    The document discusses plugged impulse lines in pressure measurement applications. It explains that impulse lines are used to transmit pressure signals from a process to a pressure transmitter but can become plugged, blocking the pressure signal without the user knowing. The document introduces that Rosemount 3051S pressure transmitters use statistical processing technology to detect when impulse lines become plugged. It provides a figure showing the basics of a plugged impulse line situation.

    Plugged Impulse Line Detection


    Using Statistical Processing Technology
    1.0 Introduction
    Pressure transmitters are used in pressure, level, and flow measurement applications.
    Regardless of application, the transmitter is rarely connected directly to the pipe or vessel.
    Small diameter tubes or pipes commonly called impulse lines are used to transmit the pressure
    signal from the process to the transmitter. In some applications, these impulse lines can
    become plugged with solids or frozen fluid in cold environments, effectively blocking the
    pressure signals (Figure 1). One survey in Europe estimated that 60 percent of heat trace
    systems are not working properly.1 The user typically does not know that the blockage has
    occurred. Because the pressure at the time of the plug is trapped, the transmitter may continue
    to provide the same signal as before the plug. Only after the actual process changes and the
    pressure transmitter’s output remains the same may someone recognize that plugging has
    occurred. This is a typical problem for pressure measurement, and users recognize the need for
    a plugged impulse line diagnostic for this condition.
