The case of the Differential Pressure measurement in a flow application with a
single line plugged is more complicated, and the behavior of the transmitter
may vary depending on a number of factors. First the basics: a differential
pressure transmitter in a flow application is equipped with two impulse lines,
one on the high pressure side (HP) and one on the low pressure side (LP) of
the primary element. Understanding the results of a single plugged line
requires understanding of what happens to the individual pressure signals on
the HP and LP sides of the primary element. Common mode noise is
generated by the primary element and the pumping system as depicted in
Figure 6-17. When both lines are open, the differential pressure sensor
subtracts the LP from the HP. When one of the lines are plugged (either LP or
HP), the common mode cancellation no longer occurs. Therefore there is an
increase in the noise of the DP signal. See Figure 6-18.
