Micro Motion Meter Jackets Jacketed Micro Motion Meters The purpose of this bulletin isto help you better recognize ancl understand heated process applications that involve meters anc! 1o assist cur customers in selacting a meter Neating system thar meets their expectations for wouble-fwe performance. What is a heating jacket and what is it used for? Many chemical processes operate at elevated temperatures, Although most process lines are wed ngulated, the heat given up through the insulation can be substantial, Therefore a heating device, a Jacket, s needed to compensate for the heat loss. Sometimes the process must be maintained within a narrow temperature band as it travels a plant through piping, valves, pumps, tans, ancl our meters, ‘Acother mes the process may have wery Wide lem perature parameters or require only Treeze protection Energy, in the form of electrical resistance or a fluid heating medium (steam, wateriglysol, hat ail ‘vapor or hot ei quid) is supplied to the Jacke, which keeps the meter hot, whici keeps the process Het ControHeat jackets made by Controls Southeast, Inc.: Customers should Seriously considér using ContoHieat Jackets whenever + The processing tem porate envelop is tight (the minimum and marmum allowable process tempera. lures are close together). + When processes operate at a relatively low tempo ture (below 200°F) bx maintenance challenges because of their narrow Leriperature winds + When processing temperatures are above 200 F. + When melting aut capability & a primary concern (Msling outis requred when heating system goes down, for whatever reason, and process lines freeze up.
