Flat Pressure Sensor is a type of pressure sensor that specifically refers to the measurement diaphragm without pressure holes. Also known as a flat film pressure sensor.
Flat Pressure Sensor is a special pressure sensor most commonly used in industrial automatic control. It is widely used in the pressure measurement and control of viscous media such as chemical coatings, paints, mud, asphalt, crude oil, etc. It solves the problem that conventional products are easy to block and cannot be used continuously, etc. defect.
The Flat Pressure Sensor elastomer adopts imported materials, diaphragm isolation technology, no pressure holes in the test head, and no viscous medium clogging during the measurement process.
The flat membrane pressure sensor test head adopts the pressure-free mode to ensure that there is no blockage of viscous media during the measurement process, and to ensure that the pressure detection works normally.
It adopts super-large diaphragm design, the core adopts highly sensitive material, diaphragm isolation technology, and integrated structure design.
The medium and high temperature pressure-sensitive chip and heat pipe structure are used in the measurement of high temperature medium, which effectively solves the drawbacks that the electronic components inside the sensor cannot withstand high temperature.
A pressure transducer often called a pressure transmitter, is a transducer that converts pressure into an analog electrical signal.
Although there are various types of pressure transducers, one of the most common is the strain-gage base transducer.
The conversion of pressure into an electrical signal, is achieved by the physical deformation of strain gauges, which are bonded into the diaphragm of the pressure transducer, and wired into a Wheatstone bridge configuration.
Pressure applied to the pressure transducer produces a deflection of the diaphragm, which introduces strain to the gages.
The strain will produce an electrical resistance change proportional to the pressure.
Fluid Pressure Sensors refers to sensors that can be used to measure the pressure of liquid media. Such as measuring pressure of Oil, Fuel and other fluid systems (select a sensor with the appropriate range for your system). Fluid Pressure Sensors have important uses. For example, the direct measurement of pressure in a fluid line. For example, put Fluid Pressure Sensors into the liquid, measure the liquid pressure, and estimate the liquid level. For example, by measuring the differential pressure of Fluid, the flow rate of the pipeline can be calculated.

Throughout his career, Wu Peng has participated in numerous national and international engineering projects.

Resistive pressure transducers are also called resistance pressure transducers. It is a commonly used pressure sensor. Pressure sensors are generally distinguished by principle: capacitive pressure transmitters, resistive pressure transducers, inductive pressure transmitters, semiconductor pressure transmitters, and pressure transmitters for high-frequency measurement. Among them, resistance pressure transmitters are commonly used. Resistance strain pressure sensor is a kind of resistance pressure sensor. It measures the pressure value by the resistance change of the strain gauges bonded to the elastic element.
The functional principle of a resistive pressure transducer is very simple. A pressure sensor converts a mechanical pressure value into a proportional electrical signal. Pressure sensors usually consist of a body and a (thin) diaphragm.
The electrical components of resistance pressure transmitters that feel pressure are generally resistance strain gauges. Resistance strain gauges are sensitive devices that convert the pressure on the measured component into an electrical signal.
The diaphragm is the most important element for pressure measurement and is equipped with strain-sensitive and piezoresistive structures, so-called strain gauges. The diaphragm deflects under pressure.
The most widely used resistance strain gauges are metal resistance strain gauges and semiconductor strain gauges. There are two types of metal resistance strain gauges: filamentary strain gauges and metal foil strain gauges.
Usually, the strain gauge is tightly bonded to the matrix that generates mechanical strain through a special adhesive. When the stress of the matrix changes, the resistance strain gauge also deforms together, which changes the resistance value of the strain gauge. The voltage across the resistor changes.
For example, if a resistor is connected to a Wheatstone measurement bridge, an electrical signal can be measured and transmitted to the indicator.
Let’s talk about the classification of transmitters:
According to the working principle of the sensor, it can be divided into resistance, capacitance, inductance, semiconductor, etc.;
According to the classification of sensor chips, it can be divided into metal, ceramic, diffused silicon, sapphire, etc.;
According to the measurement range, it can be divided into differential pressure, gauge pressure, absolute pressure, high static pressure and differential pressure, etc.;
Resistive pressure transducers are the most widely used transmitters and have the advantages of high cost performance and good linearity characteristics.
Resistive pressure transducers are generally divided into metal, ceramic, and diffused silicon according to pressure-sensitive components.
The difference between the three:
The metal pressure transmitter has poor accuracy, but the temperature effect is small, and it is suitable for fields with a wide temperature range and low accuracy requirements.
The accuracy of ceramic pressure sensors is better, but it is greatly affected by temperature. Another advantage of ceramics is impact resistance and corrosion resistance.
Diffusion silicon pressure transmitter has high precision and large temperature drift, so it is generally necessary to perform temperature compensation before it can be used. And even after temperature compensation, pressures above 125°C cannot be measured. However, under normal temperature conditions, the sensitivity coefficient of diffused silicon is 5 times that of ceramics. Therefore, it is generally used in the field of high-precision measurement, but the accuracy is low in the micro-range.
Piezoresistive pressure sensor refers to a sensor made by using the piezoresistive effect of single crystal silicon material and integrated circuit technology.
After the single crystal silicon material is subjected to the force, the resistivity changes, and the electrical signal output proportional to the force change can be obtained through the measurement circuit.
It is also known as a diffused silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor. It is different from the adhesive strain gauge, which needs to indirectly feel the external force through the elastic sensitive element, but directly feels the measured pressure through the silicon diaphragm.
Capacitive pressure transducer (capacitive type pressure transducer) is a pressure sensor that uses capacitive sensing elements to convert the measured pressure into an electrical output that has a certain relationship with it. The characteristics are that the input energy is low, the dynamic response is high, the natural effect is small, and the environmental adaptability is good.
It generally uses a circular metal film or a metal-plated film as an electrode of the capacitor. When the film is deformed by pressure, the capacitance formed between the film and the fixed electrode changes. By measuring the circuit, the output voltage has a certain relationship with the voltage. electric signal.
The differential pressure transmitter is a transmitter that measures the pressure difference between the two ends of the transmitter, and outputs a standard signal (such as 4~20mA, 0~5V).
Differential pressure transmitters are different from general pressure transmitters in that they have 2 pressure interfaces. Differential pressure transmitters are generally divided into positive pressure ends and negative pressure ends.
In general, the pressure at the positive pressure end of the differential pressure transmitter should be greater than the pressure at the negative pressure section to measure.
The differential pressure transmitter is used to prevent the medium in the pipeline from directly entering the transmitter, and the pressure-sensitive diaphragm and the transmitter are connected by a capillary filled with fluid.
It is used to measure the liquid level, flow and pressure of liquid, gas or steam. Then convert it into 4~20mA DC signal output.
Potentiometric pressure transducers are usually used for displacement, level and angle measurement.
The measured component is connected to the rotating shaft (or sliding arm) of the potentiometer through a certain mechanical transmission part. When the measured change changes, the sliding arm moves, and the resistance from the center of the potentiometer to the two fixed ends changes differentially.
The resistance change of the potentiometer can be converted into a voltage change output through a voltage divider circuit or a bridge circuit, and after A/D conversion, the measured physical quantity can be accurately measured. !
The hydraulic pressure transducer is mainly used in the pressure measurement of industrial equipment such as construction machinery, special equipment, compressors, injection molding machines, and servo equipment. It has good waterproof, small size and high cost performance. It is easy to install. The whole structure is made of stainless steel, which has good sealing, vibration resistance and stable and reliable performance.
Hydraulic pressure transducer is the extension and development of pressure transmitter technology. According to the principle that the pressure generated by different specific gravity liquids at different heights is linear. Realize the accurate measurement of the volume, liquid height and weight of water, oil and paste. Measure and transmit.
Strain Gauge Pressure Transducer Working Principle
The strain gauge pressure transducer works based on the principle of resistance strain effect.
There are two types of resistance strain gauges: metal strain gauges (wire or metal foil) and semiconductor strain gauges. The measured pressure strains the strain gauge.
When the strain gauge produces compressive strain, its resistance decreases. When the strain gauge produces tensile strain, its resistance increases.
The resistance value of the strain gauge changes, and then the corresponding millivolt-level potential output is obtained through the bridge circuit. The measured pressure is displayed by a millivoltmeter or other recording instruments. Thus, a strain gauge pressure gauge is formed.
Strain gauge structure: It consists of three parts: strain sensitive element, substrate and cover layer, and lead wire. Strain-sensitive elements are generally composed of metal wires and metal foils (high resistivity materials), which convert mechanical strain into changes in resistance. The substrate and cover layer serve to fix and protect sensitive components, transmit strain and electrically insulate.
Resistance strain pressure sensor structure: diaphragm type, cylinder type, combined type. Among them, the diaphragm type is suitable for low pressure measurement; the cylinder type is suitable for high pressure measurement.
The working mode of the resistance strain pressure sensor: the change of resistance is converted into the output of current or voltage signal through the unbalanced bridge.
Using a multimeter to test the pressure sensor can only perform simple tests, and the test results are only for reference. There are roughly three tests that can be performed:
Bridge detection: It mainly detects whether the circuit of the sensor is correct. Generally, it is a Wheatstone full-bridge circuit, which uses the ohm gear 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 of the pressure sensor. impedance. If the impedance is infinite, the bridge is disconnected. It means that there is a problem with the sensor or the definition of the pin is not correctly judged;
Detection of zero point: Use the voltage range of the multimeter to detect the zero output of the sensor without applying pressure. This output is generally a mV level voltage. If it exceeds the technical specifications of the sensor, it means that the zero point deviation of the sensor is out of range;
Pressure detection: The method of checking the order is: supply power to the sensor, blow the air guide hole of the pressure sensor with the mouth, and use the voltage range of the multimeter to detect the voltage change at the output end 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 will need to switch to an air pressure source to apply pressure.
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.

Fluid Pressure Sensors refers to sensors that can be used to measure the pressure of liquid media. Such as measuring pressure of Oil, Fuel and other fluid systems (select a sensor with the appropriate range for your system). Fluid Pressure Sensors are also called liquid pressure sensor or liquid pressure transducer. Fluid Pressure Sensors have important uses. For example, the direct measurement of pressure in a fluid line. For example, put Fluid Pressure Sensors into the liquid, measure the liquid pressure, and estimate the liquid level. For example, by measuring the differential pressure of Fluid, the flow rate of the pipeline can be calculated.
An instrument for measuring fluid pressure. Usually the measured pressure is compared to a reference pressure (such as atmospheric pressure or other given pressure), thus measuring the relative pressure or pressure difference.
According to the working principle, it can be divided into three types: liquid column, elastic and sensor.
The principle of the pressure sensor is to convert the pressure signal into an electrical signal. Such as strain type, elastic element deformation caused by resistance change. Piezoelectric, the use of piezoelectric effect.
Various pressure sensors can be miniaturized, more accurate and fast to measure, especially to measure dynamic pressure, realize multi-point inspection, signal conversion, long-distance transmission, computer connection, timely processing, etc., so as to develop rapidly and widely used.
Fluid pressure sensors are mainly used in: construction machinery, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, petrochemicals, energy and water treatment, water conservancy and hydropower, compressors and other fields:
In the hydraulic system, the pressure sensor is mainly used to complete the closed-loop control of the force. Extended reading: Hydraulic oil flow measurement solutions.
When the control spool moves suddenly, a peak pressure several times the working pressure of the system will be formed in a very short period of time.
In typical mobile and industrial hydraulics, any pressure sensor can quickly be destroyed if not designed with such extreme conditions in mind.
Shock-resistant pressure sensors are required. There are two main ways for pressure sensors to achieve shock resistance, one is a strain gauge chip, and the other is an external coil. Generally, the first method is used in hydraulic systems, mainly because Easy to install.
Another reason is that the pressure sensor is subject to constant pressure pulsations from the hydraulic pump.
Fluid pressure sensors are often used in safety control systems, such as the safety management system of the air compressor itself.
In the field of security control, the application is generally considered from the performance aspect, as well as the safety and convenience of the actual operation.
The fluid pressure sensor can install some components and signal conditioners and other devices on a very small chip through materials and advanced processing technology. Therefore, its small size is also its advantage. Of course, it can also improve the accuracy of system testing to a certain extent. .
In the safety control system, the pressure brought by the compressor is controlled to a certain extent by installing a pressure sensor in the piping equipment of the air outlet. This is a certain protection measure and a very effective control system.
When the compressor starts normally, if the pressure value does not reach the upper limit, then the controller will open the air inlet and adjust the equipment to reach the maximum power.
Fluid pressure sensors play an important role in injection molds.
It is installed in the nozzle of the injection molding machine, the hot runner system, the cold runner system and the cavity of the mold to measure the distance between the nozzle of the injection molding machine and the cavity during the injection molding, filling, pressure holding and cooling of the plastic. plastic pressure.
There are many kinds of pressure sensors, for the special environment of mine pressure monitoring.
Mine pressure sensors mainly include: semiconductor piezoresistive pressure sensors, metal strain gauge pressure sensors, differential transformer pressure sensors, etc.
The above sensors are widely used in the mining industry, and the specific sensor to be used needs to be selected according to the specific mining environment.
Pressure sensors are commonly used in air compressors, as well as air conditioning and refrigeration equipment. These sensor products are small in size and easy to install. In addition, the pressure guide port generally adopts a special valve needle design.
In physics, the pressure P of a liquid is determined by the relationship: p=pgh.
For the same kind of liquid, the liquid density p is constant. Therefore, the pressure P of the liquid is linearly proportional to the height h of the liquid surface (the height from the liquid surface).
It is not difficult to find that the pressure of the liquid at different heights of the liquid level is also different.
As shown in the figure above, when the pressure sensor is used to measure the liquid level, the pressure sensor is installed at the bottom of the tank. When the liquid level in the tank changes, the height h from the tank bottom to the liquid level also changes at the same time, and the pressure naturally changes accordingly, thus achieving the purpose of continuous measurement.
One of the advantages of using pressure sensors for liquid level measurement is non-contact. Compared with mechanical and static methods, when measuring, it does not require too many parts to contact the liquid, and the installation is relatively convenient.
In addition, in terms of measurement principle, compared with similar non-contact measurement methods such as laser and ultrasonic, the relationship of pressure sensor measurement principle is simpler and linear, and it is more intuitive in data processing, analysis and processing.
The pressure of the fluid is an extremely important parameter in flow measurement. Differential pressure flowmeter uses the pressure difference at both ends of the throttling element to realize flow measurement.
In addition, the working pressure of the flowmeter can be known through pressure measurement, and necessary correction calculations are performed to ensure the accuracy of flow measurement.
If we make the pressure sensor into a submersible sensor, it can be used to measure the depth of the liquid.
The most common fluid depth pressure sensor is what we often call the submersible hydrostatic pressure sensor. Used to measure the depth or level of liquids such as water, fuel.
Hydrostatic level measurement is often used for tank level measurement. Hydrostatic level measurement is one type of continuous level measurement.
Hydrostatic pressure sensors are used to measure the level or fill height of liquids. Hydrostatic pressure measurement is suitable for liquid level measurement due to the static pressure effect of non-flowing fluids. This physical principle describes the effect of the gravity of a stationary (i.e. non-flowing) liquid on the measurement point. This gravity is often described as “hydrostatic pressure”.

Nonlinear error: This is a factor that has little effect on the initial error of the pressure sensor. The reason for the error is the physical nonlinearity of the silicon chip, but for sensors with amplifiers, the nonlinearity of the amplifier should also be included, the linearity error curve can be a concave or convex dynamometer.
Offset error: Since the vertical offset of the pressure sensor remains constant over the entire pressure range, the diffusion variation of the converter and laser trim correction will generate offset errors.
Sensitivity error: The magnitude of the error is proportional to the pressure, if the sensitivity of the device is higher than the typical value, the sensitivity error will be an increasing function of the pressure. If the sensitivity is lower than typical, then the sensitivity error will be a decreasing function of pressure. The cause of this error is a change in the diffusion process.
Hysteresis error: In most cases, the hysteresis error of the pressure sensor can be completely ignored. Because the silicon chip has high mechanical stiffness. Typically, only hysteresis errors need to be considered when pressure changes are large.
Four errors of pressure sensors are inevitable. We can only choose high-precision production equipment. Using high technology to reduce these errors, it is also possible to perform error calibration at the factory and try to reduce errors as much as possible. Therefore, you don’t need to pay too much attention when using it, but try to reduce these errors as much as possible.
Please note that Pressure Transmitter Calibration is required after the pressure transmitter has been used for a period of time. In order to ensure the accuracy of the quantity.
A pressure transducer often called a pressure transmitter, is a transducer that converts pressure into an analog electrical signal.
Although there are various types of pressure transducers, one of the most common is the strain-gage base transducer.
The conversion of pressure into an electrical signal, is achieved by the physical deformation of strain gauges, which are bonded into the diaphragm of the pressure transducer, and wired into a Wheatstone bridge configuration.
Pressure applied to the pressure transducer produces a deflection of the diaphragm, which introduces strain to the gages.
The strain will produce an electrical resistance change proportional to the pressure.
Flow is an important parameter in industrial production and life. The amount of fluid flowing through a section of a pipe per unit time is called instantaneous flow. Instantaneous flow is divided into volume flow and mass flow. A flow sensor is a sensor that measures the flow of a fluid. Flow sensor is an important instrument in measurement technology, it is widely used in industrial process control, life science and technology, commercial application, military and other fields. In recent years, with the development of science and technology and the development of human needs, flow sensors are also constantly developing.
In the hydraulic system, the closed-loop control of the force is mainly caused by the pressure sensor. The working principle of the pressure sensor in the hydraulic system is that the pressure acts directly on the diaphragm of the sensor. Make the diaphragm produce micro-displacement proportional to the medium pressure. Causes the resistance of the sensor to change. And by using an electronic circuit to detect the change, a standard signal corresponding to the pressure is converted and output.

Smart pressure transmitter is also called Smart pressure sensor or Smart pressure transducer. Smart pressure transmitter is the best pressure measuring instrument. It is also used to measure flow, liquid level, etc.
Smart pressure transmitter (Intelligent Transmitter) is composed of sensor and microprocessor (microcomputer). It makes full use of the computing and storage capabilities of the microprocessor. The sensor data can be processed. Including conditioning of measurement signals. Data display, automatic correction and automatic compensation, etc.
The zero point and span adjustment of the transmitter can be adjusted on-site through the buttons of the transmitter itself. It can also be adjusted remotely through a handheld terminal.
The specific method is: add zero pressure and stabilize. Press and hold the Z and S keys at the same time (Z is for zero adjustment, S is for range adjustment) and release for 5 seconds. Press the Z key for 2 seconds to adjust the zero point. After the full pressure is added and stabilized. Press the S key for 2 seconds to adjust the full range.
Note: The adjustment range of zero point calibration is ±8% of the pressure range. The span calibration range is 30% to 100% of the pressure span. Continuously adjustable. After adjustment, close the sealing cap and tighten.
With automatic compensation capability. The nonlinearity, temperature drift, time drift, etc. of the sensor can be automatically compensated by software. It can self-diagnose, and the sensor can be self-tested after power-on. to check whether all parts of the sensor are normal. and make judgments. Data processing is convenient and accurate, and data can be automatically processed according to internal procedures. Such as statistical processing, removal of abnormal values, etc.
With two-way communication function. The microprocessor can not only receive and process sensor data. Information can also be fed back to sensors. The measurement process is thus regulated and controlled. Information storage and memory can be carried out. It can store the characteristic data, configuration information and compensation characteristics of the sensor.
With digital interface output function. The output digital signal can be easily connected with computer or field bus.
Smart Pressure Transmitters/intelligent pressure transmitters are composed of pressure sensors and microprocessors.
It makes full use of the computing and storage capabilities of the microprocessor. It can process the data of the sensor, including the conditioning of the measurement signal (such as filtering, amplification, A/D conversion, etc.), data display, automatic correction and automatic compensation.
Microprocessor is the core of intelligent transmitter. It can not only calculate, store and process the measurement data, but also adjust the sensor through the feedback loop to make the collected data optimal.
Since the microprocessor has various software and hardware functions, it can complete tasks that are difficult for traditional transmitters.
The intelligent pressure transmitter has three forms: voltage output (usually 0-5V), current output (4-20mA), and digital output. The reliability and stability of smart transmitters are very high, but they often encounter communication problems.
Since there was no unified communication protocol standard in the world when the smart transmitter was born, the communication protocols used by transmitters produced by various manufacturers are not the same.
A typical ST3000 such as Honeywell uses the DE protocol. Fisher-Rosement’s 3051 uses the HART protocol. There are also all-digital smart transmitters that follow the fieldbus communication standard.
HART protocol
The intelligent pressure transmitter HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) is a frequency shift keying (FSK) technology based on the Bell 202 communication standard. Digital communication is realized by superimposing the frequency signal on the 4-20mA current.
2 different frequencies: 1200 Hz and 2200H: representing “0” and “1”, superimposed on the 4-20mA DC signal in the form of a sine wave. Because the average value of these sine waves is zero. Therefore, no DC component is generated. It will not affect the 4~20mA process signal. It completes true synchronous communication without interrupting the transmission signal.
The DE protocol of the intelligent pressure transmitter represents “1” and “0” by the amount of pulse current. Digital and analog signals are transmitted separately. When transmitting digital signals, analog signals must be interrupted.
HART communication frequency is high (about 1 ~ 2 kHz). The time constant of the network is required to be no greater than 0.65μs. In this way, the maximum capacitance of HART communication equipment and network limits the maximum distance of communication, which is generally not more than 400m.
Fieldbus Communication Protocol
Fieldbus is defined by IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) as “a digital, serial, multi-point communication data bus between field devices installed in manufacturing and process areas and automatic control devices in the control room. bus.”
It is a fully digital, bidirectional, serial, multi-station communication network, and a pair of wires can transmit a variety of information.
smart pressure transmitter selection
The main basis for the selection of pressure/intelligent pressure transmitters:
The property index of the measured medium shall prevail, and the reference shall be to save money and facilitate installation and maintenance.
If the measured medium is high viscosity, easy to crystallize and strong corrosion, the isolation type transmitter must be selected. When choosing, consider the corrosion of its medium to the metal of the diaphragm. Be sure to choose the material of the diaphragm. Otherwise, the outer diaphragm will be corroded in a short time after use. The flange will also be corroded, causing equipment and personal accidents. So the choice of material is very important.
The membrane box materials of the transmitter include ordinary stainless steel, 304 stainless steel, 316L stainless steel, and tantalum membrane box materials. When selecting, the temperature of the measured medium should be considered. If the temperature is high, it is generally
Pressure transmitters can be categorized into four main types:
Gauge Pressure Transmitter.
Absolute Transmitters.
Differential-Pressure Transmitter.
Multivariable Pressure Transmitters.
The smart pressure sensor is the most widely used sensor, which generally consists of elastic sensing elements and displacement sensing elements.
The function of the elastic sensing element is to make the measured pressure act on a certain area and convert it into displacement or strain. It is then converted into an electrical signal with a certain relationship to the pressure by the displacement sensitive element or strain gauge. Sometimes the functions of these two elements are combined.
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.
Generally speaking, regardless of the type, smart sensors include the following basic features:
self-compensation ability
Self-calibration function
Self-diagnostic function
Numerical processing function
Two-way communication function
Information storage and memory functions
With the development of science and technology, the functions of smart sensors will be gradually enhanced. It will use artificial neural network, artificial intelligence, information processing technology (such as sensor information fusion technology, fuzzy theory, etc.). Empower sensors with more advanced intelligence. It has the functions of analysis, judgment, self-adaptation and self-learning. It can complete complex tasks such as image recognition, feature detection, and multi-dimensional detection.
How the pressure sensor works:
Piezoresistive force sensor: Resistive strain gauges are one of the main components of piezoresistive strain sensors. The working principle of the metal resistance strain gauge is the phenomenon that the resistance value changes with the mechanical deformation of the strain resistance adsorbed on the base material. Commonly known as the resistance strain effect.
Ceramic pressure sensor: Ceramic pressure sensors are based on the piezoresistive effect. Pressure acts directly on the front surface of the ceramic diaphragm. The diaphragm is slightly deformed. Thick film resistors are printed on the back of the ceramic diaphragm. connected as a Wheatstone bridge. due to the piezoresistive effect of the varistor. The bridge produces a highly linear voltage signal proportional to the pressure and also proportional to the excitation voltage. The standard signal is calibrated to 2.0/3.0/3.3mV/V according to different pressure ranges, which can be compatible with strain gauge sensors.
Diffusion silicon pressure sensor: The working principle of the diffused silicon pressure sensor is also based on the piezoresistive effect. Use the principle of piezoresistive effect. The pressure of the measured medium acts directly on the diaphragm of the sensor (stainless steel or ceramic). Make the diaphragm produce a micro-displacement proportional to the medium pressure. The resistance value of the sensor is changed, and the change is detected by the electronic circuit. And convert and output a standard measurement signal corresponding to this pressure.
Sapphire pressure sensor: Using the working principle of strain resistance, using silicon-sapphire as the semiconductor sensitive element, it has unparalleled metrology characteristics. Therefore, semiconductor sensitive elements made of silicon-sapphire are used. It is not sensitive to temperature changes, and has good working characteristics even under high temperature conditions; sapphire has extremely strong radiation resistance. In addition, the silicon-sapphire semiconductor sensitive element has no p-n drift.
Piezoelectric pressure sensor: The piezoelectric effect is the main working principle of piezoelectric sensors. Piezoelectric sensors cannot be used for static measurements. Because of the charge after external force. Saved only if the loop has infinite input impedance. This is not the case in reality, so this determines that the piezoelectric sensor can only measure dynamic stress.
There are many types of sensors that detect pressure.
The most commonly used is the silicon piezoresistive pressure sensor, which has the advantages of high sensitivity, large range, many varieties and reasonable price.

Sino-Inst provides a variety of waterproof pressure sensors that meet IP65-IP67-IP68.
So, what is the IP protection level of the liquid level sensor?
Introduction to Protection Levels
IP is the abbreviation of Ingress Protection. The IP rating is the degree of protection for the enclosure of electrical equipment against the intrusion of foreign objects.
The source is the standard IEC 60529 of the International Electrotechnical Commission.
This standard was also adopted as an American National Standard in 2004.
In this standard, the protection of electrical equipment enclosures against foreign objects.
The format of IP rating is IPXX, where XX is two Arabic numerals.
The first marked number indicates the contact protection and foreign object protection level. The second marked number indicates the waterproof protection level.
IP is the international code used to identify the protection level. The IP level is composed of two numbers. The first number means dustproof. The second number means waterproof. The larger the number, the better the group leader of protection.
In the protection level of the liquid level sensor, the protection level IP68 is the highest level of the waterproof level standard of the connector.
To evaluate the waterproof performance of the waterproof connector, it mainly depends on the two digits XX after the IPXX. The first X is from 0 to 6, and the highest level is 6. The second X is from 0 to 8, the highest level is 8;
Analog signal refers to information represented by a continuously changing physical quantity. The amplitude, or frequency, or phase of the signal changes continuously with time. In engineering, the output analog signal is generally 4-20mA or 1-5V electrical signal.
An analog signal is one in which the information parameters appear as continuous signals within a given range. Or in a continuous time interval. The characteristic quantity of its representative information can be presented as a signal of any value at any instant.
The water pressure transducer is the most commonly used pressure transmitter in the field of industrial automation. It is widely used in pressure measurement and control of water supply equipment, building water supply system, residents, workshops, water conservancy, chemical industry, medical treatment, electric power, air conditioning, diamond press, metallurgy, vehicle braking, etc. The water pressure transmitter will have an immeasurable role in the future automation industry.
The core of the water pressure transmitter is usually made of diffused silicon. The working principle is that the pressure of the measured water pressure acts directly on the diaphragm of the sensor. Make the diaphragm produce a micro-displacement proportional to the water pressure. Change the resistance value of the sensor. and detect this change electronically. And convert and output a standard measurement signal corresponding to the pressure.
You can use a water pressure gauge to connect to the water pipe to measure. Ordinary oil pressure gauges can also be used temporarily, but pay attention to the range. The pressure is generally below 3MPa, which can be roughly estimated in this way.

High Temperature Pressure Transducer is also called High Temperature Pressure Sensor, or High Temperature Pressure Transmitter.
The High Temperature Pressure Transducer is used for applications where the medium temperature exceeds the temperature limits of standard pressure transmitters.
By assembling Cooling Elements of different lengths, the temperature of the measured medium can be further improved. Reasonable and scientific configuration, advanced circuit design and temperature compensation processing fully ensure that the transmitter can work stably for a long time in a high temperature environment.
Examples include high temperature pressure monitoring for steam, food processing and engine monitoring.
The ultra-high temperature pressure transmitter adopts special imported materials, isolated diaphragm design, and water circulation cooling method. The temperature of the measuring medium can reach 1300 ℃.
It is suitable for pressure measurement and control of high temperature media such as engine gas and kiln.
Such sensors are also commonly referred to as: Ultra-high temperature pressure transmitter, ultra-high temperature pressure sensor, fuel pressure sensor, furnace pressure sensor, water-cooled pressure sensor, water-cooled pressure transmitter.
Technical Difficulties in Pressure Measurement at High Temperature
High temperature conditions have certain requirements on the material, process and performance of the pressure transmitter. In order to ensure the measurement of High Temperature Pressure Transducer, we need to pay attention to the following points.
Fully welded pressure transmitter. All connections between capillaries, transmitters and process connections are of fully welded hermetic construction. to eliminate possible leak points.
According to different applications, the amount of filling oil can be precisely controlled. According to the user’s application and the characteristics of different filling oils. After careful calculation. Appropriately reduce the amount of filling oil. To compensate for the expansion effect of the filling oil. For low temperature applications, the amount of filler oil can be appropriately increased according to the specific application. to compensate for the effect of volume shrinkage of the filler oil.
Special oil replenishment and oil discharge treatment. The main purpose of oil pretreatment for filler oil is to reduce dissolved gas content. And in the process of oil filling, vacuum oil filling is used. And strictly control the oil filling amount when the oil reaches the vacuum degree requirement. Guarantee the measurement accuracy of the final product.
In modern technological processes, high temperature pressure transmitters often adopt symmetrical designs. Same diaphragm, same capillary length and same oil-filled fluid on both high and low pressure ends. It is generally believed that when the effect of temperature change acts on the high and low pressure sides of the transmitter. This effect will be eliminated. The effect of temperature on the diaphragm is generally considered to be the most important cause of temperature drift. In fact, the opposite is true.
Using the same length of capillaries on the high and low pressure sides did not improve performance. Instead, it increases the impact of temperature changes on the overall performance of the transmitter.
Pressure transmitters are temperature dependent not only by the amount of temperature change of the diaphragm of the base product. The length of the capillary is also an important factor affecting the temperature change of the transmitter. And the hardness is proportional to the length of the capillary.
The high and low pressure sides use the same capillary length, which is twice the length of the capillary. This increases the effect of temperature on the overall performance of the transmitter.
That is, if the process temperature is 150°C or less and the process conditions allow it. Then remove the high side port capillary and connect directly to the transmitter. The length of the capillary can be shortened. Reduce the impact of temperature changes on transmitter accuracy and response time.
Choose according to the chemical properties of the measuring medium.
The corrosiveness of the same medium with different concentrations at different temperatures is also different.
Diaphragm sealed pressure transmitter, generally the inner diaphragm box is made of stainless steel. Wetted outer capsules are selected according to the characteristics of the medium.
At present, the commonly used materials are 316L, Monel, hafnium alloy and Tan diaphragm. Consider the housing material of the pressure transmitter according to environmental conditions and economy. Shell materials generally include aluminum alloy and stainless steel. If not in highly corrosive environmental conditions. It is more economical to choose aluminum alloy material.
High Temperature Differential Pressure Transmitter
The high temperature differential pressure transmitter is only an instrument that can be used to measure the differential pressure of the medium under high temperature conditions.
It can work stably at 600℃ ultra-high temperature for a long time. Maintain the same high precision, high reliability and high stability as conventional single crystal silicon transmitters. Cost-effective. These three factors are the difficult points of Sino-inst technology research.
The brief principle of remote differential pressure transmitter for measuring 600℃-800℃ ultra-high temperature medium pressure is as follows:
The outer end faces of the connecting flange and the isolation flange are welded with the measuring diaphragm (meeting the requirements of the diaphragm’s resistance to medium corrosion) and the isolation diaphragm (conventional 316L diaphragm).
The heat sink is welded between the connection flange and the isolation flange, and then the ultra-high temperature resistant high-viscosity high-temperature filling liquid is injected to form an ultra-high temperature filling liquid cavity.
Weld the mating flange on the other end of the spacer flange. Connect capillary and pressure transmitter, differential pressure transmitter. Inject low-viscosity high-temperature filling fluid to form an ordinary high-temperature filling fluid cavity.
When working, the pressure of the ultra-high temperature medium is transmitted to the isolation diaphragm through the ultra-high temperature-resistant high-viscosity high-temperature filling liquid.
Then, the pressure of the ultra-high temperature medium is transmitted to the pressure transmitter and the differential pressure transmitter body through the low-viscosity high-temperature filling liquid in the capillary. Realized pressure transmission and measurement.
With high-temperature isolation and heat dissipation, ultra-high temperatures are not directly transferred to low-viscosity, high-temperature fill fluids. Thereby protecting the high temperature remote pressure transmitter and differential pressure transmitter. The pressure measurement of ultra-high temperature medium is realized.
Especially in the power generation system with molten salt as the heat transfer medium. The molten salt temperature as high as 560°C and the corrosiveness of molten salt have put forward higher requirements for pressure transmitters.
Utilizes a combination of ultra-high temperature silicone oil and an internal isolating diaphragm. The application temperature of the site is greatly increased to about 600 ℃. Greatly expands the application range of ultra-high temperature pressure/differential pressure measurement. It can be widely used in coal chemical industry and solar thermal power generation industry.
The selection ideas and methods of 600°C ultra-high temperature remote pressure transmitter/remote differential pressure transmitter are the same as those of conventional single crystal silicon remote pressure transmitter and remote differential pressure transmitter, and will not be repeated here. .
If you encounter high temperature measurement problems, welcome to communicate with Sino-Inst.
Cooling elements should be constructed of stainless steel to provide maximum corrosion resistance to most process media. Female thread 20×1.5 and male thread 20×1.5 are standard. Also supports customized according to customer requirements.
Combined pressure and temperature sensor for Simultaneous measurement of pressure and temperature.
The Combined pressure-temperature sensor uses a special core. Thermocouple types are: J, K, E type or PT100 platinum resistance. Integrated structure of temperature and pressure. Measure the medium pressure and temperature at the same point at the same time. The combined pressure and temperature sensor has a built-in temperature / pressure sensor. The two outputs do not affect each other. Consuming the power of one sensor can complete the pressure and temperature measurement. Widely used in scientific research, military industry, petrochemical, electric power, metallurgical machinery and environmental protection fields. Such as oil well temperature and pressure measurement, diesel engine common rail temperature and pressure measurement, injection machinery temperature and pressure measurement.
Yes. Temperature affects pressure transducers. Temperature has a major impact on the functionality and operating life of most electronic devices. This is especially true for electronic pressure sensors.
This is why pressure sensor specifications generally include small and large values for operation, storage, and compensation of medium temperature. Exceeding these ranges can introduce unexpected errors in pressure readings. Or in extreme cases, leading to the failure of the complete instrument.
Another temperature specification – calibration temperature – can also be included in the data sheet.
High pressure transducer adopts ultra high pressure design. Suitable for high pressure applications up to 15000bar. SI-702S series ultra high pressure pressure transducer can provide reliable ultra-high pressure measurement. Ultra high pressure transmitter adopts rare metal alloy material. After special process treatment, integrated design. All stainless steel welding package. Laser resistance temperature compensation. With high performance digital processing circuit. The factory has undergone high and low temperature aging and long-term fatigue tests. Good long-term stability. Ultra-long working life. Maintain safe and stable operation in the ultra-high pressure range.
This depends on the user’s highest pressure requirements. Our common pressure transmitters also have a certain pressure range. If the customer is ultra-high pressure, such as 700MPa or even higher pressure. Sino-Inst supports customization.

Definition of Static Water Pressure: Static Water Pressure refers to the pressure on water when it is stationary or moving in a straight line at a constant speed. Static Water Pressure is also called hydrostatic pressure. In fluid dynamics, many authors use the term static pressure, not just pressure, to avoid ambiguity. In general, however, the word “static” can be discarded, and the pressure in use is the same as the static pressure at a given point in the fluid.
In the process of industrial process control and technical measurement, because the elastic sensitive element of the mechanical water pressure gauge (Static Water Pressure Gauge) has the characteristics of high mechanical strength and convenient production, the mechanical water pressure gauge is widely used.
The elastic sensing element in the Static Water Pressure Gauge elastically deforms as the pressure changes. Static Water Pressure Gauge adopts spring tube (Bourdon tube), diaphragm, diaphragm, bellows and other sensitive components and is classified according to this. The measured pressure is generally regarded as relative pressure. Generally, the relative point is selected as atmospheric pressure.
The elastic deformation of the elastic element under the action of medium pressure is amplified by the gear transmission mechanism of the water pressure gauge. The water pressure gauge will display the relative value (high or low) relative to the atmospheric pressure.
The pressure value within the measurement range is displayed by the pointer. The indication range of the dial is generally 270 degrees.
It can be divided into precision water pressure gauge and general water pressure gauge. The measurement accuracy levels of precision water pressure gauges are 0.1, 0.16, 0.25, 0.4 and 0.05 respectively. The measurement accuracy levels of general water pressure gauges are 1.0, 1.6, 2.5 and 4.0 respectively.
The pressure generated by the irregular movement of air molecules on the pipe wall is called static pressure.
When calculating, the static pressure with absolute vacuum as the calculation zero is called absolute static pressure. The static pressure at which the atmospheric pressure is zero is called relative static pressure.
The air static pressure in the air conditioner refers to the relative static pressure. The static pressure is positive when it is above atmospheric pressure and negative when it is below atmospheric pressure.
Dynamic pressure, when an object is moving in a fluid, the surface is facing the direction of fluid motion. The fluid is completely blocked, and the fluid velocity here is 0. Its kinetic energy is converted into pressure energy, and the pressure increases. Its pressure is called the total resistance pressure (referred to as total pressure or total pressure, represented by P). The difference between it and the undisturbed pressure (i.e. static pressure, represented by P static) is called dynamic pressure (represented by P dynamic)
The biggest difference between dynamic pressure and static pressure is the different definitions. Static pressure refers to the pressure on the surface of an object when it is at rest or in uniform linear motion. And dynamic pressure is the difference between total pressure and static pressure. They are all within the domain of fluid dynamics.
Both static pressure and dynamic pressure are knowledge in the field of physics. The biggest difference between them is the different definitions. Static pressure refers to the pressure on the surface of an object at rest or in uniform linear motion.
When an object moves in a fluid, the fluid facing the surface of the object is completely blocked. The velocity of the fluid is 0. Then the kinetic energy of the fluid is converted into pressure energy, which increases the pressure on the object. This pressure is called total pressure.
The dynamic pressure is the difference between the above-mentioned total pressure and static pressure.
Both dynamic pressure and static pressure are in the field of fluid dynamics. It is a branch of fluid mechanics. It studies the motion law of fluid under the action of force and its interaction with the boundary.
If Need to measure the pressure of downhole water, you can use a submersible level sensor. The latter two are also commonly used for water level measurement.
“Residual pressure” refers to the residual pressure in the pipeline, gas storage tank, and equipment after the system is shut down, such as boiler steam, air compressor station, etc.
Dynamic water pressure (dynamic water pressure) is the normal force acting on the interface between two parts of the moving liquid or on the contact surface between the liquid and the solid. Also known as the osmotic force.
In the process of water flowing in the soil, it will be affected by the soil resistance, causing the water head to gradually lose. At the same time, the infiltration of water will produce a drag force on the soil skeleton, resulting in changes in the stress and deformation in the soil body. The drag force generated by the soil skeleton is called the seepage force.
In many hydraulic structures, earth dams and foundation pit projects, the size of the seepage force is one of the important factors affecting the safety of the project. cause the construction of the project to be interrupted, and even endanger the safety of adjacent buildings and facilities
The static pressure box is a necessary accessory for the air supply system to reduce the dynamic pressure, increase the static pressure, stabilize the airflow and reduce the airflow vibration. Its function is to change the dynamic pressure into static pressure, evenly distribute the air volume, and mostly used in front of the slit tuyere.
The pressure generated by the irregular motion of air molecules hitting the pipe wall is called “static pressure”. Static pressure is the pressure perpendicular to the direction of fluid movement, and its function is to overcome the resistance in the process of fluid transportation. Then the purpose of establishing a static pressure box is to obtain static pressure.
Total pressure = dynamic pressure + static pressure: the total pressure of the fan is unchanged, and the wind speed decreases, which means that the dynamic pressure becomes smaller, and the static pressure increases.
When supplying air with multiple air ducts, in order to make the air pressure of each air duct the same, it is necessary to establish a static pressure box, so that the dynamic pressure is all converted into static pressure, and then evenly distributed to each air duct.
In the same way, when the multi-air duct returns air, a static pressure box is also required. The air in front of the surface cooler can be fully mixed. Some single air duct air supply pipes are also equipped with static pressure boxes. The purpose is to use the static pressure box to reduce noise. The principle is that the speed of air entering the static pressure box is significantly slower, and the wind noise will be reduced.
The design principle of the static pressure box: the function of the static pressure box is to provide uniform pressure for each branch pipeline. Theoretically, the static pressure inside the static pressure box is equal everywhere. That is to say, the flow rate inside the static pressure box is zero everywhere. The condition for this is that the volume of the plenum is infinite.
This is impossible in engineering projects. Generally, the wind speed in the box can be controlled below 2m/s, or it can be greatly reduced relative to the wind speed of the inlet and outlet ducts.
Hydrostatic pressure is: the normal force acting on the interface between two parts of a stationary liquid or on the contact surface of a liquid and a solid is the pressure exerted by a homogeneous fluid on an object. This is an omnidirectional force and is applied uniformly to all parts of the surface of the object. An increase in hydrostatic pressure reduces the volume of the object under force, but does not change its shape.

Ceramic pressure sensors are sensor diaphragms made of ceramic alumina (Al2O3). Ceramic is a material with high elasticity, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, impact, and vibration resistance. Ceramic has good thermal stability characteristics. High-temperature sintering process for the thick film. The working temperature range of the ceramic pressure sensor is as high as -40~125℃. The high elasticity and creep resistance of ceramics. The ceramic pressure sensor has good long-term stability. Besides, the corrosion resistance of ceramics. It has advantages in the fields of refrigeration, chemical industry, and environmental protection.
The ceramic pressure sensor is mainly composed of a ceramic ring, a ceramic diaphragm and a ceramic cover plate. The ceramic diaphragm acts as a sensitive elastic body. It is made of 95% AL2O3 porcelain. It is required to be flat, uniform and dense. Its thickness and effective radius depend on the design range.
The porcelain ring is shaped by high-temperature firing using a hot die-casting process. High-temperature glass slurry is used between the ceramic diaphragm and the ceramic ring. It is fired together by thick film printing and thermal firing technology. It forms a cup-shaped elastic body with a fixed peripheral edge. That is, a non-creep rigid structure should be formed in the fixed support part of the ceramic periphery.
On the upper surface of the ceramic diaphragm, which is the bottom of the porcelain cup. The circuit of the sensor is made with thick film technology. The circular groove at the lower part of the ceramic cover creates a certain gap between the cover and the diaphragm. The limit can prevent the diaphragm from rupturing due to excessive bending when it is overloaded. Form the anti-overload protection of the sensor.
SI-338 Ceramic pressure sensor uses ceramic or diffused silicon core. All stainless steel package, small and beautiful appearance. Suitable for occasions with limited installation space. Wide range temperature compensation, high accuracy, small size, no adjustment, wide range coverage. Support OEM processing. Ceramic pressure transmitter is used in compressor, air conditioning and other pressure measurement.
Ceramic is a recognized material with high elasticity, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, impact and vibration resistance. The thermal stability of ceramics and its thick film resistors can make its operating temperature range as high as -40 to 135°C. It also has high accuracy and high stability for measurement. Electrical insulation degree>2kV. Strong output signal. Good long-term stability.
Ceramic sensors with high characteristics and low prices will be the development direction of pressure sensors. In Europe and the United States, there is a trend to completely replace other types of sensors. In China, more and more users use ceramic sensors to replace diffused silicon pressure sensors.
Ceramic sensitive diaphragm with high overload capacity;
Zero point and full scale laser calibration;
Excellent anti-corrosion and anti-wear performance;
The corrosion-resistant ceramic pressure sensor has no liquid transmission. The pressure directly acts on the front surface of the ceramic diaphragm, causing the diaphragm to produce a small deformation.
The thick film resistor is printed on the back of the ceramic diaphragm. Connected to form a Wheatstone bridge (closed bridge).
Due to the piezoresistive effect of the varistor, the bridge generates a highly linear voltage signal 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 pressure range. Etc. Compatible with strain gauge sensors.
Calibration by laser. The sensor has high temperature stability and time stability. The sensor comes with a temperature compensation of 0~70℃. It can be in direct contact with most media.
The base material of ceramic pressure sensor is Al2O3 ceramic. According to the principle of realization, it can be divided into capacitive pressure sensor and piezoresistive pressure sensor.
The ceramic substrate and diaphragm are plated with metal and used as electrodes. The two ceramic parts are connected together by a glass seal. Maintain a controllable gap. So that the two metal electrodes form a capacitor.
If pressure is applied. Then the gap between the substrate and the diaphragm will be changed. Thereby changing the capacitance of the sensing element. The pressure-related signal output is formed by the subsequent processing circuit.
Because the edge of the ceramic diaphragm is fixed on the ceramic base. Peripheral support. When the force is applied, the middle deformation becomes larger, and the edge becomes smaller. The capacitance produces nonlinearity and reduces sensitivity.
In order to reduce temperature effects and edge effects. In the design, a circular single electrode is set on the ceramic diaphragm as the common electrode. Two electrodes are arranged on the ceramic cover plate to equalize the area. It forms a coaxial ring-shaped dual-capacitance sensor.
The center is the measurement capacitance Cp. The edge ring is the reference capacitor Cr. The outside of Cr is the fixed side. The subsequent signal conditioning circuit deals with the voltage difference between the two capacitors. The change of Cp and Cr is converted into DC voltage output by using square wave excitation signal. The magnitude of the applied pressure is measured by the difference signal of the two output voltages.
The dual-capacitor structure greatly reduces the nonlinear error of the sensor system. At the same time, when the ambient temperature changes, the two capacitors experience the same temperature change. The temperature effect of temperature on them is consistent. This offsets the measurement error caused by temperature changes. Realize the function of temperature self-compensation.
The piezoresistive pressure sensor is mainly composed of a ceramic ring, a ceramic diaphragm and a ceramic cover plate.
The ceramic diaphragm acts as a sensitive elastic body. On it, a thick film process technology is used to form a Wheatstone bridge as the sensor circuit. Due to the piezoresistive (deformation) effect of the resistor, a voltage signal is generated.
The thick film resistor is printed on the back of the ceramic diaphragm. Connected as a Wheatstone bridge (closed bridge).
When the pressure is zero. The bridge is in a balanced state, and the output voltage is zero.
When pressure is applied to the bridge. The deformation of the diaphragm causes the resistance of the four resistors of the bridge to change. The bridge is in an unbalanced state. Generate a highly linear voltage signal proportional to the pressure and proportional to the excitation voltage.
Due to the piezoresistive (deformation) effect of the resistor, a voltage signal is generated.
The standard signal is calibrated to 2.0 / 3.0 / 3.3 mV/V etc. according to the pressure range. Compatible with strain gauge sensors.
Calibration by laser. The sensor has high temperature stability and time stability. The sensor comes with a temperature compensation of 0~70℃. And can be in direct contact with most media.
There are many types of pressure sensors. Such as resistance strain gauge pressure sensors, semiconductor strain gauge pressure sensors, piezoresistive pressure sensors, inductive pressure sensors, capacitive pressure sensors, resonant pressure sensors, etc.
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.
Differential pressure sensor, as the name suggests, is a kind of sensor. But it is used to transmit pressure difference. So it is called differential pressure sensor.
Generally speaking, its function is mainly to measure the difference between two different pressures. And it is displayed by the sensor. The differential pressure sensor is often used to measure the pressure of the two end points before and after a certain part of a device Difference.
Ceramic Pressure Sensor has low cost. The price of the ceramic pressure transmitter that people often choose is basically between USD15~35. Save a lot of costs for customers.

The Hydrostatic Pressure Transmitter measures the hydrostatic pressure exerted by a hydrostatic head. Use these hydrostatic pressure transmitters to measure the liquid level in storage tanks, processing vessels, collection tanks, pump inlet heads. And other applications use hydrostatic pressure to determine the liquid height. The pressure transmitter used to measure liquid level can be called: pressure liquid level transmitter. It is mainly used for open non-pressure vessels. One is submersible type, and the other is flat film installation.
You may often hear Hydrostatic Pressure Transmitter or static pressure transmitter. So are they the same? What is their role? Next, the Sino-Inst engineer will take you to take a look.
Static pressure refers to the pressure on the surface of an object when it is stationary or moving in a straight line at a constant speed. The unit is pa. Static pressure plus dynamic pressure equals total pressure.
Static pressure pile construction is a pile-driving process in which the pile driver’s own weight and the counterweight on the frame provide reaction force through the pile driving mechanism of the static pile driver to press the pile into the soil. This kind of pile driving method completely avoids the vibration, noise, and pollution caused by hammering pile driving. Therefore, it has the advantages of no noise, no vibration, no impact, no pollution, etc. during construction.
Advantages: no noise, no vibration, no impact Field: Fluid Dynamics
The pressure generated by the fluid when it is at rest.
The pressure perpendicular to the direction of fluid movement generated by the fluid when it flows.
The gauge pressure value measured in a fluid that is not affected by the flow rate.
Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted on an object by a homogeneous fluid. This is a kind of Omni-directional force, and it is evenly applied to all parts of the surface of the object. The increase in hydrostatic pressure will reduce the volume of the stressed object, but will not change its shape.
The pressure on the rock deep inside the earth’s crust is similar to this. It comes from the overlying rock layer and is called lithostatic pressure. There is also strong pressurization of the capacity load of water.
Liquid level sensors based on hydrostatic liquid level measurement usually measure the filling height of the container according to the following principles:
The liquid passes its specific gravity and gravity. The gravity increases with the filling height. This kind of gravity, which increases with the increase of the filling height, is called a liquid column.
So, if a static pressure type liquid level sensor is selected. This transmitter will measure the corresponding height of gravity of the liquid column as the hydrostatic pressure. Based on the measured hydrostatic pressure and product density. Now you can also calculate the filling height of the container.
Hydrostatic level measurement has enjoyed a high reputation for many years and represents 40% of the market share. It is by far the most common electronic liquid level measurement method. Most importantly, it is well known for its high reliability and low installation cost. Therefore, users think that hydrostatic level measurement is very simple and powerful.
Hydrostatic Level Transmitter Advantages and Disadvantages
About Hydrostatic level transmitter advantages and disadvantages, we do a simple analysis here. If you want to know more about the advantages and disadvantages of level transmitters. Please refer to Sino-Inst Level Transmitters.
Advantages
High measurement accuracy;
The ultra-high range can be customized up to 1000 meters.
Easy to install;
The signal can be transmitted remotely;
The corrosion of various media can be resisted by choosing different materials;
Suitable for explosion-proof occasions;
Low cost;
Disadvantages
The measurement signal needs to be converted;
When the measuring range is greater than 5 meters, it is impossible to measure the high temperature medium temperature exceeding 125 ℃;
Static pressure is easy to understand. It is the maximum bearable pressure.
For example, the differential pressure range you measure is 0-1KPa. This pressure may be that the pressure on one side is 0. The other side is 1KPA. At this time, the maximum static pressure is 1KPA.
The differential pressure range you measure is 0-1KPa. This pressure may be that the pressure on one side is 10000KPa and the other side is 10001KPA. At this time, the maximum static pressure is 10001KPA.
Although the measuring range is the same. The pressure displayed by the transmitter is the same. But the static pressure value of the two pressure transmitters is completely different. The sensor selected for the transmitter is also different.
The verification of the influence of the static pressure of the pressure transmitter is as follows:
Connect the high and low pressure chambers of the transmitter to the atmosphere and measure the lower limit of output.
Introduce the static pressure to slowly change from atmospheric pressure to rated working pressure. After stabilizing for 3 minutes, measure the lower limit of output. And calculate the difference of the lower limit of output to atmospheric pressure.
Transmitter with adjustable input range. Except for special regulations, the static pressure influence verification should be carried out on the smallest range. After verification, it should be restored to the original range.
The high static pressure differential pressure transmitter is used to measure the level, flow and pressure of liquid, gas or steam in a high working pressure environment. Then it is converted into a 420mA DC signal output. The HP intelligent type can communicate with the HART handheld communicator. Use it to set up, monitor or form an on-site monitoring system with the host computer.
Influence of static pressure
①Zero point: ±0.2% URL under 31027kPa static pressure. The zero point error can be corrected online through zero adjustment. ②Range: can be corrected to ±0.25% output reading/6895kPa
In addition, the excellent static pressure performance of the monocrystalline silicon differential pressure transmitter is also better than that of the capacitive products on the same occasion. The optimal static pressure error can be controlled within ±0.05%/10MPa.
The maximum static pressure should be the maximum pressure that the pressure transmitter is allowed to withstand. If this pressure value is exceeded, the diaphragm of the pressure transmitter will be damaged and the measurement accuracy will decrease. If it is a differential pressure transmitter, it means two positive and negative pressure chambers. The maximum allowable pressure is applied on both sides at the same time.
Although there are various types of pressure transducers, one of the most common is the strain-gage base transducer.
The conversion of pressure into an electrical signal is achieved by the physical deformation of strain gauges, which are bonded into the diaphragm of the pressure transducer, and wired into a Wheatstone bridge configuration.
Pressure applied to the pressure transducer produces a deflection of the diaphragm, which introduces strain to the gages.
The strain will produce an electrical resistance change proportional to the pressure.
The static pressure level transmitter is based on the principle that the measured liquid static pressure is proportional to the height of the liquid. Adopt the piezoresistive effect of foreign advanced isolation diffused silicon sensor. Convert static pressure into electrical signal. After temperature compensation and linear correction. Converted into a standard electrical signal. It is suitable for liquid level measurement of various media in petrochemical, metallurgical, electric power, pharmaceutical, water supply and drainage, environmental protection and other systems and industries.
Working principle of hydrostatic level transmitter
When the liquid level transmitter is thrown into a certain depth in the measured liquid. The formula for the pressure on the front surface of the sensor is: Ρ=ρ.g.H+Po. Where:
At the same time, the pressure of the liquid is introduced into the positive pressure chamber of the sensor through the gas-conducting stainless steel. Then connect the atmospheric pressure Po on the liquid surface to the negative pressure chamber of the sensor. To offset the Po on the back of the sensor. Make the pressure measured by the sensor: ρ.g.H. Obviously, the pressure P is measured. The depth of the liquid level can be obtained.
The price of Hydrostatic Pressure Transmitter is not much different from that of ordinary pressure transmitters. The price of Hydrostatic Pressure Transmitter can be determined according to the customer’s parameters. About USD150~350.00.

Intrinsically safe type is an explosion-proof type of electrical equipment. When purchasing electrical equipment, do you often hear about intrinsic safety? For example, when ordering pressure transmitters or flow meters.
Intrinsically safe instruments are intrinsically safe instruments. Also called safety spark type instrument. It means that the instrument is in the normal state and in the fault state. The sparks generated by the circuit and the system and the temperature reached will not ignite the explosive mixture.
Intrinsically safe type is an explosion-proof type of electrical equipment. It limits the electric spark or thermal effect energy that may be generated by the inside of the equipment and the connecting wires exposed to the potentially explosive environment to a level that cannot produce ignition.
By controlling the energy level of the equipment itself, it is lower than the critical condition for igniting explosive gas under normal working or fault conditions. It will not produce sparks or higher than the temperature of igniting explosive gas. It does not need to be shielded or blocked by other means.
By limiting the various parameters of the electrical equipment circuit, or taking protective measures to limit the spark discharge energy and thermal energy of the circuit, so that the electric spark and thermal effects generated under normal operation and specified fault conditions cannot ignite the explosive mixture in the surrounding environment. In this way, electrical explosion-proof is realized. The circuit of this kind of electrical equipment itself has explosion-proof performance. That is to say, it is “essentially” safe. So it is called intrinsically safe. Electrical equipment using intrinsically safe circuits is called intrinsically safe electrical equipment.
Because the circuit of intrinsically safe electrical equipment is inherently safe. The sparks, arcs, and heat generated will not ignite the explosive mixture in the surrounding environment. Therefore, intrinsically safe electrical equipment does not require special explosion-proof enclosures. This can reduce the size of the equipment. Volume and weight. Simplify the structure of the device.
At the same time, the transmission line of intrinsically safe electrical equipment can use glue lines and bare wires. It can save a lot of cables.
Therefore, intrinsically safe electrical equipment has the characteristics of safety and reliability, simple structure, small size, lightweight, low cost, convenient manufacturing, and maintenance, etc. It is an ideal explosion-proof electrical equipment.
However, since the maximum output power of intrinsically safe electrical equipment is about 25W, the range of use is limited.
Intrinsically safe electrical equipment is mainly used in communication, monitoring, signal, and control systems, as well as instruments and meters.
What are the specifications and guidelines for intrinsic safety?
ATEX (Europe)
The European Union Directive 94/9/EC often referred to as ATEX (“Atmospheric Explosion”). It is the main European regulation for protection systems and equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The purpose is to serve as a unified directive to lay the foundation for the necessary health and safety requirements. Replace existing different national and European legislation.
The directive is mandatory for electrical and electronic equipment sold in Europe on July 1, 2003 and used in environments affected by explosion hazards.
The ATEX directive has now been adopted all over the world.
NEC (United States)
The National Electrical Code (NEC) is the basis for all electrical codes in the United States. NEC 500 and 505 cover the classification of hazardous areas and related product identification. NEC 500 explained that it is a long-term regulation. It has been adopted all over the world, except in Europe. NEC 505 is similar to ATEX.
Intrinsically safe symbol
After evaluation, each approved intrinsic safety device should meet ATEX and NEC or Factory Manual standards. Through the corresponding grade system, you can know which areas, protection types, gas groups, and temperature grades the instrument has been approved for.
Example: Fluke 707ex conforms to ATEX II 2 G Ex ia IIC T4
–
The ATEX examination mark. This sign is required on all devices for use in European hazardous areas.
II 2 G
Regional classification. “II” indicates that the tool has been approved for use in all non-mining areas. “2” indicates the category of the device. In this example, the device is evaluated for use in a ** category* hazardous area. “G” designates the environment, in this case, gas, steam, and moist environment.
Ex
Explosion protection is based on European Ex regulations.
ia
Explosion protection type, in this case, the energy in the device or connector has been reduced to a safe value.
IIC
Gas group. The “IIC” grade indicates the suitability of the * hazardous gas group.
T4
The temperature category is the maximum temperature that may exist on the surface.
–
Example of Factory Mutual classification: Fluke 707ex is N.I.Class 1, Div 2, Groups A-D, T4 classified by FM.
–
The Factory Mutual approval mark.
N.I.
A non-flammable instrument with limited internal energy, so it will not ignite the specified environment during use.
Class I
Can be used with gas, steam, and liquid (except for dust, fiber, or filing).
Div 2
It is certified to be used in “Area 2”, and the explosive gas environment that does not usually exist may exist for a short time in rare cases.
Groups A-D
After evaluation, it can be used with explosive gases defined in Group A-D. These gases include acetylene, hydrogen, acetylene, and propane.
According to the frequency and duration of the explosive environment, the hazardous area is divided into different areas. The gas field is divided into three areas: Zone 0, Zone 1, and Zone 2.
Zone 0
Places where the explosive mixture in an explosive environment continuously appears in the form of gas, vapor, or mist or exists for a long time.
Zone 1
During normal operation, a place where an explosive mixture in the form of gas, vapor, or mist may occur in an explosive environment. Zone 1 is a typical application place for explosion-proof electrical equipment.
Zone 2
During normal operation, it is unlikely that explosive mixtures in the form of gas, vapor, or mist will appear in an explosive environment, and if they occur, they will only occur occasionally and exist for a short time. Normally, “short time” means that the duration is not more than 2 hours.
The dust site is divided into three areas: Zone 20, Zone 21, and Zone 22:
Zone 20
During normal operation, combustible dust appears continuously or frequently, and its quantity is sufficient to form a mixture of combustible dust and air and/or may form an uncontrollable and extremely thick dust layer and inside the container.
Zone 21
During normal operation, there may be places where the amount of dust is sufficient to form a mixture of combustible dust and air but is not classified into Zone 20. This area includes places that are directly adjacent to filled or discharged dust, where dust layers appear and places where flammable concentrations of combustible dust and air mixture may be produced under normal operating conditions.
Zone 22
Under abnormal conditions, places where combustible dust clouds occasionally appear and only exist for a short period of time, or combustible dust occasionally accumulates or there may be a dust layer and generate combustible dust-air mixtures but are not classified into Zone 21. If it cannot be guaranteed to exclude combustible dust accumulation or dust layer, it should be divided into 21 zones.
Intrinsically safe certification
Intrinsically safe explosion-proof certification technology is currently standardized and suitable for zone 0 technology. For automation instruments, the most commonly used explosion-proof types are intrinsically safe, explosion-proof, and increased safety.
However, due to the rapid development of electronic technology and the continuous birth of low-power electronic devices. So that the promotion and application of intrinsically safe explosion-proof technology has a broader space. Especially because the intrinsically safe explosion-proof type is compared with other explosion-proof types. It not only has a simple structure but also has a wide range of applications. It also has the characteristics of easy operation and convenient maintenance. Therefore, this kind of intrinsically safe explosion-proof, which suppresses the ignition source energy as an explosion-proof method, has been accepted by instrument manufacturers and users.
Basic principles of intrinsically safe explosion-proof certification technology
Electric sparks and thermal effects are the main sources of ignition that cause explosive hazardous gas explosions. Intrinsic safety is achieved by limiting the energy of two possible ignition sources: electric spark and thermal effects.
Under normal working and fault conditions, when the energy of the electric spark or thermal effect that the meter may produce is less than this energy. It is impossible for the instrument to ignite explosive dangerous gas and cause an explosion.
The principle is to start with limiting energy. Reliably limit the voltage and current in the circuit to an allowable range. In order to ensure that the electric spark and thermal effects generated by the instrument in normal operation or short-circuit and component damage, etc., will not cause the explosion of dangerous gases that may exist around it.
Features of intrinsically safe explosion-proof certification technology
Intrinsically safe explosion-proof technology is actually a low-power design technology. Usually, for hydrogen (IIC) environment, the circuit power must be limited to about 1.3w.
It can be seen that intrinsically safe technology can be well applied to industrial automation instruments.
Compared with any other explosion-proof type. The use of intrinsically safe explosion-proof technology can bring the following technical and commercial features to industrial automation instruments:
No complicated design and manufacturing process is required. A bulky and heavy flameproof enclosure. Therefore, the intrinsically safe instrument has the characteristics of simple structure, small size, light weight and low cost. According to data, the cost ratio of establishing an intrinsically safe and flameproof switch transmission circuit is about 1:4.
Maintenance, calibration and replacement of some parts of the instrument can be carried out under electrified conditions.
High safety and reliability. The intrinsically safe instrument will not reduce the safety and reliability of the instrument due to the loss of the fastening bolts or the corrosion of the casing joint surface, scratches and other man-made reasons
Because intrinsically safe explosion-proof technology is a kind of “weak current” technology. Therefore, the use of intrinsically safe instruments can avoid the occurrence of electric shock accidents of on-site engineering and technical personnel.
Wide application range. Intrinsically safe technology is the only explosion-proof technology applicable to hazardous locations in Zone 0.
For simple devices like thermocouples. No special certification is required to access the intrinsically safe explosion-proof system.
In summary, for automated instruments, intrinsically safe explosion-proof technology is an ideal explosion-proof technology. It will also be widely used in the design of Fieldbus intelligent instruments and their systems.
Intrinsically safe vs explosion-proof
It is often necessary to use explosion-proof instruments in industrial sites. The general industrial explosion-proof instruments are mainly explosion-proof and intrinsically safe. So, how to understand the difference between them?
All our electronic pressure transducers can be offered with Explosion-proof. Select explosion-proof pressure transmitters with Ex d certification and 4-20mA output signals for installation. These installations require the use of equipment and enclosures designated as containing internal explosives. This prevents ignition of the explosive environment surrounding the equipment ( Specified) Flameproof area.
When do I need to choose an explosion-proof or intrinsically safe flowmeter?
Please remember that when you need to measure the medium is flammable and explosive. Be sure to tell the flowmeter manufacturer. Choose intrinsically safe or explosion-proof flow meters.
For example, to measure diesel oil, turbine flowmeters are used. The explosion-proof model must be selected. Another example is measuring hydrogen. Use vortex flowmeter. The intrinsically safe model must be selected.
Sino-Inst offers a variety of Intrinsically Safe vs Explosion Proof Pressure-Level-Flow Transmitters for industrial pressure measurement. If you have any questions, please contact our sales engineers.
