    Plugged tapping points and impulse lines continue to be two of the greatest challenges within process instrumentation. While I have presented strategies on mitigating or detecting th e conditions, when a plug occurs the plug needs to be cleaned. When a Best Practice of compact primary elements is not practical and Advanced Diagnostics have identified frequently plugged tapping points, the Autorodder from Clearguard is…
