Pressure Transmitter

In the field of industrial measurement, integrating pressure sensors with level transmitters is a fundamental technique for accurately measuring fluid levels. This integration leverages the principle that liquid static pressure is proportional to the liquid height, converting pressure signals into remote, precise level data. The process can be broken down into three core steps: signal […]

Selecting the right diaphragm for a pressure transmitter is crucial, as it directly affects the accuracy, stability, longevity, and overall reliability of the measurement. In industries like chemicals and pharmaceuticals, where corrosive environments are common, diaphragm selection is even more critical for both safety and cost control. Choosing the right diaphragm material and type can

When choosing the range for a differential pressure (DP) transmitter, it’s essential to consider both process conditions and the transmitter’s technical specifications. Below is a detailed guide outlining the key steps and considerations for selecting an appropriate DP transmitter range. 1. Determine the Measurement Range Identify the Maximum Range of Pressure Variation: Start by evaluating

No Output from the Transmitter Inspection & Testing (check power polarity, 24VDC supply, display head, loop continuity). Solutions (correct wiring, ensure ≥12V supply, replace faulty display, check loop impedance ≤250Ω). 3. Transmitter Output ≥20 mA Inspection &

Differential pressure (DP) transmitters are commonly used for flow measurement in various industrial applications. The principle is rooted in Bernoulli’s equation and the relationship between pressure differentials and flow rates in fluid dynamics. Here, we’ll explore the detailed workings of DP transmitters, the types of primary devices involved, and practical considerations for their use. Principle

1. Introduction In pressure and differential pressure transmitters such as the 1151 series, the measuring diaphragm is made of a flat metal sheet. At first glance, the pressure–displacement relationship of a flat diaphragm should be non-linear. However, under specific design and installation conditions, the diaphragm behaves in a nearly linear manner, which is essential for

Abstract The differential pressure (DP) transmitter for boiler drum level measurement is a critical instrument for ensuring safe and stable boiler operation. Deviations between actual water level and transmitter readings may lead to serious risks such as boiler dry-out, overfilling, or even turbine water hammer.This document summarizes five major categories of deviation causes, provides a

1. Introduction Pressure transmitters are widely used in process industries to convert pressure signals of gases or liquids into standardized electronic signals (typically 4–20 mA DC). These signals are then transmitted to secondary instruments such as indicators, recorders, controllers, or DCS systems for process monitoring and control.
