- MF
Specification | Objective |
---|---|
Install gauges: so they can be easily read (e.g., not facing the wall, or so high a ladder or stool is needed to access) so they are not adversely affected by other equipment through heat conduction Install surface-mount thermometers so that thermocouple for digital gauges is tight to the pipe and wrapped with insulation to exclude ambient temperature Install wet-mount thermometers so they are not in an air pocket (e.g., install on side of pipe, not on top of side-plumbed tanks) Install pressure gauges so they are not adversely affected by turbulent flow and vibration |
Easily accessible gauges that provide accurate measurements |
