Diaphragm Seal Pressure Transmitters work with Diaphragm Seals for those harsh working conditions. The purpose of the diaphragm seal is to isolate the pressure sensor from the process medium.

Diaphragm Seal Pressure Transmitters

The diaphragm seal makes measuring pressure safer and more reliable. It is ideal for protecting pressure process transmitters even under harsh working conditions. The diaphragm seal can isolate the pressure sensor from the process medium. No matter absolute pressure or differential pressure measurement. Mounting with capillary and flange, Diaphragm Seal pressure transmitter can measure pressure, liquid level and flow.When the environment is extremely hot or cold, or when the process connection is difficult to connect to the measuring instrument. When the measured medium is corrosive, sticky, sticky or easily cured. Or when the process is not chemically compatible with the instrument material. It is recommended to use a diaphragm seal.

Sino-Inst offers a variety of Diaphragm Seal Pressure Transmitters for industrial pressure measurement. If you have any questions, please contact our sales engineers.

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

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 pressure transmitter working principle

Diaphragm pressure transmitter is an automated instrument that measures fluid pressure in the industrial field.

  • It is mainly composed of pressure measuring probe, capillary tube, filling liquid and pressure transmission head.
  • One end of the pressure measuring probe is provided with an elastic metal diaphragm
  • When the pressure acts directly on the surface of the measuring diaphragm, the diaphragm will have a slight deformation.
  • The high-precision circuit on the measuring diaphragm transforms this tiny deformation into a highly linear voltage signal proportional to the pressure and also proportional to the excitation voltage.
  • Then use a special chip to convert this voltage signal into an industry standard 4-2OmA current signal or 1-5V voltage signal.
  • Because the measuring diaphragm adopts standard integrated circuit, which contains linear and temperature compensation circuits, it can achieve high precision and high stability.
  • The transmission circuit adopts a special two-wire system chip, which can ensure the output of a two-wire 4-20mA current signal, which is convenient for field wiring.

When to use diaphragm seal ?

The diaphragm seal pressure transmitter is suitable for the following working conditions:

  1. The high temperature medium needs to be isolated from the transmitter.
  2. The measuring medium has a corrosive effect on the sensitive components of the transmitter.
  3. Suspended liquid or high viscosity medium.
  4. The measured medium solidifies or crystallizes due to changes in the environment or process temperature.
  5. Replacing the measured medium requires strict purification of the measuring head.
  6. The measuring head must be kept clean and hygienic.
  7. Liquid level measurement of sealed pressure vessel.

Questions

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.

Diaphragm pressure gauge consists of a diaphragm isolator and a universal pressure gauge to form a system pressure gauge. The spring tube is evacuated by special equipment. And fill people with irrigation fluid. Seal it with a diaphragm. When the pressure P of the measured medium acts on the diaphragm, it deforms. The working fluid filled in the compression system makes the working fluid form a △ P equivalent to P, with the help of work. The conduction of the liquid causes a corresponding elastic deformation-displacement at the free end of the elastic element (spring tube) in the pressure meter. According to the working principle of the pressure instrument matched with it, the measured pressure value is displayed.

Diaphragm pressure gauges consist of a system of diaphragms and universal pressure gauges. Diaphragm pressure gauges and equipment are mainly connected with threaded connections, flange connections and sanitary clamps. Diaphragm pressure gauges are suitable for measuring the pressure of medium with strong corrosion, high temperature, high viscosity, easy to crystallize, easy to solidify, and solid floats, as well as occasions where the measurement medium must be avoided from entering the general-purpose pressure meter and to prevent the accumulation of sediment and easy to clean.

The characteristics of the filling fluid determine the performance of the sealing system to a large extent, both in response time and temperature to the heat dissipation conditions.
The initial consideration in choosing a sealed diaphragm to fill fluid is the media compatibility of the process.
Glycerin, silicone oil and halogenated carbon are the most commonly used sealed diaphragm filling fluids.
In general there are three ways to fill a diaphragm seal:
1. Filling a diaphragm seal after assembly of the seal to the instrument
2. Filling a diaphragm seal before assembly of the seal to the instrument
3. Filling a diaphragm seal with a capillary between the seal and the instrument
