	Most conventional instruments are installed either inside a vessel or in a bridle.Due to the maintenance issues, i.e. a vessel would need to be isolated to access an internal instrument, generally instruments are installed in a bridle. Bridles are designed to duplicate conditions inside the vessel, but this is virtually impossible – there are usually only two tapping points, therefore fluids only at the density of the tapping points can enter the bridle and the temperature of the bridle is unlikely to be the same as the vessel. __________________ I am not a home work cheater.

	wingman1985 Just a few comments to clarify the use of a "Bridle". a) A "Bridle" is only intended to be used for Level instruments. Therefore the conditions inside the vessel are duplicated in the Bridle. b) Sometimes a PI (Pressure Indicater) connection might be connected to the upper part of a Bridle. This again would also duplicate the conditions inside the vessel. c) A Temperature is NOT normally not (and should not be) connected to a Bridle because, as you point out the temperature conditions may not be the same. __________________ Do it once and do it right

	As one who often deals in antique words (such as "proney brake"), a bridle is used to steer a horse. Yes, your spell check doesn't know about proney either! __________________ Lehman57
