Remote Seal Differential Pressure Transmitter

Remote seal differential pressure transmitter is used to prevent medium from entering transmitter. The pressure sensitive diaphragm and the transmitter are connected by a capillary filled with fluid. It is used to measure the level, flow and pressure of fluids, gases or steam.

Remote Seal Differential Pressure Transmitter is often used as a tank level transmitter. The smart pressure transmitter is connected with a stainless steel flange by capillary. The pressure is sensed by a remote transmission device installed on a pipe or container. The pressure is transmitted to the body of the transmitter through the filling silicone oil in the capillary. Then The delta chamber and the amplifying circuit board in the main body of the transmitter convert the pressure or differential pressure to 4 ~ 20mA. The DC signal is output. It can communicate for the setting and monitoring by cooperating with the HART communicator.

Applications of Remote Seal Differential Pressure Transmitter

Remote Seal Differential Pressure Transmitter is a pressure sensor assembly used to prevent the medium in the pipeline from directly entering the transmitter. It is connected to the transmitter by a capillary filled with fluid. It is used to measure the liquid level, flow rate and pressure of liquid, gas or steam. Then it is converted into 4 ~ 20mA DC signal output. The applicable media are as follows:

  1. Viscous medium at high temperature;
  2. Easily crystallized medium;
  3. Precipitation medium with solid particles or suspended matter;
  4. Strongly corrosive or highly toxic medium;
  5. It can eliminate the occurrence of leakage of the pressure guiding pipe and pollute the surrounding environment. It can be avoided when using the isolation liquid. Because of the unstable measurement signal.
  6. Continuously and accurately measure the interface and density;
  7. The remote transmission device can avoid the mixing of different instantaneous media. So that the measurement results truly reflect the actual situation of process changes;
  8. Places with high sanitation requirements;
  9. Such as in the production of food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. Not only does the transmitter contact with the media meet hygienic standards, but it should be easy to rinse to prevent cross-contamination of different batches of media.

Precautions for use:

In the use process, we should pay attention to consider the following situations:

  1. When measuring the liquid pressure, the installation location of the remote pressure transmitter should avoid the impact of the liquid (that is, the water hammer phenomenon). In order to prevent the sensor from being damaged by overpressure.
  2. When the remote pressure transmitter transmitter freezes in winter. The transmitter installed outdoors must take anti-freezing measures. Avoid expansion of liquid in the pressure port due to icing volume. Lead to sensor damage.
  3. When wiring, pass the cable through the waterproof connector (accessory) or the flexible tube and tighten the sealing nut. In order to prevent rainwater etc. from leaking into the transmitter housing through the cable.
  4. When the remote pressure transmitter is used to measure the liquid pressure. The pressure tap should be opened on the side of the process pipe. In order to avoid sedimentation and accumulation of slag.
  5. To prevent the flange liquid transmitter from contacting with corrosive or overheated media. It is also necessary to prevent scum from depositing in the duct;
  6. When measuring the pressure of the gas, the pressure port should be opened at the top of the process pipeline. And the flange level transmitter should also be installed in the upper part of the process pipeline. In order to quickly deposit the deposited liquid into the process pipeline.
  7. The remote pressure transmitter should pay attention to that the pressure guiding tube of the sensor should be installed in a place with small temperature fluctuation.
  8. When measuring the steam or other high temperature medium of the remote pressure transmitter, it is necessary to connect a condenser such as a buffer tube (coil tube). The operating temperature of the transmitter should not be exceeded.

Remote Seal Differential Pressure Transmitters Working Principle

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:

  1. Separation of the measuring instrument from the process medium
  2. Transfer of the pressure to the measuring instrument

You may like: Diaphragm pressure gauge

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.

What are the advantages of diaphragm seals?

Diaphragm seals offer the advantage that the “contact surface” between pressure medium and diaphragm is relatively large. Thus ensuring accurate pressure measurement, especially for very low pressures (< 600 mbar). Furthermore, they can be easily dismounted, e.g. for cleaning or calibration purposes.

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.

Diaphragm type level transmitter working principle

Smart differential pressure transmitters are often used to measure liquid level, flow rate, etc. Differential pressure transmitter cooperates with sealing diaphragm, capillary, etc.

The differential pressure type liquid level gauge uses the principle that when the liquid level in the container changes, the static pressure generated by the liquid column also changes accordingly, as shown in the figure.

For closed tanks. Set the bottom pressure to P. If the pressure on the liquid surface is P3 and the liquid level height is H, then:
P = P3 + Hpg (3-11)
In the formula: p is the medium density; g is the acceleration of gravity.
From the formula ((3-1 “available:
△ P = P-P3 = Hpg (3-12)
Usually the density of the measured medium is known, the pressure difference △ P is proportional to the liquid level height H. The pressure difference on the side will know the measured liquid level height.

When the container under test is open, the gas pressure is atmospheric pressure. The negative pressure chamber of the differential pressure gauge can be vented to the atmosphere. It is known that the pressure gauge can also be used to measure the liquid level at this time.

If the container is closed, you need to connect the negative pressure chamber of the differential pressure gauge to the gas phase of the container.

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.

What is differential pressure transmitter working principle?

The basic principle of a differential pressure transmitter is to divide a space into two chambers with sensitive elements. When introducing pressure into the two chambers respectively. The sensor produces displacement (or displacement trend) under the combined action of the two pressures. This displacement is proportional to the pressure difference (differential pressure) between the two chambers. Convert this displacement into a standard signal output that can reflect the magnitude of the differential pressure.
A differential pressure transmitter is a transmitter that measures the pressure difference between the two ends of the transmitter. Output standard signals (such as 4 ~ 20mA, 0 ~ 5V). Differential pressure transmitters are different from general pressure transmitters in that they have two pressure interfaces. Differential pressure transmitters are generally divided into positive pressure end and negative pressure end. In general, the pressure at the positive pressure end of the differential pressure transmitter should be greater than the pressure in the negative pressure section to measure.

The Piezoresistive Effect

The so-called piezoresistive effect refers to the phenomenon that when the semiconductor is subjected to stress, the energy band changes due to the stress, the energy of the energy valley moves, and its resistivity changes.

It was discovered by C.S Smith in the 1954 test of the resistivity and stress change characteristics of silicon and germanium. Semiconductor piezoresistive sensors have been widely used in aviation, chemical, marine, power and medical sectors.

More about Piezoresistive effect From Wikipedia.

Strain pressure sensor VS piezoresistive pressure sensor

In principle, strain-type pressure sensors are caused by changes in the geometry (length or width) of the strained material caused by external pressure (or tension). This in turn causes the resistance of the material to change. The magnitude of the external force can be measured by detecting this resistance change.

Piezoresistive pressure sensors are usually semiconductor pressure sensitive materials. After the semiconductor piezoresistive sensor is subjected to external forces, its own geometry hardly changes. Instead, its lattice parameters change, affecting the width of the forbidden band. Even a very small change in the width of the forbidden band will cause a large change in carrier density. This eventually causes the resistivity of the material to change.

It can be seen that although both materials exhibit changes in resistance to changes in external force, the principles are different. In addition, the sensitivity of strain-type materials to external forces is much lower than that of semiconductor piezoresistive materials.

The sensitivity of the latter is about 100 times that of the former. The characteristics of strained materials are less affected by temperature. Semiconductor piezoresistive materials are sensitive to temperature.

Piezoresistive pressure sensor advantages and disadvantages

Advantages of piezoresistive pressure sensor:

  1. High frequency response, f0 can reach 1.5M;
  2. Small size and low power consumption;
  3. High sensitivity, good accuracy, can measure to 0.1% accuracy;
  4. No moving parts (the sensitive element is integrated with the conversion element).

Disadvantages of piezoresistive pressure sensor:

  1. Poor temperature characteristics;
  2. The process is complicated.

Techincal Support

Capacitive mems pressure sensor

A MEMS pressure sensor is a thin-film element. It deforms when subjected to pressure, and it can be measured using a strain gauge (piezoresistive sensing). It can also be measured by capacitively sensing the change in the distance between the two surfaces.

Capacitive pressure sensor is a pressure sensor that uses a capacitive sensing element to convert the measured pressure into an electrical output with a certain relationship. The characteristics are: low input energy, high dynamic response, small natural effect, good environmental adaptability.

Capacitive differential pressure sensor

Capacitive differential pressure sensor is filled with silicone oil in the left and right chambers of the measuring diaphragm. When the left and right isolation diaphragms are subjected to high pressure pH and low pressure pL respectively, the incompressibility and fluidity of the silicone oil can transmit the differential pressure Δp = pH-pL Measure the left and right sides of the diaphragm.

Because the measuring diaphragm is pre-tensioned before welding, it is very flat when the differential pressure Δp = 0. It makes the capacitances of the two capacitors on the left and right sides of the fixed plate are completely equal. That is, CH = CL. When there is a differential pressure effect, the measuring diaphragm deforms. That is, the moving electrode plate approaches the low voltage electrode plate. At the same time, it moves away from the high voltage measuring electrode plate. This makes the capacitance CH = CL.

Piezoresistive pressure sensors, also known as diffused silicon pressure sensors, refer to sensors made using the piezoresistive effect of single crystal silicon materials and integrated circuit technology. The single crystal silicon material is subjected to force. The resistivity changes. The electrical signal output proportional to the force change can be obtained through the measuring circuit. Piezoresistive sensors are used for the measurement and control of pressure, tension, pressure difference, and other physical quantities that can be transformed into changes in force. Such as liquid level, acceleration, weight, strain, flow rate, vacuum degree.

How does a piezoresistive pressure sensor work?

Working principle of piezoresistive pressure sensor:
It is the resistance change when the varistor is pressed. It is amplified by the amplifier and calibrated with standard pressure. The pressure can be detected. The performance of the piezoresistive pressure sensor mainly depends on the varistor (ie varistor), the amplifier circuit, and the calibration and aging process in production.

What do piezoresistive sensors measure?

Using the semiconductor piezoresistive effect, various types of piezoresistive sensors can be designed. The piezoresistive sensor has a small volume, a relatively simple structure, and high sensitivity. It can measure micro-pressures of more than ten micropascals, with good dynamic response. Good long-term stability, low hysteresis and creep. High frequency response, easy production, and low cost. Therefore, piezoresistive sensors have been widely used in measuring pressure, differential pressure, liquid level, acceleration and flow.

How do you test a pressure sensor?

There are 3 commonly used detection methods for pressure sensors. Hope it can help you.
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 significant. If there is no change at all, you need to use a pneumatic source to apply pressure.
Through the above method, you can basically detect the condition of a sensor. If accurate testing is required, a standard pressure source is required. Give pressure to the sensor, and calibrate the sensor according to the pressure and the change of the output signal. And when conditions permit, the temperature detection of relevant parameters.
2. Zero point detection. Use the voltage range of the multimeter to detect the zero output of the sensor under no pressure. This output is generally a voltage of mV level. If it exceeds the technical specifications of the sensor, it means that 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. 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.

Ceramic pressure sensor working principle

The corrosion-resistant ceramic pressure transmitter has no liquid transfer. Pressure acts directly on the front surface of the ceramic diaphragm. Make the membrane slightly deformed. Thick film resistors are printed on the back of the ceramic diaphragm and connected to form a closed Wheatstone bridge.

Due to the piezoresistive effect of the varistor, the bridge generates 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 / 3.3 mV / V according to the different pressure ranges, which is compatible with strain gauge transmitters.

Through laser calibration, the transmitter has high temperature stability and time stability. The transmitter comes with temperature compensation of 0 ~ 70 ℃, and can directly contact most media.

Ceramic is a recognized material with high elasticity, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, shock resistance and vibration. The thermal stability of ceramics and its thick film resistance can make its operating temperature range as high as -40 to 135 ° C, and it has high accuracy and stability for measurement. The degree of electrical insulation is> 2kV, the output signal is strong, and the long-term stability is good.

Piezoresistive Pressure Sensor

The piezoresistive pressure sensor is constructed using the piezoresistive effect of single crystal silicon. A single crystal silicon wafer is used as an elastic element, and an integrated circuit process is used on the single crystal silicon membrane. A group of equivalent resistors are diffused in a specific direction of the single crystal silicon, and the resistors are connected into a bridge circuit. The single crystal silicon wafer is placed on Sensor cavity. When the pressure changes, the single crystal silicon produces strain, so that the strain resistance directly diffused thereon changes proportional to the measured pressure. Then the bridge circuit obtains the corresponding voltage output signal.

Frequently

Questions

The ceramic pressure sensor is mainly composed of three parts: ceramic ring, ceramic diaphragm and ceramic cover.

The ceramic diaphragm is used as a sensitive elastomer. It is made of 95% AL2O3 porcelain. It is required to be flat, uniform and dense, and its thickness and effective radius depend on the design range.

The ceramic ring is formed by hot die casting process at high temperature.

High temperature glass paste is used between the ceramic diaphragm and the ceramic ring. They are fired together by thick film printing and thermal firing techniques to create a force-sensitive cup-shaped elastomer with a perimeter support. That is, a rigid structure without creep should be produced in the peripheral fixed part of the ceramic.

On the upper surface of the ceramic diaphragm, that is, the bottom of the porcelain cup and tea set, the circuit of the sensor is made by thick film technology.

The circular groove in the lower part of the ceramic cover creates a corresponding gap between the cover and the diaphragm. Limits prevent rupture of the diaphragm due to excessive bending when overloaded, resulting in overload protection of the sensor.

There are many types of pressure sensors. Such as resistance strain gauge pressure sensor, semiconductor strain gauge pressure sensor, piezoresistive pressure sensor, inductive pressure sensor, capacitive pressure sensor, resonant pressure sensor, etc.

The most widely used pressure sensors are:
Diffused silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor,
Ceramic Piezoresistive Pressure Sensors,
sputtered thin film pressure sensor,
capacitive pressure sensor,
High temperature sapphire pressure sensor.
But the most widely used is the piezoresistive pressure sensor. It has a very low price and high accuracy and better linearity characteristics.

A pressure sensor works by converting pressure into an analogue electrical signal.

The demand for pressure measuring instruments increased during the steam age. When pressure sensing technologies were first manufactured they were mechanical and used Bourdon tube gauges to move a needle and give a visual indication of pressure. Nowadays we measure pressure electronically using pressure transducers and pressure switches.

Why use a Dual Pressure and Temperature Sensor?

Temperature and pressure integrated dual-function type: pressure, temperature measurement. The main reason for using dual pressure and temperature sensors is to save space. It can be widely used in the occasions where pressure and temperature need to be measured simultaneously in industrial control detection.

The integrated temperature coefficient organically integrates the temperature sensing element (thermal resistance or thermocouple) with the signal conversion and amplification unit. Thermocouple types are: J, K, E type or PT100 platinum resistance. Integrated structure of temperature and pressure. Simultaneously measure the medium pressure and temperature at the same point. It is suitable for measuring the temperature of the medium while measuring the pressure.

Working principle of Pressure and Temperature sensor

Thermocouples or thermal resistance sensors convert the measured temperature into electrical signals. Then send the signal to the input network of the transmitter. The network contains related circuits such as zero adjustment and thermocouple compensation.

The signal after zero adjustment is input to the operational amplifier for signal amplification. The amplified signal is output with 4-20ma DC current after being calculated and processed by the v / i converter. The other channel is processed by the a / d converter and displayed on the meter header.

There are two types of transmitter linearization circuits, both of which use feedback. For the RTD sensor, use positive feedback to correct it. For the thermocouple sensor, the multi-section broken line approach method is used for correction.
