Refer to the drawing of a horizontal pipe elbow (top view) in an operating water system (see figure below).
Three separate bellows-type differential pressure flow detectors are connected to taps A, B, C, and D as follows:
Assuming zero head loss in this section of pipe, how will the detectors be affected if tap B experiences a significant leak?
(Assume water system pressure does not change.)
A. All detectors will fail low.
B. All detectors will fail high.
C. Only one detector will fail, and it will fail low.
D. Only one detector will fail, and it will fail high.
