Wht is Dry Leg Calibration and Wet Leg Calibration?

Answer Posted / spencer

Dry leg is where the low pressure side is vented to ATM.,
and the vessel is open to ATM. Wet leg is where the vessel
is closed and the low side is connectd to the top bridle.
With each type the "legs" wil be filled with an inert fluid
with a higher density then the fluid in th evessel all has
to be taken into consideration when calibrating
instruments. I can normally hit a percent error of 1
%. Hope this helped the guy has no idea what he is talking
about.
