When a ``K`` type process tube is operated without a slug column, damage may take place in the connector because of the cavitation that originates in the venturi. Reported here is a study of this cavitation problem as related to CG-654 operating conditions. A series of curves were developed to present the effect of the venturi diameter on the venturi {Delta}P for instrument operation and on the cavitation problem at the higher flows which are experienced when the tube is operated without a slug column.
