Pipe Siphon Function and application

The Pipe Siphon have many industrial processes use in high pressure steam to operate in combustion systems, and as chemical reactants. Both application are important for measuring vapor pressure for end point use and generation (in the kettle). One of the problems in doing this is the relatively high steam temperature at the pressure common in industry, which can cause damage to the vapor of a sensing and element of the pressure instrument if connected directly

Pipe Siphon following technical functions :

  1. Used to reduce the damaging effects of rapid pressure, creating fluids
  2. Seals to prevent harmful gases from entering the house from the sewer system.
  3. Used to protect pressure sensor equipment from high temperature media, such as steam

How they work

The Pipe Siphon material tube or pipe loop and some time call a pigtail with goal of a simple but effective solution to the problem is to deliberately create a “low” point in the impulse line where condensed vapor (air) will accumulate and act as a barrier to the liquid to prevent hot steam. reach the pressure instrument. The siphon allows condensate to form and collect in the siphon also preventing the hot medium (hot steam, not just steam) from coming in direct contact with the pressure instrument. Also used as freeze protection when used with proper fillers. Also used as freeze protection when used with proper fillers.

The following photograph shows a pigtail siphon connected to a pressure gauge sensing pressure on a steam line:

( in Figure Pressure Instruments can be protected against high temperature and pulsating pressure )

Benefit

The main benefit of siphon tubes is that they are relatively inexpensive, so do not require any engineering to put into place or special tools to installed. They are easily relocate from one field to another as the require water level is reach.

Types of gauge siphon :

  • Coil Syphons : Vertical and Horizontal application
  • U-Type Syphons
  • Compact Gauge Syphons

Coil Syphons : The Syphon Coil is normally vertical and Horizontal installations.
