Distribution lines, or “mains” are sections of pipe that function at different pressures with regulators (some of which are operated remotely) controlling the pressure. The gas utility’s main control center continuously monitors flow rates to ensure that gas reaches each customer with sufficient flow rate and pressure. They also ensure that pressures stay below the maximum for each segment.
As pressure is an important part of the distribution system, AMETEK STCs
pressure gauges,
pressure calibrators, and
pressure recorders are key to maintaining high quality systems. They can be used to measure the pressure in the pipe, used to calculate flow.
The
nVision reference recorder and the
XP2i digital pressure gauge not only measure pressure, but they can also create a digital record of the tests. The nVision and the
HPC50 pressure calibrator also have the ability to safely measure differential pressure with their special DP tared mode. The XP2i has a PSV test mode, which has been specifically designed to test pressure safety valves.
