Step 3: Material selection (differentiation of corrosive media)<\/strong>
Ordinary water, oil, steam: 316\/316L (code 2)
Chloride containing ions, weakly acidic seawater: C276 Hastelloy (code C)
Hydrofluoric acid, seawater, mercury containing medium: 400 Monel (code M)
Sulfuric acid containing oil and gas: Add NACE MR0175 certification option
Step 4: Seal the packing (by temperature)<\/strong>
\u2264 232 \u2103 room temperature: PTFE PTFE packing (code 1), smooth and easy to operate
232~538 \u2103 high temperature steam\/thermal oil: graphite packing (code 2)
Note: 0304 has a maximum temperature resistance of 538 \u2103, while 0305\/0306 has a maximum temperature resistance of 399 \u2103
Step 5: Other Additional Options<\/strong>
Bracket: B3 carbon steel, B4 316 stainless steel (B4 is selected for outdoor corrosive environments)
NG: 5 valve group for natural gas, large hole anti blocking, soft seat
Cleaning: Special Oxygen\/Clean Media Cleaning Options
Warranty: WR3\/WR5 3\/5-year extended warranty<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Remember that every time we select a model, we need to confirm the model with the user before providing a quotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
