In the context of instrumentation and process control, a manifold refers to a device that provides a centralized location for connecting multiple instruments or devices to a common process line or system. It acts as a distribution point, allowing for the efficient and organized connection of various components.
​
A manifold typically consists of a block or body with multiple ports or channels. Each port serves as an inlet or outlet for connecting instruments, such as pressure gauges, transmitters, valves, or other devices. The manifold facilitates the routing of fluid or gas flow between the instruments and the process line.
The primary purpose of using a manifold is to simplify installation, reduce potential leak points, and streamline maintenance and calibration activities. By consolidating the connections into a single device, it becomes easier to monitor and control the process, minimizing the need for excessive piping or tubing.
​
Manifolds can be found in various industries, including oil and gas, chemical processing, power generation, and pharmaceuticals. They are available in different configurations, such as 2-way, 3-way, or 5-way, depending on the specific application requirements.
