A condensate pot is a cylindrical pressure vessel used in instrumentation systems—especially in steam or vapor service—to collect and manage condensed liquid (condensate) from impulse lines. Its primary role is to ensure measurement accuracy and protect instruments like differential pressure (DP) transmitters.

• To trap condensate from the impulse line before it reaches the pressure transmitter.

• To maintain a constant liquid column in both high-pressure (HP) and low-pressure (LP) sides for accurate differential pressure measurement.

• To prevent steam or vapor from entering and damaging sensitive measurement instruments.

• To equalize pressure head in both legs of impulse lines in vertical installations.

1. In a steam application, steam enters the impulse line.

2. It cools down and condenses inside the line.

3. The condensate pot collects this liquid to prevent accumulation in the transmitter.

4. Ensures a stable and equal level of condensate on both sides of a DP transmitter.

5. Reduces fluctuations, errors, and protects instrumentation from high temperatures.

• Material: Carbon steel, Stainless steel, or alloy steels (based on process compatibility).

• Design: Cylindrical vessel with multiple connection nozzles (usually 2–4 ports).

• Pressure rating: Often ANSI 150 to 600 class.

• Installation: Vertically between the impulse line and transmitter, usually with drain valves.

• Steam flow measurement using orifice plates or DP flowmeters.

• Boiler pressure monitoring.

• Turbine monitoring systems.

• Any high-temperature vapor system requiring DP measurement.
