What is guided wave radar?

Micropower impulse radar (MIR) combines time domain reflectometry (TDR), equivalent time sampling (ETS), and modern low power circuitry.

This synthesis of technologies creates a high-speed Guided Wave Radar (GWR) transmitter.

The electromagnetic pulses are propagated via a waveguide, that focuses the energy and yields a system, many times more efficient than Non-Contact Radar (Non-contact radar level transmitters).

Time domain reflectometry (TDR)

TDR uses pulses of electromagnetic (EM) energy to measure distances or levels.
When a pulse reaches a dielectric discontinuity (such as one created by a media surface), a portion of the pulse is reflected.
The greater the dielectric difference between air and the process medium being measured, the greater the amplitude of the reflection.

Equivalent time sampling (ETS)

ETS, or Equivalent Time Sampling, is used to measure the high speed, low power EM energy.
ETS is a critical key in the application of TDR to vessel-level measurement technology.
The high-speed EM energy (1000 ft/us) is difficult to measure over short distances, and at the resolution required in the process industry.
ETS captures the EM signals in real time (nanoseconds), and reconstructs them in equivalent time (milliseconds), which is much easier to measure with today’s technology.

Guided-wave radar (GWR) level transmitter working principle

Levelflex works with high-frequency radar pulses, which are emitted and guided along with the probe.

As the pulse meets the medium surface, part of the emitted pulse is reflected due to a change of the dc value (relative dielectric constant).

The Time-of-Flight between pulse launching and receiving is measured, and analyzed by the instrument and constitutes a direct measure for the distance, between the process connection and the product surface.

Install for guided wave radar level transmitter

Waveguides can be metal rigid rods or flexible metal cables. The microwave pulse travels down the outside of the rod or cable. It is reflected on the surface of the material to be tested, and the echo is received by the antenna. The propagation distance can be calculated from the time difference between the launch and echo pulses.

Advantages:

Compared with ultrasonic and radar level gauges, the work is stable and reliable;
Like radar level gauges, the strength of the reflected signal depends on the dielectric or conductivity of the material being measured. However, the guided wave type can measure materials with lower dielectric constants.
It has a strong ability to suppress steam and foam, and the measurement is not affected;
Not affected by liquid density, looseness of solid materials, temperature, and dust during feeding;
Low maintenance, high performance, high precision, high reliability and long service life.

Disadvantages:

Double rods (cables) and coaxial tubular waveguides are easily affected by external structures due to the concentration of electric field energy;
It is easy to accumulate material between the rods (or inside the tube), resulting in false echoes and affecting the measurement effect;
The cable buried in the material will generate a large pull-down force due to the gravity of the material, causing the cable to be pulled off and other failures.

The microwave pulse emitted by the high frequency radar level transmitter is transmitted through the antenna, while the guided wave radar level transmitter is transmitted through the detection component.

So, is the installation standard of the guided wave radar level transmitter the same as that of the high-frequency radar level transmitter?

Today, let’s take a look at the installation standards of guided wave radar level transmitters.

Try to avoid the facilities in the tank during installation, and avoid the detection components (steel cables or steel rods) contacting internal obstacles during the measurement process, which will affect the measurement accuracy.
When installing, try to keep the detection component perpendicular to the surface of the measured medium. In this way, the microwave pulses sent out can reach the designated position, and the later data can be accurate.
During installation, the guided wave radar level transmitter should keep a certain distance from the container wall, and should be kept away from the feed and discharge ports. The feed and discharge ports have a great influence on the accuracy and stability of the guided wave radar level transmitter, so attention must be paid.
If the guided wave radar level transmitter is threaded, its length should not exceed 15mm. Generally, the length of the thread is inversely proportional to the stability of the measurement, that is, the shorter the thread, the more stable the measurement.
During installation, if the cable is too long, we need to cut off the power supply of the guided wave radar level transmitter, remove the cable, and remove the screw on the heavy hammer, and then intercept it from the bottom of the cable.
During installation, if the guided wave radar level transmitter is installed in the still-pipe, pay attention to fix the radar probe with an insulating bracket to ensure that the probe and the still-pipe are concentric, so as to avoid vibration caused by improper installation and affect the accuracy of the measurement.
When installing the guided wave radar level meter, if the connection surface of the container is made of other materials than metal, either use a metal flange to connect, or configure a metal plate.

The above are the main installation standards of the seven-point guided wave radar level transmitter summarized by Sino-Inst. In fact, the standard of guided wave radar level transmitter is far more than that.

When installing, be sure to read the manual of the self-contained product in detail. If you have any questions, you can contact the manufacturer’s engineer.

The relative permittivity of a medium is a physical quantity that characterizes the polarization of the medium.

It is determined by the properties of the medium itself.

Therefore, different media have different relative permittivity.

The dielectric constant of the measured medium directly affects the reflectivity of the high-frequency pulse signal.

When an electromagnetic pulse hits the surface of a medium, the electromagnetic wave is reflected and refracted.

The larger the relative permittivity, the smaller the reflection loss. On the contrary, the smaller the relative permittivity, the greater the transmission loss and the more serious the signal attenuation.

When the conductivity of the measured medium is greater than 10mS/cm, all of them will be reflected back. That is, the stronger the echo signal.

The signal will be extremely attenuated due to too small relative permittivity. Therefore, each guided wave radar level gauge has a minimum relative permittivity to ensure that the radar level gauge can be used normally.

Different companies’ guided wave radar liquid level transmitters have different structural designs and different requirements for minimum relative permittivity.

What is the difference between radar and ultrasonic level transmitter?

Radar liquid level sensors and ultrasonic liquid level sensors are non-contact liquid level measuring instruments. They mainly differ in the following three aspects:

Working principle

Ultrasonic level sensor
The ultrasonic level sensor uses non-touch measurement method. It is suitable for liquid level measurement in water conservancy and hydrology, chemical petroleum and sewage treatment. The probe of the ultrasonic level sensor is also called a transducer. The transducer emits ultrasonic pulses to the object to be measured. After touching the surface of the medium, the sound wave is reflected by the surface of the medium and is received by the transducer again. The time from when the sound wave is emitted to when it is absorbed and consumed after reflection will be proportional to the distance between the transducer and the medium.
Radar level sensor
Radar level sensors also use non-touch measurement methods. The measuring principle is similar to that of an ultrasonic level sensor. That is, the antenna emits electromagnetic waves, and the electromagnetic waves are reflected back after reaching the measured liquid surface. Then the antenna receives and recognizes the time distance that Baud has.

Adaptability

The time consumed by the ultrasonic storage and analysis of the sound waves in each period of the ultrasonic level sensor is slightly longer. For this reason, if the rate of liquid level change is too fast, it is generally not recommended to use an ultrasonic level sensor. In addition, the ultrasonic level sensor is sensitive to misty vapor and fine dust within the area. Therefore, ultrasonic level sensors are not suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature environments, misty spaces filled with vapor, or spaces with dust. But on the contrary, the radar level sensor can prevent the disturbance of the above-mentioned environment.

Cost performance

The market price of ultrasonic level sensors produced in China usually ranges from one thousand yuan to several thousand yuan. The appearance of its products is more delicate than that of radar level sensors, so transportation costs will be reduced accordingly. In comparison, the structural design of the radar level sensor is more messy and the measurement steps are more refined, so the price is higher. Especially when the user needs a radar level sensor with HART protocol, the unit price is more expensive. But now the price gap is not big, and it is shrinking year by year.

Through induction and comparison, it is not difficult to find that the ultrasonic level sensor and the radar level sensor have their own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is recommended that users should consider many aspects when purchasing liquid level timing. It is not only necessary to meet the preset specifications, but also to scientifically include the above aspects into consideration.

Guided wave radar devices, also called wave-guided radar level transmitters.
Have no moving parts and require minimum maintenance.
They can measure both levels and the interface between two media.
The guided wave radar level sensor is applied to water storage tanks，
acid and alkali storage tanks, slurry storage tanks,
solid particles, and small oil storage tanks.
All kinds of conductive, non-conductive media, corrosive media.
Such as coal bunkers, ash silos, oil tanks, acid tanks, etc.

Radar level transmitters use radar technology to perform the non-contact continuous level measurement. The radar level indicator converts the level into an electrical signal. The level signal output can then be utilised by other instrumentation to monitor or control. Liquids and solids are commonly measured with this measuring technique. Like: Fly ash silo. Radar level sensors are divided into: Pulsed radar technology and frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar level sensors.

The main factors affecting the price of guided wave radar level sensors are: Type of medium. Explosion-proof requirements, material and size, temperature, output signal, interface type. Connection method, etc. The reference price is 500-900USD.

Guided wave radar is a measuring instrument based on the principle of time travel. The radar wave travels at the speed of light, and the running time can be converted into a level signal by electronic components.
The instrument measures the distance from the reference point to the material surface. The probe sends out high-frequency pulses and propagates along the cable. When the pulses meet the material surface, they are reflected back and received by the receiver in the instrument. The time signal is converted into a material level signal.

GWR level transmitter is guided wave radar level transmitter. GWR level transmitter is an instrument based on guided wave radar to measure level.

Straighten the wave guide cable, place an internal obstacle with a radius of 30cm, put a vise (simulate the liquid level), and use a steel ruler with high precision to compare the error and calculate the accuracy.

The above method is not very accurate.
If possible, it can be installed on the tank, and the dipstick can be compared.

Corrosive Liquid Chemical Level Sensor in Chemical Processing

Generally, in chemical plants, you will encounter liquid level measurement such as petroleum storage tanks, chemical storage tanks, chemical storage tanks, sewage treatment plants, dosing tanks, seaside, and docks.

Used to measure corrosive media such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, sodium hydroxide, and concentrated alkali.

When encountering these corrosive media, corrosive liquid level sensors are generally used. Use non-contact radar level sensors to measure corrosive liquids such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and nitric acid.

Following the introduction of Sino-Inst, we have to consider four major principles when choosing a level gauge to measure.

Extended reading: GWR Corrosive Liquid Chemical Level Sensor

The first principle is to consider the principle of non-contact measurement and choose a non-contact liquid level sensor.

Because the probe of the liquid level sensor does not need to contact the medium. The principle of sensing band is used to obtain the current liquid level information. Such a liquid level sensor, for example, when measuring a level, a radar level gauge does not contact the measured medium, and the material used is tetrafluoroethylene. At the same time, it is a fully enclosed anticorrosive structure. Therefore, the effect is very good for liquid level measurement of viscous, corrosive, turbid and other liquids.

The second principle is to consider the convenience of installation.

Due to the uniqueness of the measurement of corrosive liquids such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and nitric acid. It needs simple installation on site. It needs to be simple to open a hole in the tank.

Therefore, in the selection process of the level gauge, it is necessary to consider the characteristics of reliable work, easy installation, long service life, and maintenance-free.

The third principle is sensor selection.

When the radar level gauge measures corrosive media, the general manufacturer will choose the anti-corrosion type tetrafluoro material contact surface. Considering environmental factors, a physically sealed anti-corrosion probe should be selected for this occasion.

The fourth principle is the choice of the host part.

As the host part, good sealing is required. As long as there is a little medium leakage, it is possible to enter the inside of the level gauge from the housing or the wire inlet. As a result, the internal circuit board is corroded.

For corrosive gases in the environment, anticorrosive high frequency radar level gauges can be used to protect the service life of the host.

The above is Sino-Inst analyzes how to choose the level sensor for concentrated sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid. If concentrated sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid exceed a certain temperature range, steam or vaporization occurs. It is necessary to consider the actual situation on site and re-select the appropriate level sensor.

How does a Radar Corrosive Liquid Chemical Level Sensor work?

In radar level measurement, microwaves are transmitted by the antenna system of the radar sensor, to the measured product, reflected by the product surface, and received back by the antenna system.

The time from emission to reception of the signals is proportional to the level in the vessel. In continuous non-contact level measurement with radar, the sensor sends microwave signals towards the medium from above.

The surface of the medium reflects the signals back in the direction of the sensor. Using the received microwave signals, the sensor determines the distance to the product surface and calculates the level from it.

Liquids and solids are commonly measured with this measuring technique.

SMT3151LT Pressure Level Transmitter

Posted on May 30, 2019 by KimGuo11

Pressure level transmitter is good for level measurement. Most of the time, we use submersible hydrostatic level sensor for the level measurement. When you can not use the probe of hydrostatic level sensor, you can try with this pressure level transmitter. Pressure level transmitter, is one type of DP level measure instrument, with the diaphragm.

The liquid level (pressure/differential pressure) transmitter,

is a pressure signal, measured at the reference side of atmospheric pressure (a low-pressure side),

with one or two ports for flange (or other connection) and process pipe connection.

So, we can say that the SMT3151LT pressure level transmitter,

also is one kind of diaphragm type level transmitter.

A pressure level transmitter is an on-site transmitter, that is mounted directly on a pipe or vessel.

Since the isolating diaphragm is directly in contact with the liquid medium,

it is not necessary to take out the pressure guiding tube on the positive pressure side,

so that the liquid level (Magnetostrictive level gauge), pressure, and density of the medium,

such as high temperature, high viscosity, easy crystallization,

easy precipitation and strong corrosion can be measured,

and then It is converted to 4~20mA.DC signal output

Working Principle of pressure level transmitters:

On the basis of common pressure/differential pressure transmitter,

one or two isolation membrane boxes are added to measure the liquid receiving part.

Mainly used for measuring high temperature,

easy to solidify or crystallize,

containing solid suspended matter, too viscous,

corrosive or other needs to maintain sanitary conditions, non-polluting media.

The basic measurement element,

is the same as the technical performance,

and technical index of the 3151 pressure/differential pressure transmitter.

After adding the remote transmission device,

there will be a small decrease in measurement accuracy,

slow reaction speed,

and the installation position should be attended to,

when the pressure is relatively small,

so as to ensure that the measured pressure is within the measurement range,

of the basic measurement element.

In other words, a column of water of a specific height,

will always exert the same amount of pressure on a transducer.

And because weight is a force, and pressure is force applied over an area,

in this case, the area of the transducer,

we can take the pressure reading from the transducer and translate it into a level.

What is the working principle of level transmitter?

There are many different kinds of level measurement transmitters, including:

Capacitance
Hydrostatic
Magnetic
Radar
Ultrasonic
Guided Microwave

Each of these transmitters works in different ways, making them useful for different types of processes.

Capacitance Level Transmitters:

These transmitters use liquid stored in a tank or container,as a dielectric medium between two or more electrodes.The energy capacity of the capacitor circuit increases,when there is more liquid and decreases if there is less liquid. By measuring the variations in the capacitance value,capacitance level transmitters can calculate the current fill level of the tank or container.

Capacitance Level Transmitters:

Hydrostatic Level Transmitters::

Also known as pressure level transmitters,these transmitters help in determining fluid contents of a container,by measuring the pressure of the resting body of the fluid within it. The greater the force of liquid, the greater the volume of fluid.

Magnetic Level Transmitters:

These transmitters use a magnetic object,which is suspended in a buoyant float.This is usually in a narrow auxiliary column,to restrict lateral movements of the float.While the float is on top of the liquid,the movement of the float is measured by a different magnetic device.This allows a precise and stable fill level to be transmitted.This method is suitable for continuous measurement,owing to the tendency of the float to rise or sink based on the liquid level.

New: SI-LT Magnetostrictive level transmitter with Local Digital Display

Radar Fill Level Transmitters:

These transmitters work on the principle of radar by using radio wave emissions.These transmitters are normally mounted at the top of a tank filled with a liquid.The transmitter sends a radar signal into the liquid and receives a reflection of the signal.The transmitters then analyze the current fill level of the tank based on the time taken by the transmitted signal to return.

Ultrasonic Level Transmitters:

In this type of transmitter, an ultrasonic transducer is mounted at,or near the top of a container containing liquid.The transducer sends out an ultrasonic pulse.The pulse hits the surface of the liquid and gets reflected.The sensor then calculates the fill level based on the time between the transmitted and received signal.

Guided Microwave Level Transmitters:

These transmitters work by sending a microwave pulse,through a sensor cable or rod.The signal hits the surface of the liquid,and travels back to the sensor,and then to the transmitter housing.The electronics integrated into the transmitter housingdetermine the filling level based on the time,taken by the signal to travel down the sensor and back up again.These types of level transmitters are used in industrial applications,in all areas of process technology.

Diaphragm Seal System

Remote Diaphragm seal pressure transmitter, is the capillary type pressure transmitter. This type pressure transmitter, assembling diaphragm seals to field transmitters for the purpose of measuring pressure, differential pressure, level, and flow.

Diaphragm seals are used to prevent process medium from entering into the pressure-sensing assembly of the Differential pressure, Gauge pressure, or Absolute pressure transmitter.

Applications which is suitable for diaphragm seal system

For measuring the liquid level, density, flow and pressure of ;
high/low-temperature fluids;
highly corrosive/high viscosity fluids ;
the fluids which may cause clogging of impulse piping in the low temperature ;
toxic fluids;
the fluids containing suspended solids, which are deposited in the impulse piping and may cause clogging.

How do diaphragm seals work?

Basically, diaphragm seals are used in all pressure measurement processes to avoid direct contact between the measuring instrument and the medium during this process. In addition, if the measuring point cannot be installed or read because the measuring point is located in a hard-to-reach location, a diaphragm seal can also be used. In both cases, the applied pressure is transferred to the measuring instrument through the system fill fluid in the diaphragm seal housing.
The diaphragm of the seal can be made of different materials, such as stainless steel, Hastelloy, Monel or tantalum. In addition, coatings with ECTFE, PFA or gold can also be used.

We can provide the best diaphragm seal design, materials, system fill fluid and accessories for each application. The combined configuration of the pressure measuring instrument and the diaphragm seal is mainly determined by the special application conditions of the diaphragm sealing system.

How does a diaphragm pressure sensor work?

When the diaphragm seal pressure transmitter is working, the high and low pressure side isolation diaphragms and the filling liquid transfer the process pressure to the center filling liquid. The filling fluid in the center transmits the pressure to the sensing diaphragm in the center of the δ-chamber sensor. The sensing diaphragm is a tensioned elastic element, and its displacement changes with the differential pressure. For GP gauge pressure transmitters, the atmospheric pressure is applied to the low-pressure side of the sensing diaphragm. AP absolute pressure transmitter, the low pressure side always maintains a reference pressure. The maximum displacement of the sensing diaphragm is 0.004 inches (0.10 mm). The displacement is proportional to the pressure. The two capacitance fixed plates of the measuring diaphragm are linearly converted into a 2-wire current, voltage or digital HART output signal of 4-20mADC by the amplifying circuit.

What is a diaphragm seal?

Diaphragm seals, also known as chemical seals or remote seals, are used for pressure measurements when the process medium should not come into contact with the pressurised parts of the measuring instrument.

A diaphragm seal has two primary tasks:

Separation of the measuring instrument from the process medium
Transfer of the pressure to the measuring instrument

Extended reading: SI-703 Flush Diaphragm Pressure Sensor

What is remote seal?

The remote seal is used to prevent the medium in the pipeline from directly entering the pressure sensor assembly in the pressure transmitter. It is connected to the transmitter by a capillary filled with fluid. As a result, they’re often used in refining, petrochemical, and chemical plants.

Applicaitons of diaphragm seal

Typical applications where a diaphragm seal provides a cost-effective solution, to protecting the pressure instrument are:

In applications where the process fluid is corrosive;

In applications where the process fluid has a high viscosity,
is comprised of slurries, sludge or other material that can actually coat,
or damage a traditional pressure measuring device;

In applications where the process fluid can freeze or polymerize,
thus causing a condition that might lead to the instrument becoming immobilized,
or incapable of transmitting an accurate pressure measurement or signal.

The process side of the seal is isolated by a flexible diaphragm. The internal space between this diaphragm and pressure measuring sensor is filled with a system fill fluid. The pressure is transmitted from the measured medium, by the elastic diaphragm into the fluid. And from there to the measuring element, i.e. to the pressure measuring instrument or the transmitter.

Often, between the diaphragm seal and pressure measuring instrument, a capillary is connected. Capillary can eliminate or to minimize temperature effects from the hot fluid to the measuring instrument.

A Remote seal is mounted to the process by threaded, flanged, in-line, sanitary, or other connections. Usually, the fittings consist of T-pieces which are integrated into a pipeline, or of welding sockets which are welded to a pipeline, the process reactor or a tank.

This diaphragm seal type offers the advantage, that the “contact surface” between pressure medium and the diaphragm is relatively large. Thus ensuring accurate pressure measurement, especially for very low pressures (< 600 mbar).

Although standard remote seal bodies and diaphragms, are made of stainless steel, a variety of materials, from carbon steel to Hastelloy® C-276, are available to meet the demand of most applications.

A remote seal from Sino-Instrument can operate in pressure applications from 10″ Hg to 20,000 psi, and media temperatures between -130°F and 752°F. We can try to Learn more about the functionality, areas of application and advantages of a diaphragm seal in the following WIKA video.

The remote pressure transmitter without capillary can be directly installed through the remote flange. The position deviation will produce a correctable zero offset
The electronic watch case can rotate 360 degrees at the maximum. The positioning screw can fix it at any position.
Single-crystal silicon remote flange is connected with the matching flange conforming to ANSI / DIN standard. The matching flange should be equipped with soft gasket and fixed bolts and nuts. The user can choose to install bolts and nuts.
For the remote transmission pressure transmitter with capillary, if the remote transmission sealing device is lower than the transmitter body, the maximum height drop between the remote transmission sealing device and the transmitter body should be less than 5m. When the working pressure is lower than 100kPa absolute pressure, the transmitter body must be lower than the remote transmission sealing device.
The minimum bending radius of the capillary is 75mm, winding is strictly prohibited

When are threaded connections used with diaphragm seals?

The combinations of diaphragm seals with threaded connection can be used for processes with extreme temperatures and with aggressive, adhesive, corrosive, environmentally hazardous or toxic media.

Why are there different system fill fluids with diaphragm seals?

In selecting the system fill fluid for diaphragm seals, factors such as compatibility (physiologically harmless) and also temperature and pressure conditions at the measurement location are of crucial importance. Depending on the system fill fluid, the appropriate minimum and maximum operating temperature range must be observed.

How are the diaphragm seals connected?

The diaphragm seals are available with female or male thread in their basic design. Due to the wide variety of available process connections they can be mounted to many different connections without any problems. Generally these connections are T-pieces which are integrated into a pipeline or welded to a pipeline by means of a welding socket.

**Hydrostatic Pressure Sensor/Transmitter**

What is hydrostatic level transmitter?

Hydrostatic level transmitter is actually a type of pressure transmitter. Hydrostatic level transmitter is the application of pressure transmitter to liquid level measurement. The submersible Hydostatic pressure level transmitter is based on the principle that the measured liquid static pressure is proportional to the height of the liquid. Piezoresistive effect using diffused silicon or ceramic sensitive elements. Convert static pressure into electrical signal. After temperature compensation and linear correction. Convert to 4-20mADC standard current signal output. In order to achieve liquid level measurement.

Submersible level transmitter working principle

The basic working principle of Hydrostatic Level Sensor is static pressure level measurement.

In liquid, the pressure generated at a certain depth is generated by the weight of the medium itself above the measurement point. It is proportional to the density of the medium and the local acceleration of gravity.

The formula P = ρgh reflects the proportional relationship between them.

Where P = pressure, ρ = medium density, g = gravity acceleration, h = depth of measurement point.

Therefore, the physical quantity measured by the input liquid level gauge is actually pressure. It can be understood by the calibration unit mH2O of the input level gauge. The actual liquid level must be obtained by conversion after knowing the two parameters of density and gravity acceleration. In the industrial field, such conversion is usually performed by a secondary instrument or PLC.

The Hydrostatic Level Sensor mainly measures corrosive liquids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide, etc. Or chemical and electroplating wastewater. Mainly used in measuring corrosive media. It has the advantages of strong corrosion resistance and stable performance.

Hydrostatic Pressure

Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure generated by the weight of the liquid above the measurement point when the liquid is stationary. The height of the liquid column with uniform density is proportional to the hydrostatic pressure. As the weight of the fluid exerting downward force from above increases, the hydrostatic pressure increases in proportion to the depth measured from the surface.

If the fluid is inside the container, the depth of the object placed in the fluid can be measured.
The hydrostatic characteristics of a liquid are not constant, and the main factors affecting it are the density and local gravity of the liquid. In order to determine the hydrostatic pressure of a particular liquid, both quantities need to be known.

The deeper an object is placed in a fluid, the greater the pressure it bears. This is because the weight of the fluid is higher than its weight. Due to the weight of the fluid, the denser the fluid above it, the greater the pressure on the submerged object.

Measuring principle

The pressure in the liquid increases as the filling height increases. The hydrostatic pressure is transmitted to the measuring unit through the stainless steel diaphragm. Bubbling, accumulation of liquids, fluctuating electrical characteristics, and container design will not affect the measured value.

Formula for calculating hydrostatic pressure

The formula for calculating the hydrostatic pressure of a column of liquid is:

P_hyd = h.ρ.g

P_rel = h.ρ.g

P_abs = h.ρ.g + P_atm

P_hyd = Hydrostatic Pressure (Pa)
Prel = Relative Pressure (Pa)
Pabs = Absolute Pressure (Pa)
Patm = Atmospheric Pressure (Pa)
h = Liquid Height (m)
ρ = Liquid Density (kg/m3)
g = Local Gravity (m/s2)

The above calculation formula is also the working principle of hydrostatic liquid level sensor.

The hydrostatic pressure sensor measures the hydrostatic pressure applied by the hydrostatic head. Output 4-20mA.
Use a hydrostatic pressure transmitter to measure the storage tank and pump inlet. And other applications where hydrostatic pressure is used to determine the liquid level.

Hydrostatic Pressure Sensor/Transmitter can also be used with paperless recorder.

Hydrostatic Level Sensor measures the hydrostatic pressure by the submersible pressure sensor. The static pressure of the liquid is proportional to the height of the liquid. Then the static pressure was converted into an electrical signal. Convert to analog signal output or 4-20mADC. With digital display. For water level measurement, hydrostatic level sensor is a low cost type. Different types of measuring cells are used in level measurement based on the hydrostatic principle.

Lightning protection, anti-corrosion, explosion-proof optional. IP68 is optional.

The basic working principle of Hydrostatic Level Sensor is static pressure level measurement.

The formula P = ρgh reflects the proportional relationship between them.

Where P = pressure, ρ = medium density, g = gravity acceleration, h = depth of measurement point.

Extended reading: Static pressure vs dynamic pressure vs total pressure

**SMT3151LT Pressure Level Transmitter**

DP transmitters are Differential Pressure Transmitters. DP transmitter measures the pressure difference between the gas or liquid at both ends of the transmitter. Output 4~20mA, 0~5V. Used for liquid level, density, and pressure of liquid, gas, and steam.

DP transmitters are different from pressure transmitters as they have 2 pressure interfaces. With flanges, capillaries, valves, brackets, throttle devices. Differential pressure transmitters are used to measure the level, density, and flow of liquids, gases, and vapors. Then convert it into 4–20mADC current signal output.

Hydrostatic pressure transmitter fault debugging steps:

How to debug the fault of Hydrostatic pressure transmitter

Total Time: 30 minutes

Check the power supply

Check if the power supply of the differential pressure transmitter is reversed, and whether the positive, and negative poles of the power supply are connected correctly.

Measure the power supply

Measure the power supply of the transmitter, whether there is 24V DC voltage. It must ensure that the power supply voltage to the transmitter is ≥12V
(that is, the voltage of the transmitter power input terminal is ≥12V).
If there is no power supply, check whether the circuit is disconnected, whether the instrument is selected incorrectly (input impedance should be ≤250Ω), and so on.

Check the display meter

If the pressure transmitter is equipped with a meter head, it is necessary to check whether the dislay meter is damaged. You can short-circuit the two wires of the meter head first. If it is normal after a short circuited, it means the head is damaged.
If the meter head is damaged, Then you need to change the header.

Check the current

If there is a problem with the differential pressure transmitter, connect the ammeter to the 24V power supply circuit to check if the current is normal.
If it is normal, the transmitter is normal. In this case, check if other instruments in the loop are normal.

Connect the power supply

Connect the power supply to the transmitter power input terminal, and connect the power cable to the power supply wiring port.
If you still have any question with the selection, application, and use of pressure transmitters, you can just contact our engineer today.

5 Types of Industrial Pressure Sensors

Piezoelectric pressure sensor:

Piezoelectric effect is the main working principle of piezoelectric sensors. Piezoelectric sensors cannot be used for static measurement. Because the charge after external force is applied, it can only be saved when the loop has infinite input impedance. This is not the case, so this determines that piezoelectric sensors can only measure dynamic stress.

Ceramic pressure sensor:

Ceramic pressure sensors are based on the piezoresistive effect. Pressure directly acts on the front surface of the ceramic diaphragm, causing the membrane to deform slightly. Thick film resistors are printed on the back of the ceramic diaphragm and connected into a Wheatstone bridge. Because of the varistor The piezoresistive effect makes the bridge generate a voltage signal that is highly linear and proportional to the pressure and proportional to the excitation voltage. The standard signal is calibrated to 2.0 / 3.0 / 3.3mv / v according to different pressure ranges. Strain sensors are compatible.

Diffused silicon pressure sensor:

The working principle of a diffused silicon pressure sensor is also based on the piezoresistive effect. Using the piezoresistive effect principle, the pressure of the measured medium directly acts on the diaphragm of the sensor (stainless steel or ceramic). The diaphragm produces a micro-displacement proportional to the pressure of the medium. Change the resistance value of the sensor. Use electronic circuits to detect this change, and convert and output a standard measurement signal corresponding to this pressure.

Sapphire pressure sensor:

Utilizing strain-resistance working principle. Using silicon-sapphire as the semiconductor sensitive element has unparalleled metrological characteristics. Therefore, silicon-sapphire semiconductor sensitive components are used. They are not sensitive to temperature changes and have good working characteristics even under high temperature conditions. Sapphire has extremely strong radiation resistance. In addition, silicon-sapphire semiconductor sensitive components, pn drift.

Piezoresistive force sensor:

Resistance strain gage is one of the main components of a piezoresistive strain sensor. The working principle of a metal resistance strain gage is that the resistance of the strain resistance absorbed by the base material changes with the mechanical deformation.

Applications of OEM pressure sensor

Industrial process control: liquid level measurement, gas, liquid pressure measurement;

Pressure testing instruments: pressure calibration instruments, hydraulic systems and switches; refrigeration equipment and air conditioning systems, aviation and marine testing.

OEM pressure transmitter manufacturer in China

Sino-Inst sensors are produced in three basic configurations: gauge pressure sensors, absolute pressure sensors and sealed gauge pressure sensors.

A large percentage of OEM pressure sensors produced by Sino-Instrument, are used in our own pressure transducers, and pressure transmitters, so Sino-Inst understands the OEM viewpoint.
