Can pressure transmitters measure high temperature media?

Customers often have such a question. So can pressure transmitters really measure high temperature media? The answer is yes.Of course, the pressure transmitter cannot directly contact the high-temperature medium. Prolonged contact with high-temperature media can easily damage the pressure sensor. Usually when measuring high temperature media, the pressure transmitter will be equipped with a stainless steel heat sink device. Avoid direct contact between the medium and the transmitter. A condensing tube can also be added on the basis of the heat sink to reduce the damage to the transmitter caused by excessive temperature.

Read more about: What is industrial pressure transmitter?

High temperature-resistant pressure transmitters use Hessman connectors to keep the signal stable, the circuit design is constantly optimized, and the anti-interference ability is strong. The heat sink and core are fully combined to work normally at high temperatures.

High temperature-resistant pressure transmitter:

  1. Adding stainless steel heat sink on the basis of standard type and industrial type is high temperature type product, divided into standard high temperature type and industrial high temperature type. 4 ~ 20mA output, voltage 0 ~ 5V / 1 ~ 5/0 ~ 10V, etc.
  2. Standard high temperature type, all stainless steel structure, small size and easy installation. High temperature industrial type, cast aluminum housing, terminal output and simple wiring. When the current output is required, a digital display meter can be optionally provided.
  3. Standard high temperature type, high temperature industrial type, optional intrinsically safe explosion-proof box isolation and explosion-proof.
  4. The computer compensation technology is adopted, and the temperature drift is small. ± 0.01% FS / ℃ integrated circuit, high precision, strong anti-interference ability.
  5. Applied in petroleum, chemical, steel, light industry, machinery and equipment, energy constant pressure variable frequency water supply and other industries pressure detection. When the temperature is quite high, a condenser tube or a condenser is still used.

Add-on High Temperature Adapter

Add-on High-Temperature Adapter can also be called a pressure buffer tube. The role is to cool the measured medium and smooth the pressure fluctuations. When the pressure of the liquid, steam, and condensable gas whose temperature is higher than 60 ℃ is detected, the source port of the pressure sensor installed locally shall have a ring-shaped condensation ring or a U-shaped condensation bend.

Add-on High-Temperature Adapter is mainly used in a high-temperature environments with permeable or saturated steam. Avoid direct contact with high-temperature fluid inside the pressure sensor.

pressure sensor for steam

Pressure transmitters are used for steam metering and pipeline monitoring.

The temperature in the steam pipeline is generally relatively high. The low is more than one hundred degrees Celsius, and the high is two to three hundred degrees Celsius.

The start and stop of the valve will also cause the pressure in the pipeline to fluctuate.

Today we are going to talk to you about what to pay attention to when measuring the pressure of steam pipes?

When measuring the pressure of the steam pipeline, a high-temperature pressure transmitter should be selected due to the high-temperature environment.

In fact, in steam conditions, it only needs to pass through the surface bend (condensation tube). After passing through the elbow, the steam will condense into water at the elbow. Insulate the temperature, so as to achieve a good cooling effect.

The pressure transmitter after passing through the elbow on the pipeline with insulation layer is basically at room temperature. If it is not insulated, the high temperature will rise, causing the temperature of all objects above the pipeline to rise.

Advantages: The use of bends can optimize the cost, and is compatible with the product.

The material selection of a good bend is high. It is thicker and more durable than the general watch bend on the market. Good pressure resistance. The price will be slightly more expensive.

The above-mentioned pressure transmitter diaphragm damage is due to the phenomenon of water hammer.

The valve suddenly opens or closes, causing the pressure in the steam pipe to fluctuate suddenly.

Especially when the valve is opened, huge pressure fluctuations will cause the pipeline to vibrate violently. Even shocking.

The pressure transmitter will also withstand huge pressure in the pipeline. In severe cases, the core may be dented or even burst.

The prevention method is to install safety valves and accumulators, and open and close the valves slowly. Install a trap at the high point of the air discharge valve at the low point.

Some pressure transmitters will be protected by dampers and baffles.

The damper is a copper piece with a 4mm outer wire and a T-shaped thin through-tube structure inside. It can prevent the medium from directly impacting the diaphragm.

The baffle is placed on the front end of the core before assembling the core. Metal plate with holes. It also prevents the medium from directly impacting the diaphragm.

In the hydraulic machinery industry, there are a lot of equipment for pressure transmitters, which are often used for pressure control.

But hydraulic machinery is very prone to pressure shock when it is working. The shock pressure will far exceed the normal pressure, causing damage to the pressure transmitter.

In this case, some pressure transmitters have internal wires and dampers in the standard pressure port. Can effectively alleviate the impact.

The hydraulic and mechanical pressures are all above 10MPa. Generally, the transmitter above 10MPa should be equipped with a damper as standard. If the pressure shock is severe, a baffle can be added to alleviate the shock.

In HVAC systems, end sensors and controllers are the key components to ensure the smooth operation of the entire system and achieve energy-saving effects.

In the central air conditioner, the filter is used to filter the dust and impurities in the ventilation duct. The pressure sensor at the indoor vent is used to monitor the air pressure difference between the two ends of the filter at the air outlet. With the accumulation of time, the dust on the filter will accumulate more and more. It will gradually affect the air circulation of the filter. When the air circulation is not smooth, the air pressure difference between the two ends of the filter will continue to increase.

When the pressure sensor senses the pressure change, the upper computer receives the signal from the pressure sensor. When the signal value reaches the alarm point, it will start to alarm. It reminds the cleaning staff to replace or clean the filter. In addition to this role, the pressure sensor is also used to participate in the control of the air supply volume of the air outlet.

To measure pressure at high temperatures, you need a High Temperature Pressure Sensor designed to withstand extreme temperatures. These sensors typically use special materials and construction methods to ensure accurate and stable pressure readings even in environments with elevated temperatures.

Pressure sensor failures can result from several factors, including:

  • Overpressure: Exceeding the sensor’s rated pressure limit can cause permanent damage.
  • Temperature extremes: Prolonged exposure to temperatures outside the sensor’s specified range may cause sensor failure.
  • Mechanical stress: Physical damage, such as dropping or mishandling, can impact the sensor’s performance.
  • Corrosion: Exposure to harsh chemicals or corrosive substances can lead to sensor deterioration.
  • Electrical issues: Overvoltage, electromagnetic interference, or faulty wiring can damage the sensor’s electronics.

A pressure and temperature sensor is a combined device that measures both pressure and temperature in a single unit.

The pressure sensing element, usually a piezoresistive or capacitive element, converts the applied pressure into an electrical signal.

The temperature sensing element, often a thermocouple or RTD, measures the temperature by producing a voltage or resistance change proportional to temperature variations. The sensor’s output signals are then processed and converted into readable values.

A pressure sensor detects and measures the pressure of a fluid or gas. It converts the pressure into an electrical signal, which can be read and processed by control systems, instruments, or data acquisition devices. Pressure sensors can be used in various applications, such as monitoring pressure in pipelines, HVAC systems, automotive systems, and industrial processes.

Working Principle of Melt Pressure Transducer

The working principle of the melt pressure sensor is that the pressure of the medium directly acts on the diaphragm of the sensor. The diaphragm produces a micro-displacement proportional to the pressure of the medium. The resistance of the sensor changes. The change is detected by electronic circuits. The conversion outputs a standard signal corresponding to this pressure.

Precautions for buying high temperature melt pressure sensors

1. What kind of pressure is being measured. Generally, the maximum pressure range of the high temperature melt pressure sensor you need should reach 1.5 times the maximum pressure value of your system. All high temperature melt pressure sensors are designed to withstand the maximum pressure for 200 million cycles without degrading performance. You need to find a compromise solution between system performance and high temperature melt pressure sensor life.

2. Consider the type of media that needs to be measured. The key factor to consider when selecting a high temperature melt pressure sensor is the medium being measured. Will it be a viscous liquid or a slurry on the pressure head? Is the contact with the high temperature melt pressure sensor a soluble or corrosive medium or clean dry air? This question determines whether impact dies are needed and what materials are used to make contact with the media.

3. Consider the accuracy you need to achieve. Accuracy is a term commonly used by manufacturers to describe the output error of high temperature melt pressure sensors. The cost of having a higher accuracy high temperature melt pressure sensor will be higher. Then your system really needs such high accuracy ? A system consisting of a high-precision high-temperature melt pressure sensor and a low-resolution instrument is actually a low-efficiency solution.

4. Carefully consider the temperature resistance, interchangeability, time stability and ruggedness of the high temperature melt pressure sensor to be purchased.

5. What output method does the high temperature melt pressure sensor you want to use. The required excitation voltage, and how to connect the high temperature melt pressure sensor to your electrical system.

Use of high temperature melt pressure sensor

Installation

The correct installation position of the high temperature melt transmitter on the process pipeline is related to the measured medium. In order to obtain the best measurement results, pay attention to several points:

  1. Prevent the transmitter from coming into contact with corrosive or hot media;
  2. When measuring liquid pressure, the pressure taking port should be opened on the side of the process pipeline to avoid sedimentation;
  3. Prevent dross from depositing in the duct;
  4. When measuring the gas pressure, the pressure taking port should be opened at the top of the process pipeline, and the transmitter should also be installed at the top of the process pipeline so that the accumulated liquid can be easily injected into the process pipeline;
  5. When measuring steam or other high-temperature media, a condenser such as a buffer tube (coil) must be connected, and the operating temperature of the transmitter should not exceed the limit;
  6. The pressure guiding tube should be installed in a place with small temperature fluctuations;
  7. When freezing occurs in winter, it is necessary to take anti-freezing measures according to the transmitter installed outdoors to avoid the expansion of the liquid in the pressure port due to the freezing volume, leading to damage to the sensor;
  8. When wiring, pass the cable through the waterproof joint or flexible pipe and tighten the sealing nut to prevent rainwater, etc. from leaking into the transmitter housing through the cable;
  9. When measuring the liquid pressure, the installation position of the transmitter should avoid the impact of the liquid to avoid damage to the sensor due to overpressure.

Maintenance

High temperature melt transmitters are required to be checked once a week. Check every month. It is mainly to remove dust from the instrument. Carefully inspect electrical components. Always check the output current value. There is weak current inside the pressure transmitter. Be sure to keep it away from strong external electricity.

extrusion melt pressure transducer

In plastic and rubber extrusion production lines, melt pressure sensors play an important role in improving melt quality, improving production safety and protecting production equipment. At the same time, the high temperature melt pressure sensor is a very sensitive element. Only proper installation and maintenance can make it work to its fullest.

In the extrusion production process, some quality standards of the product (such as dimensional accuracy or the surface flatness of the parts added with mineral fillers, etc.) require optimal control of the extrusion pressure. Melt pressure sensor is an important element to achieve this requirement. By setting the melt pressure sensor and pressure control device at the mold inlet connection. It can make the product more stable and can reduce the waste of materials.

In addition, measuring the pressure across the screen and the melt pump is very important to ensure the safety of production and the optimal performance of the equipment. If the flow of the melt into the mold is blocked, a sensor under the screen will alert the operator (which can be done via a meter) to alert the operator.

When a sensor upstream of the filter sounds an alarm, it indicates that the pressure inside the extruder is too high, possibly causing excessive wear on the screw.
For manufacturers applying melt pumps, it is necessary to measure the inlet and outlet pressures of the melt medium. To ensure that the melt medium can continuously flow into the mold. Because of any obstruction, the melt pump may be blocked.

A pressure sensor equipped on an extrusion line can measure the pressure at only one point, or it can be a series of sensors used to measure the entire line.
Melt pressure sensor is connected with data recorder and sound alarm device. The processing parameters of the extruder can be adjusted using the processing control system.

Common faults of high temperature melt pressure sensor digital instruments

  1. High temperature melt pressure gauge with black screen. Make a preliminary judgment as to whether the 220v power supply line is faulty. The pressure gauge may burn out.
  2. Word skip appears on the pressure gauge. Preliminarily judge whether the connection of the signal line between the sensor and the pressure instrument is bad; whether the shield line is connected to the ground. There are interference signals at the scene. (Poor contact between the welding points inside the meter).
  3. The upper window of the meter displays —- or 0000. The signal cable between the sensor and the meter may be connected incorrectly. Or the sensor leads are broken.
  4. The pressure display on the upper window of the meter does not rise but decreases, which may be the damage of the sensor diaphragm.
  5. The pressure gauge functions normally, that is, the pressure cannot reach the target value. Check the sensor threads. Installing too shallow or too deep may cause it. Adjusting the torque to the normal range pressure shows normal;
  6. The high temperature melt pressure gauge shows a negative number. Cannot clear calibration. The high-temperature melt pressure gauge is subjected to an instantaneous strong current shock, which causes damage to the instrument protection components.

Melt pressure transducers are common spares on extrusion lines to measure the pressure and/or temperature of materials in pipes. The design structure of the product is to stick the four strain gauges that make up the bridge circuit on the diaphragm at the other end of the capillary tube according to the principle of circular diaphragm compression.
During measurement, the melt presses the pressure-sensitive diaphragm, which transmits the pressure to the diaphragm at the other end through the filling medium. The diaphragm is deformed, and the strain is attached to the strain gauge.

Before the calibration operation, first, the Melt pressure transducers are stopped, second, the operating temperature is within the operating temperature, and third, the temperature compensation is adjusted to zero.

Melt pressure transducers are available in temperature compensated grades, which are selected based on the medium filled in the capillary tube in the sensor. The physical properties of the filling medium are directly related to the zero degree output level.

When assigning ranges with the meter, this value needs to be taken into account and adjustments made to compensate. A calibration adjustment acts like setting a balance, think of temperature compensation as the packaging of the item being weighed.

The temperature compensation for 3 different media is as follows:

  • Hg (mercury) = 15 psi/ 100°F or 27 psi/ 100°C
  • Oil = 36 psi/100°F or 65psi/100°C
  • NaK (Sodium Potassium) = 30 psi/ 100°F or 54psi/ 100°C

Example:
Process temperature = 200°C, mercury filled, signal output 60psi @ zero pressure

① According to the full scale pressure range of the sensor, this offset is outside the normal combined error specification. The pressure range is 10,000 psi, the combined error is 0.5%, and the compensation is actually 110 psi.
② Remember that when we perform calibration, there is no change to the signal output, only to ensure that the output is within the tolerance range of the specification.
③The design of the meter is easy to process calibration, and it only takes a few cases to test the high/low limit range of the output.

A pressure transmitter refers to a pressure sensor whose output is a standard signal, and is an instrument that accepts a pressure variable proportionally converted into a standard output signal. It can convert physical pressure parameters such as gas and liquid sensed by the load cell sensor into standard electrical signals. Measurement, indication and process adjustment are carried out by supplying secondary instruments such as indicating alarms, recorders and regulators.

If you want the pressure transmitter to be washable, you should consider installing the pressure transmitter on the barrel before the filter or before and after the melt pump or in the mold.

Points to note when cleaning the pressure transmitter:

All pressure transmitter connections should be removed before cleaning the body with a wire brush or detergent. Because these two cleaning methods may damage the diaphragm of the pressure transmitter and the insulation of the wiring.

When heated cleaning is required, the pressure transmitter should also be removed and the top wiped with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. At the same time, the holes of the pressure transmitter also need to be cleaned with soft tools.

There are different types of pressure transducers based on their design.

These sensors can come in several shapes and sizes, but the technology inside can also differ. 

There 4 main types of pressure sensors based on this:

FAQ

What does a pressure transducer do?

A pressure sensor (Pressure Transducer) is a transmitter that can sense pressure signals and convert them into usable output electrical signals according to certain rules.
The pressure sensor usually consists of a pressure sensitive element and a signal processing unit. According to different test pressure types, pressure sensors can be divided into gauge pressure sensors, differential pressure sensors and absolute pressure sensors.

How do you test a pressure transducer?

Today I will mainly introduce three common detection methods for pressure sensors. Hope it helps everyone.
1. Pressure test. The method of detection is to power the sensor. Use your mouth to blow the air hole of the pressure sensor. Use the voltage file of a multimeter to detect the voltage change at the output of the sensor. If the relative sensitivity of the pressure sensor is large. This amount of change will be obvious. If nothing has changed. You need to use a pneumatic source to apply pressure instead.
2. Zero point detection. Use the voltage file of a multimeter. Detect the zero output of the sensor under no pressure. This output is generally mV level voltage. If the technical specifications of the sensor are exceeded, the zero deviation of the sensor is out of range.
3. Detection of bridges. It mainly detects whether the circuit of the sensor is correct. It is generally a Wheatstone full-bridge circuit. Use the ohm file of the multimeter to measure the impedance between the input terminals and the impedance between the output terminals. These two impedances are the input and output impedances of the pressure sensor. If the impedance is infinite, the bridge is disconnected. It means there is a problem with the sensor or the definition of the pin is not correct.

How does a 3 wire pressure transducer work?

The output signal of the two-wire pressure transmitter is generally 4-20MA. The supply voltage is 24VDC. The two wires are a red (representing positive 24V power supply), and a black or blue (representing positive signal output). The wiring method is that the red wire is connected to the positive source and the blue wire is connected to the signal positive, and then the power supply negative and the signal negative are shorted.
The three-wire pressure transmitter is generally a voltage output. Wire one (red power supply is positive), one black (power supply is negative), and one yellow (signal output is positive). The output ground is common to the power supply.

Why shouldn’t you use a pressure transducer with high oxygen environment?

Oxygen plays an important role in the smelting process, chemical industry, national defense industry, and healthcare. However, the process of oxygen production and use is extremely prone to combustion and explosion.
The analysis is based on the mechanism of the “three elements” of combustion and explosion (combustible materials, oxidants, and excitation energy). The high-purity high-pressure oxygen transported in the oxygen pipeline is a very strong oxidant. The higher the purity, the higher the pressure, the stronger the oxidation, the more dangerous.
The potential sources of excitation energy for combustion or explosion are roughly the following: friction, compression heat, impact force, arc, resonance, etc.
In the construction of industrial oxygen pipelines, multiple cleaning processes such as derusting, scrubbing, sand blasting, blowing, degreasing, and acid cleaning should be carried out. Remove the oil and impurities in the pipeline to make it reach the condition of transporting oxygen medium. Check and accept according to relevant standards, and use it after passing the test.
For oxygen pressure measurement, choosing a clean instrument filled with inert oil not only improves the safety level, but also greatly reduces the risk of economic and time loss caused by maintenance or failure replacement.

2. Prevent the transmitter from coming into contact with corrosive or hot media.

3. Prevent dross from depositing in the duct.

4. When measuring liquid pressure, the pressure taking port should be opened on the side of the process pipeline to avoid sedimentation.

5. When measuring the gas pressure, the pressure taking port should be opened at the top of the process pipeline. The transmitter should also be installed at the top of the process pipeline so that the accumulated liquid can be easily injected into the process pipeline.

6. The pressure guiding tube should be installed in a place with small temperature fluctuations.

7. When measuring steam or other high-temperature media, a condenser such as a buffer tube (coil) must be connected. The transmitter’s operating temperature should not exceed the limit.

Q&A

What is pressure sensor and how it works?

pressure sensor is a device for pressure measurement of gases or liquids.  Pressure sensors can also be used to indirectly measure other variables such as fluid/gas flow, speed, water level, and altitude. Pressure sensors can alternatively be called pressure transducerspressure transmitterspressure senderspressure indicatorspiezometers, and manometers, among other names.
In short, a pressure sensor converts pressure into a small electrical signal, which is sent and displayed. Therefore, these are also commonly referred to as pressure transmitters. Two common signals used are 4 to 20 mA signals and 0 to 5-volt signals.
Most pressure sensors work using the piezoelectric effect. This is when the material generates a charge in response to stress. This stress is usually compressive, but may be twisted, bent, or vibrated.
Pressure sensors detect pressure and can determine the amount of pressure by measuring the charge.
The pressure sensor needs to be calibrated in order to know what voltage or milliamp (mA) signal corresponds to what pressure. This is the basic “zero” and “span” calibration or minimum and maximum, which is a common job for maintenance personnel.

What does a barometric pressure sensor do?

Air pressure sensor is an instrument used to measure the absolute pressure of gas. Air pressure sensor is mainly suitable for physical experiments related to gas pressure. It can also measure dry, non-corrosive gas pressure in biological and chemical experiments.
The main sensing element of the air pressure sensor of the air compressor is a thin film that is sensitive to the pressure of the air pressure and a thimble opening control. In the circuit, it is connected with a flexible resistor. When the pressure of the measured gas decreases or increases, the thin film deforms to drive the ejector pin, and the resistance of the resistor will change. The resistance of the resistor changes. The signal voltage of 0-5V is obtained from the sensing element, and is received by the data collector after A / D conversion, and then the data collector transmits the result to the computer in an appropriate form.
The main component of many air pressure sensors is a variable-capacitance silicon capsule. When the external atmospheric pressure of the variable-capacitance silicon membrane box changes, the thimble moves, and the single crystal silicon membrane box elastically deforms with it, thereby causing a change in the capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor of the silicon membrane box to control the air pressure sensor.
More about Gas Pressure Sensor.

What are pressure sensors made of?

The pressure sensor is a device that detects pressure and converts the pressure signal into an electrical signal and outputs it linearly. Common types include strain gauge, piezoresistive, capacitive, piezoelectric, and vibration frequency pressure sensors.
We use strain gauge pressure sensors as an introduction. It is mainly composed of 4 parts: elastomer, strain gauge, measuring circuit and transmission cable.
Strain gauge pressure sensor measurement principle: When the pressure sensor elastic body is deformed under the action of external force. The strain gauge attached to the elastic body then bends. The resistance of the strain gauge changes. Then the measurement circuit converts the change in resistance into an electrical signal (usually a millivolt signal).
Elastomer: Elastomer is the pressure sensor shell. The main materials are aluminum alloy, alloy steel and stainless steel.
Strain gauge: The strain gauge pressure is an important part of the sensor. Commonly used strain gauge base material adopts polymer film material. The strained material is usually high-purity constantan. The strain gauge is attached to the elastic body through dehydration. The elastic body is deformed by force. The strain gauge then deforms. Thereby changing the resistance value.
Measurement circuit: Transform the resistance change of the strain gauge into a millivolt signal output through the Wheatstone bridge.
Transmission cable: 4-core shielded cable with four wires of red, black, green and white. Red: Power +. Black: Power-. Green: signal +. White: Signal-.

What is the difference between pressure switch and pressure sensor?

Pressure Switch:
As the name suggests, a pressure switch is a switch. It’s just that this switch is the pressure set in advance. When the measured medium reaches this pressure level, the switch can automatically turn on or off. The pressure switch must be given a pressure value in advance. Then turn the switch on or off. They are used for simple control and are all digital outputs.
Pressure Sensor:
The pressure sensor can output not only analog signals but also digital signals. Digital signal processing is more convenient, and remote transmission is also possible. The pressure sensor is composed of a pressure sensitive element and a conversion circuit. Use the pressure of the measured medium to produce a small change in current or voltage output on the pressure sensitive element.

The price of gas pressure Transducers is mainly affected by the following factors:

  1. Measuring medium
  2. Does the gas contain particles?
  3. Gas temperature
  4. Gas corrosive
  5. Explosion-proof performance
  6. Interface size

Natural gas pressure Transducer is 4-20mA current output sensors for monitoring the pressure of natural gas. Measure very low inlet and output pressure or very high natural gas bottle pressures. Where there is the potential for natural gas to be present in the local atmosphere, special approval options such as ATEX intrinsic safety are available.

What pressure sensor is used on the natural gas pipeline?

  1. Natural gas pipelines are pipelines that transport natural gas (including associated gas produced in oil fields) from mining sites or treatment plants to urban gas distribution centers or industrial enterprise users, also known as gas pipelines.
    Using natural gas pipelines to transport natural gas is the only way to transport large amounts of natural gas on land. Natural gas pipelines account for about half of the total pipeline length in the world.

Extended reading: Flat Pressure Sensor for High Viscosity Fluids

Flush diaphragms appear flush from the surface, so they are called flush diaphragms.

A flush diaphragm is a diaphragm that is fully open and exposed to the pressure medium. The flush diaphragm is level or slightly recessed with the surrounding surface when installed.

The purpose of the flush membrane is to prevent the viscous medium from blocking the pressure hole, or to use a special material for better measurement with the medium to avoid damage to the sensor chip material, etc.

In short, the way to measure or protect the sensor according to the specific application

Flush pressure sensor refers specifically to Pressure Sensors with Flush Diaphragms. Pressure transmitters and transducers with open flush diaphragms suitable for use with highly viscous media such as plastics, paper pulp, bitumen, sewage, paint and adhesives.

Extended Reading: MEMS Pressure Sensors

Flushing connection is different from the common internal diaphragm pressure measurement method.

Internal diaphragm is the industry standard for most gaseous and liquid media because it is inexpensive and easy to handle.

However, once it encounters the measurement of viscous media, or in the case of high hygiene requirements. Keeping the Flushing connection can effectively avoid blockage. And meet the sanitary cleaning requirements.

Flush Mount Diaphragm can be:
Clamp flat film installation, threaded flat film installation, or flange flat film installation. Sometimes there are customers who need special cavityless flat membranes.

Clamp Flush Membrane Pressure Sensor

The clamp type adopts a silicone oil filling technology, and the pressure felt by the diaphragm is transmitted to the pressure chip through the silicone oil. The compensation circuit corrects the pressure signal to a linear electrical signal.

The stressed diaphragm on the end face of the clamp is exposed to directly feel the pressure. Prevents scaling, unsanitary and sticky pressure clogging problems. It is widely used in hygiene industries such as food, medicine, brewing and other occasions where the measuring medium may be fouled.

Threaded flush membrane pressure sensor

The threaded flush Diaphragm pressure transmitter uses a flat membrane to directly sense the pressure signal. The diffusion silicon pressure core is used as the sensitive element. The standard silicone oil or olive oil is used as the pressure transmission medium.

The measuring end is made of 316L stainless steel, and the flush isolation diaphragm is specially welded. Compact structure, corrosion resistance, vibration resistance, wide temperature compensation.

Flange flush Diaphragm pressure transmitter

  • Shell optional;
  • flange mounting;
  • Two-wire system, 4~20mA analog output, HART® protocol digital communication;
  • Smart LCD head with backlight;
  • Large-size diaphragm, fully welded and sealed, long-term reliability and durability;
  • For pressure measurement of gas, liquid, steam;
  • Anti-corrosion diaphragm is optional (tantalum, Kazakhstan C, 316L, 316L sprayed with PTFE);
  • Especially suitable for high temperature viscous liquid;

Cavityless flush Diaphragm pressure transmitter

Cavityless flush Diaphragm pressure transmitter

The cavityless flush Diaphragm pressure transmitter adopts a high-precision foil strain gauge and has no cavity to measure the diaphragm. It is especially suitable for measuring liquids with high viscosity.

The product adopts an improved and optimized installation structure, which makes the product have good anti-vibration ability.

Equipped with a variety of characteristic amplifying circuits, such as anti-interference, high temperature resistance, intrinsically safe explosion-proof, etc., making the modification suitable for various measurement and control occasions such as oil fields and food.

Working Principle

Flush diaphragm pressure sensors use processes such as diffusion or ion implantation to form resistors and connect them to a Wheatstone bridge. Micro-machining technology is used to form a pressure-sensitive diaphragm under the bridge. When pressure is applied to the diaphragm, the resistance value changes and a linearized output signal is generated that is proportional to the applied pressure. When we add DC power to the Wheatstone bridge, a DC voltage signal will be output. After the second conversion line, the two-wire system 4 ~ 20MA output is realized.

When to Use a Flush Diaphragm Pressure Connection?

In short, there are two cases, we can first consider Flush Diaphragm Pressure Connection.

The first is hygienic applications. Such as Pharmaceutical, Food, Beverage & Biotech.

For these applications the concern is not necessarily high viscosity but more to do with cleanliness. The wetted part of the Flush Diaphragm Pressure Sensor is flat. No holes, no ripples. This way, residue-free cleaning is easy.

The second is High Viscosity Liquids or Crystals.

Substances such as paints, oils, waxes, pastes, tars, plastic melts or slurries can clog the process connections of the pressure sensor.

The media may be too hard to adequately fill the internal voids of the pressure connector. Or once the process cools, the substance may wax. For these types of substances, it is necessary to specify a flushing connection in which the diaphragm is fully open.

Some pressure transducers have the option of flush-embedded diaphragms where mechanical damage to the diaphragm is a concern.

WIKA has a great video on When to use a front-flush pressure connection? Let’s take a look.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

In short, a pressure sensor converts pressure into a small electrical signal, which is sent and displayed. Therefore, these are also commonly referred to as pressure transmitters. Two common signals used are 4 to 20 mA signals and 0 to 5 volt signals.

Most pressure sensors work using the piezoelectric effect. This is when the material generates a charge in response to stress. This stress is usually compressive, but may be twisted, bent, or vibrated.

Pressure sensors detect pressure and can determine the amount of pressure by measuring the charge.

The pressure sensor needs to be calibrated in order to know what voltage or milliamp (mA) signal corresponds to what pressure. This is the basic “zero” and “span” calibration or minimum and maximum, which is a common job for maintenance personnel.

Pressure sensors are mainly divided into two types: semiconductor piezoresistive type and electrostatic capacity type. Below we introduce their principles.

Semiconductor piezoresistance type:
The semiconductor piezoelectric impedance diffusion pressure sensor forms a semiconductor deformation pressure on the surface of the sheet. The sheet is deformed by an external force (pressure) to produce a piezoelectric impedance effect. The change in impedance is converted into an electrical signal.

Capacitance type:
The electrostatic capacitance type pressure sensor is a capacitor that opposes the fixed pole of glass and the movable pole of silicon to form a capacitance. It converts the change in electrostatic capacity generated by deforming the movable pole by external force (pressure) into an electrical signal.

A pressure sensor (Pressure Transducer) is a device or device that can sense the pressure signal and convert the pressure signal into a usable output electrical signal according to a certain rule.

Application Analysis of Intelligent Pressure Transmitter

Intelligent Pressure Transmitter is also called smart pressure transmitter.

Current intelligent pressure transmitters are generally hybrid intelligent pressure transmitters that have both digital and analog signals. Communication with DCS is mainly based on passing 4-20mA analog signals. Then superimpose digital signals on them for remote Set the zero point, range, and calibration, configuration, and diagnostics of the transmitter. It is only designed to be compatible with the existing DCS. Smart pressure transmitter is a transition product of true all-digital smart pressure transmitter (such as field bus type intelligent pressure transmitter).

As far as the composition structure of intelligent pressure transmitters widely used in the market is concerned, it mainly includes devices such as microprocessors, sensors, digital-to-analog converters, and memories. Different devices play different automatic control functions. The sensors are mainly aimed at The measured signal is detected. There are some differences in the materials designed in the specific application. As the core part of the entire device, the microprocessor is mainly used for comprehensive analysis and calculation of the relevant data collected by the device. Unit conversion, fault diagnosis, range adjustment, function calculation, etc. are performed for the detection signal. The function of the memory is to implement the configuration for the relevant data and programs in the microprocessor. At present, most of the memory used by people have the function of rewriting and adjusting. Related converters are mainly responsible for the interchange of digital signals related to analog signal machines. Smart pressure transmitters can communicate with DCS by outputting a series of digital signals. A reserve power supply is also set in the transmitter, which can prevent the memory data from being lost in the event of a power failure. According to the different types of sensors used in smart pressure transmitters, the transmitters can also be classified into capacitive, diffused silicon strain, and diffused silicon resonant types.

Main Features of Smart Pressure Transmitters

Compared with conventional analog transmitters, smart pressure transmitters have many characteristics. Take Rostman smart pressure transmitters as an example. The characteristics of this pressure transmitter are mainly concentrated on the following points:

1. Wide range and large range ratio

Intelligent pressure transmitters generally have a wide measuring range. The measuring range ratio is large, from 30: 1 to 100: 1, and some even reach 400: 1. The measuring range ratio of the transmitter refers to the maximum measurement range (URV) and the minimum measurement Range (LRV) ratio. Because the intelligent pressure transmitter has a wide measuring range, compared with conventional analog pressure transmitters, the biggest advantage is that it can reduce the inventory. At the same time, according to the process requirements, the measuring range can be changed at any time without following the meter change, without having to change the meter. Don’t worry about exceeding the range.

2.Simple and convenient maintenance

The handheld communicator can be used to communicate with the intelligent pressure transmitter at the terminal of the field transmitter or at the terminal in the control room of the main control room. In this way, the instrument maintenance personnel can perform range modification, parameter setting, and instrument maintenance on the transmitter in a relatively safe and relatively good control room.

3.With high and low voltage side conversion function

Intelligent pressure transmitters generally have high- and low-pressure side conversion functions of the sensor, and the internal parameters can be adjusted with a handheld communicator. I encountered such a problem in production. Because the meter has been running for many years, the pressure guiding tube connected to the transmitter needs to be replaced due to leakage. When the meter is put into operation after replacement, it is found that the positive and negative phase pressure guiding tubes are reversed (because the pressure guiding tube is long , And there is a heat tracing tube together, the positive and negative phases are easily reversed). The intelligent pressure transmitter has high and low pressure side conversion functions, as long as the parameter items in the table are changed from NORMOAL (high pressure on the right side, low pressure on the left side) to REVERSE (low pressure on the right side, high pressure on the left side). After reconfiguring the table, Everything works fine, saving time and effort.

4. With fixed output function

This function is more convenient to use in the following situations: When the transmitter fails, in order to ensure the safety of production equipment and personnel, or to ensure product quality, the transmitter output needs to be a fixed value. After the annual overhaul, due to the meter All links in the control circuit have been overhauled. The entire circuit needs to be co-calibrated before driving. At this time, the fixed output function of the intelligent transmitter can be used by the hand programmer. Generally, any value between 3.8-21.6mA can be set, and the whole circuit where it is located is cascaded.

In addition, the intelligent pressure transmitter has the characteristics of high accuracy, good stability and high reliability.

Application Analysis of Intelligent Pressure Transmitter

Used as a reminder of impulse pipeline problems

In general, the intelligent pressure transmitter is connected to the process through a small-diameter pipe, and this management is the impulse pipeline. In some applications, such impulse lines may be blocked by materials or frozen due to cold weather. These blockages may cause difficulties in transmitting pressure signals. In this case, the use of conventional pressure transmitters cannot be used to understand this clogging problem. The main reason is that in the case of a blockage problem, there is a certain difference between the signal indicated by the transmitter and the signal provided before the blockage occurred. It must be ensured that the output of the transmitter does not change with the actual flow rate change before it can be found The problem. It has been found in practice that if one or two impulse lines are blocked during some flow measurement processes, the standard deviation at a specific flow will change greatly. The intelligent pressure transmitter can effectively detect such changes. In this way, the blocking position of the impulse pipeline can be controlled in time, which facilitates fault finding and avoids increasing problems.

For flame instability detection in refining furnaces

In many chemical fields, refining furnaces are important equipment. Incineration of different chemical production waste gases is required. Because many BTUs coexist, the flame stability is not very good, which is also an important sign that the refining furnace is out. The application of intelligent pressure transmitter can measure the noise of the fire control pressure in the room. The transmitter can be used to detect the flame stability. The general measurement accuracy is relatively high, and it can detect the abnormal signal in the refining furnace. . Convenient staff to correct equipment problems in time to avoid flameout.At present, smart pressure transmitters are also used in related fields to a certain extent, which belongs to the category of precision instruments. In many fields of application, smart pressure transmitters can accurately detect related signals and data information, find abnormalities in time, and facilitate Find and repair the corresponding faults. It is helpful to reduce system failures and improve system operation efficiency.

What is the principle of pressure transmitter?

Like other transmitters, a pressure transmitter consists of electronics connected to a sensor. We can find transmitters with many types of pressure sensors on the market – capacitive, piezoelectric, resonant silicon, and more.
So pressure applied to capacitive cells will produce a change in the capacitance of the sensor. This change will affect the oscillator frequency, and the pressure transmitter will detect this change. Then the transmitter translates this data into a standard output signal that we can read.
Using a local setup or a handheld, you can adjust the transmitter, changing information like the unit, measuring range, and output.

Industrial pressure transmitters Working Principle

Principle and Application of Diffusion Silicon Pressure Transmitter

The pressure of the measured medium directly acts on the diaphragm of the sensor (stainless steel or ceramic). Causing the diaphragm to generate a micro-displacement proportional to the pressure of the medium. The resistance value of the sensor changes. The electronic circuit detects this change and converts and outputs a standard measurement signal corresponding to this pressure.

Principle of capacitive pressure transmitter

Capacitive pressure transmitter is mainly composed of capacitance sensor and circuit board. The sensor implements pressure-capacitance conversion. The circuit board converts the capacitance to a two-wire 4-20mA.

When the process pressure is applied to the isolation diaphragm from both sides (or one side) of the measuring chamber, it is transferred to the central diaphragm of the chamber through the silicone oil filling liquid. The central diaphragm is a diaphragm with tensioned edges.

Under the action of pressure, a corresponding displacement is generated. This displacement creates a change in differential capacitance!

And through the adjustment, oscillation and amplification of the electronic circuit board! Converted into 4-20mA signal output! The output current is directly proportional to the process pressure!

Types of Pressure Transmitters

Depending on the type of pressure to be measured:

Pressure transmitter types include gauge pressure, absolute pressure, and differential pressure. Gauge pressure refers to the pressure that is less than or greater than atmospheric pressure based on the atmosphere. Absolute pressure refers to the absolute zero pressure as the reference and is higher than the absolute pressure. Differential pressure refers to the difference between two pressures.

According to the working principle of the Industrial pressure transmitters:

  • Strain Gauge Pressure Transducers
  • Capacitance Pressure Transducers
  • Potentiometric Pressure Transducers
  • Resonant Wire Pressure Transducers

Electrical Output of Pressure Transducers

Pressure transmitters are generally available with three types of electrical output. Millivolt, amplified voltage and 4-20mA. Below is a summary of the outputs and when they are best used.

Extended Reading: 4-20ma pressure transducer wiring diagram

Millivolt Output Pressure Transducers

A sensor with a millivolt output is usually the most economical pressure sensor. The output of a millivolt sensor is nominally about 30mV. The actual output is proportional to the input power or excitation of the pressure sensor. If the stimulus fluctuates, the output will change.

Because of this dependence on the level of excitation, a regulated power supply is recommended for millivolt sensors. Because the output signal is so low, the transducer should not be placed in an electrically noisy environment. The distance between the transducer and the reading instrument should also be kept relatively short.

Voltage Output Pressure Transducers

Voltage output transducers include integral signal conditioning, which provides higher output than millivolt transducers. The output is usually 0-5Vdc or 0-10Vdc. Although model-specific, the output of the transducer is usually not a direct function of the stimulus. This means that as long as the regulated power supply falls within the specified power range, it is usually sufficient. Because of their higher output levels, these sensors are not as susceptible to electrical noise as millivolt sensors and can therefore be used in more industrial environments.

4-20 mA Output Pressure Transducers

These types of sensors are also called pressure transmitters. Because 4-20mA signals are least affected by electrical noise and resistance in the signal line, these sensors are best used when signals must be transmitted over long distances. These sensors are typically used in applications where the lead must be 1000 feet or more.

Industrial Applications of Pressure Transmitters

Pressure transmitters are mainly used in the following areas:

  1. Petroleum, petrochemical, chemical. Matching with throttling devices to provide accurate flow measurement and control. Measures pressure and level in pipes and tanks.
  2. Electricity, city gas. And other companies and businesses require high stability and high precision measurement and other places.
  3. Pulp and papermaking are used in places that require chemical-resistant liquids and corrosion-resistant liquids.
  4. Steel, non-ferrous metals, and ceramics are used in furnace pressure measurement and other places that require high stability and high precision measurement. They are also used in places that require stable measurement under strict control (temperature, humidity, etc.).
  5. Machinery and shipbuilding, used to strictly control the place where high precision is required for stable measurement.

Pressure Transmitters VS Pressure Sensors VS Pressure Transducers

A pressure sensor is a device or device that can sense a pressure signal and convert the pressure signal into a usable output electrical signal according to a certain rule.

A pressure sensor usually consists of a pressure-sensitive element and a signal processing unit. According to different test pressure types, pressure sensors can be divided into gauge pressure sensors, differential pressure sensors and absolute pressure sensors. A pressure sensor is the core part of pressure transmitter.

In a pressure transducer, a thin-film or piezo-resistive pressure sensor is mounted on a process connection. The transducer converts pressure into an analog electronic output signal, typically as a millivolt per volt output. These signals are not linearized or temperature compensated.

A pressure transmitter has additional circuitry that linearizes, compensates, and amplifies the signal from a transducer. The different signal types are typically voltage signals (eg, 0 to 5 or 0 to 10 volts), milliamp (eg, 4 to 20 milliamp), or digital. The instrument then can transmit the signal to a remote receiver.

If you still don’t know how to choose the right pressure transmitter. Please feel free to contact our sales engineers. We will provide you with the best pressure measurement and control solution.

Guidelines for Troubleshooting Pressure Transmitters

When this happens, you should consider: Is the pressure source itself stable? The degree of anti-interference ability of the instrument or pressure sensor. Is the sensor wiring normal? The sensor itself is vibrating and the cause of the failure. Is the polarity of the power supply reversed?

Check the degree of pressure variable; make 4-20mA output adjustment.

Check the transmitter’s power supply voltage, calibration equipment and set values (4mA and 20mA points). Check whether the pressure interface is leaking or blocked. Check the wiring mode and power supply. If normal, check if the sensor has zero output. Or Perform a simple pressurization to see if the output changes. If there is a change, the sensor is not damaged.

Check if pressure transmission is blocked; check calibration equipment and adjust sensors; check vehicle damping and electromotive force interference.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

1. Do a 4-20mA trimming first to calibrate the D / A converter inside the transmitter. Since it does not involve sensing components, no external pressure signal source is required.

2. Do a full fine-tuning again to make the 4-20mA, digital reading coincide with the pressure signal actually applied. So a pressure signal source is needed.

3. Finally, do the re-ranging, and adjust the analog output 4-20mA to match the external pressure signal source. Its role is exactly the same as that of the zero (Z) and range (R) switches on the transmitter housing.
The communicator can change the range of the intelligent pressure transmitter. And can adjust the zero point and the range without inputting a pressure source. However, this method cannot be called calibration and can only be called “setting the range”. True calibration requires a standard pressure source input to the transmitter.

Adjusting the range (LRV, URV) without using a standard is not calibration. And ignoring the input part (input transmitter pressure) for output adjustment (transmitter conversion circuit) is not a correct calibration. Furthermore, the relationship between the pressure and differential pressure detection components, the A / D conversion circuit, and the current output is not equal. The purpose of calibration is to find the changing relationship between the three.
Emphasize one point:
Only when the input and output (input transmitter pressure, A / D conversion circuit, loop current output circuit) are debugged together, can it be called a true calibration.

First of all, the parameters that must be seen when purchasing a pressure transmitter are:
Pressure range. Range. Measurement medium. Installation method-threaded flange clamps, etc. Installation dimensions. Temperature. Whether with display. Whether with HART protocol. Output type. Current output or voltage output. Explosion-proof level, protection level. Accessories. Mounting bracket.
The above parameters will affect the price of the pressure transmitter.
Sino-Inst, as the manufacturer of pressure transmitter, offer you with the best price.

The input of the pressure transmitter is a pressure signal. The function of the pressure transmitter is to convert the pressure signal input from the outside into a current or voltage signal.

A pressure transmitter is a device that converts pressure into pneumatic or electric signals for control and remote transmission.

It can convert physical pressure parameters such as gas and liquid sensed by the load cell sensor into standard electrical signals (such as 4~20mADC, etc.). Measurement, indication and process adjustment are carried out by supplying secondary instruments such as indicating alarms, recorders and regulators.

Technical Support

pressure sensor is a device for pressure measurement of gases or liquids.  Pressure sensors can also be used to indirectly measure other variables such as fluid/gas flow, speed, water level, and altitude. Pressure sensors can alternatively be called pressure transducerspressure transmitterspressure senderspressure indicatorspiezometers and manometers, among other names.

From Wikipedia : Pressure sensor

In short, a pressure sensor converts pressure into a small electrical signal, which is sent and displayed. Therefore, these are also commonly referred to as pressure transmitters. Two common signals used are 4 to 20 mA signals and 0 to 5 volt signals.
Most pressure sensors work using the piezoelectric effect. This is when the material generates a charge in response to stress. This stress is usually compressive, but may be twisted, bent, or vibrated.

Pressure sensors detect pressure and can determine the amount of pressure by measuring the charge.

The pressure sensor needs to be calibrated in order to know what voltage or milliamp (mA) signal corresponds to what pressure. This is the basic “zero” and “span” calibration or minimum and maximum, which is a common job for maintenance personnel.

What common types of pressure can you measure with a pressure sensor?

We use three common types in the industry.

  • The first is “gauge pressure”. Measured with reference to atmospheric pressure (typically 14.7 PSI). When above atmospheric pressure, you will display a “positive” pressure; when below atmospheric pressure, you will display a “negative” pressure.
  • The next is “absolute pressure“. In short, this is the pressure relative to an absolute vacuum measurement. The absolute pressure of the full vacuum is zero PSIa and it increases from there. This type of sensor can be used if it is necessary to read pressures below atmospheric pressure.
  • The last type that is usually monitored in the industry is “pressure differential”. It sounds like this, the difference between two pressures, a measured pressure and a reference pressure.

Sino-Inst also provides repair services for pressure sensors. Such as WIKA, Rosemount, and other brands of pressure sensors.

Industrial Applications of Pressure Sensors

Pressure sensors play critical process and quality control roles in industrial applications. Industrial pressure sensors provide a reliable solution for medical, HVAC, and industrial applications. Our sensors are signal-conditioned, calibrated over the entire temperature range. And include digital or analog outputs.

Industrial pressure sensors can be used to measure media, namely different types of gases and liquids:

  • Air
  • Atmosphere / barometric pressure
  • Gas
  • Water
  • liquid
  • Hydraulic / pneumatic
  • Corrosive media

Although many of the above apply to corrosive substances. You can also find sensors specifically designed for measuring corrosive media.

Sensors used in chemical processes may need to withstand exposure to corrosive media such as acids or bases. Many stainless steel enclosures and / or diaphragms can be specified to improve corrosion resistance. They can also withstand corrosion due to atmospheric humidity or water splashes. Or withstand permanent immersion in untreated water or chemical-containing water such as treatment plants or swimming pools.

The corrosion hazard caused by seawater, salt spray or coastal environment exceeds the tolerance of ordinary low grade stainless steel. Housing and diaphragm materials such as super nickel alloys or titanium are generally recommended.

Sensors can also be specified, such as using O-rings made of fluororubber instead of parts made of rubber to increase resistance to aging and corrosion. Alternatively, the diaphragm can be welded to the sensor body to enhance corrosion resistance.

Working principle of Portable Ultrasonic Liquid Level Indicator

The portable ultrasonic cylinder liquid level indicator couples high-frequency ultrasonic pulses generated by the sensor to the outer wall of the container. An ultrasonic signal is then returned from the container wall. Different media attenuate the received ultrasonic signals differently. The received reflected wave generates an electrical signal. The magnitude of the electrical signal can be displayed by the digital value of the LCD on the panel, and the LED corresponding to the liquid level is lit.

Different sensors have different sensitive devices. When measuring, different containers and different liquids will produce slightly different readings, so this reading is not absolute. But the same thing is that when the sensors are connected to the respective inside and outside of the container, the reading of the level indicator will change significantly. In this way, you can determine whether there is liquid at a certain height position in the container by changing the indicator on the instrument and the value displayed on the LCD.

Portable ultrasonic liquid level indicator for Co2

Co2 cylinder specifications (external diameter division):

The CO2 cylinders measured by this meter are divided into the following 4 specifications: 215mm-225mm diameter cylinders. 270mm-280mm diameter cylinders. 345mm-355mm diameter cylinders. 395mm-405mm diameter cylinders. There are no excessive requirements for the height of the medium and the tank.

Co2 cylinder measurement operation:

  1. Select “co2 cylinder”-“Choose a suitable cylinder diameter” through the menu and enter the measurement interface.
  2. Hold the probe vertically and tightly on the tank, and press the <Measure> button to measure.
  3. Measurement results are based on measurement parameters and level indicator lights (red is “no liquid”, green is “with liquid”)
  4. Generally, the measurement is started from the bottom of the storage tank (measurement with liquid position). If the measurement parameter is> = 2, the current level is considered to be a liquid-free position. And <2 is considered to be a liquid level. if it is floating around 2, It is considered that the liquid level of the horizontal plane is approaching the liquid surface (usually about 5 cm).
  5. Take multiple points on the same horizontal plane for measurement. And take the result with the highest probability as the final result (avoid the interference of welds and unknown factors).
  6. Find the liquid level position step by step through the approximation measurement.

Co2 cylinder measurement Note:

Due to the irregular shape of the air outlet and the many welding kits on the top of the carbon dioxide cylinder, the bottom and top measurement results are invalid. (If the fuel tank is full, the top is usually empty).

FAQ

What is ultrasonic level measurement?

Ultrasonic liquid level measurement is non-contact liquid level measurement. Commonly used for non-contact liquid level measurement. Such as tank level, river level, etc.
Based on the principle of ultrasonic time difference, the ultrasonic liquid level sensor is used to complete the ultrasonic liquid level measurement.

How does an ultrasonic level transmitter work?

To put it simply, the ultrasonic wave sent by the ultrasonic sensor hits the bottom of the tank or the liquid surface vertically. The sensor then receives the reflected return signal. The time difference between one trip and one trip back and forth. Through intelligent calculation inside the instrument. The calculation formula is as follows: h = H-v * t / 2. Where: h is the required liquid level height. H is the distance between the ultrasonic probe and the bottom of the container. v is the speed of ultrasonic sound. t is the ultrasonic propagation time. It can be seen that the measurement accuracy of liquid level depends on the measurement accuracy of ultrasonic sound velocity v and ultrasonic propagation time t.

How does water level sensor work?

The water level sensor is an essential component. If not repaired or replaced, a sensor can become damaged over time and fail entirely. Too much water can cause a malfunction and too little water means inadequate water pressure. Either way, repairing or replacing holding tanks is an expensive task you shouldn’t have to undertake because of sub-par sensors.
