What is diaphragm seal pressure transmitter?

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

What is a diaphragm seal?

Diaphragm Seals, also known as Chemical Seals or Gauge Isolators, are used to isolate pressure instrumentation, like pressure gauges, pressure transmitters, pressure switches, level transmitters, and more from process media that is hot, corrosive, clogging, or otherwise damaging to the pressure 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

FAQ

A pressure level transmitter is a device that works on the principle that static pressure is proportional to liquid level height. It is essentially a device that combines the functions of a pressure sensor and a level gauge.

The transmitter uses an advanced isolated diffused silicon sensitive element or a ceramic capacitor pressure sensitive sensor. The measured static pressure of the liquid is converted into an electrical signal.

This process is temperature compensated and linearly corrected, and the final output is a standard electrical signal, common forms are 4~20mA or 1~5VDC, etc.

The pressure gauge is an instrument that uses elastic elements as sensitive elements to measure and indicate pressure higher than the ambient pressure. It is used in almost all industrial processes and scientific research fields.

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

The differences between pressure transmitter and pressure gauge are:

  1. The accuracy of the standard instrument required for pressure transmitter calibration is much higher than the accuracy of the standard instrument required for pressure gauge.
  2. The pressure gauge only needs to calibrate a pair of input and output relationships. The pressure transmitter may need to calibrate the relationship between input and communication data.
  3. Pressure gauge calibration must have corresponding metrological qualifications. Pressure transmitters are generally not required except for production and new construction.
  4. The pressure gauge has poor accuracy and no output. It cannot be operated with a hand operator. Generally, 5 points are calibrated. The back and forth difference is different. The intelligent pressure transmitter generally only needs to calibrate the zero point and full scale.
  5. The output of the pressure gauge is a scale indication, and its own display capability. The pressure transmitter is a current output and must be connected to an ammeter display of the corresponding accuracy level.

A diaphragm seal system consists of a pressure instrument, a fill liquid, and a diaphragm seal, either direct-mount or capillary.

Diaphragm seals are used to seal and protect instruments from process media. The flexibility of the seal lies in the fact that the diaphragm securely seals the contents and penetrates the instrument to accurately measure pressure.

Diaphragm seals are often used in conjunction with pressure transmitters. This combination can be used in extremely harsh environmental conditions.

The fact that they can isolate instruments from any kind of toxic and reactive chemicals makes them particularly useful devices.

Diaphragm-sealed pressure transmitters are used when the medium is corrosive or will corrode the internal parts of the transmitter (for example, ammonia will corrode the copper in the transmitter).

Differential pressure transmitters utilize the pressure difference generated by the liquid’s own gravity to measure the liquid level in a container.

Flange-mounted differential pressure transmitters are directly installed on pre-existing flanges at the bottom of pipes or containers, contacting the liquid through an isolation diaphragm.

When the diaphragm is subjected to pressure, it undergoes slight deformation. The displacement of the diaphragm changes with the differential pressure. This change is precisely converted by an amplification circuit into a 4-20mA DC two-wire current, voltage, or digital HART output signal, thus achieving pressure measurement and transmission.

The high-pressure side measuring tube is always filled with the medium, maintaining constant pressure. The low-pressure side measuring tube forms a communicating vessel with the container, and its pressure changes linearly with the liquid level in the container.

Let △P be the differential pressure signal received by the transmitter, P0 be the internal pressure of the container, P+ be the pressure on the positive pressure side of the transmitter, and P- be the pressure on the negative pressure side of the transmitter. Let ρ be the density of the liquid in the container, g be the acceleration due to gravity, h1 be the height from the process zero point to the upper pressure tap of the container, h2 be the process liquid level in the container, and h be the height from the transmitter to the process liquid level zero point.

Then:
P+ = P0 + ρgh1 + ρgh
P- = P0 + ρgh2 + ρgh
△P = P+ – P- = ρgh1 – ρgh2

When the liquid level changes from h2=0 to h2=h1, the differential pressure measured by the transmitter changes from its maximum value to △P=0. By configuring the transmitter, the output current changes from 4mA to 20mA.

Single flange vs Double flanges differential pressure level transmitter

  1. In principle: all are differential pressure transmitters + flange guide pressure;
  2. In terms of structure: the single flange liquid zd position transmitter has only one flange diaphragm box connected to the high pressure side, and the low pressure side to the atmosphere. The double flange liquid level transmitter is high and low pressure side through oil-filled capillary It is connected with two flanged membrane return boxes. There is also a capillary. The single flange transmitter is installed below, and a capillary is drawn from the low pressure side of the single flange transmitter to the upper flange membrane box.
  3. In terms of engineering applications: all can only measure the liquid level of fixed density. The single-flange transmitter can only be used for the liquid level of atmospheric equipment that can be imagined with the atmosphere. The double-flange transmitter can be suitable. Answer: Use closed equipment kettle to measure liquid level;
  4. From the economical point of view, the double flange is definitely more expensive than the single flange. After all, there is one more flange capsule and capillary.

Working principle of SMART differential pressure transmitter

The intelligent differential pressure transmitter uses a single-crystal silicon piezoresistive sensor as its core component. When pressure is applied to the sensor, the resistance of the single-crystal silicon changes, which is converted into an electrical signal by the circuit, and then digitally processed to output a standard signal (such as 4-20mA or a digital signal).

Its intelligent feature lies in its built-in microprocessor, which can perform temperature compensation, linear correction, and fault diagnosis, ensuring high measurement accuracy and stability.

The SMT3151DP intelligent differential pressure transmitter integrates differential pressure measurement, display, and signal output functions. This intelligent differential pressure transmitter is used to measure the level, density, flow rate, and pressure of liquids, gases, or vapors.

Depending on the type of pressure to be measured:

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

According to the working principle of the pressure transmitter:

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

Extended reading: Silicon Pressure Sensor

Simply put, a differential pressure transmitter is a device that measures two opposing pressures in a pipe or vessel. Differential Pressure (DP) transmitters measure the difference between two pressures. They use a reference point called the low-side pressure and compare it to the high-side pressure. Ports in the instrument are marked high-side and low-side. The DP reading can be either negative or positive depending on whether the low-side or high-side is the larger value. A DP transmitter can be used as a gauge pressure transmitter if the low-side is left open to the atmosphere.

Extended reading: Featured Diaphragm Seal Pressure Transmitters

The most common and useful industrial pressure measuring instrument is the differential pressure transmitter. This equipment will sense the difference in pressure between two ports and produce an output signal with reference to a calibrated pressure range.

The differential pressure transmitter can be used in combination with other accessories and can be used to measure liquid level and flow.

Differential pressure transmitters and pressure transmitters have many similarities. It can be mixed and used most of the time. As long as it is within the range of the differential pressure transmitter, it can measure not only positive pressure but also negative pressure. When measuring positive pressure, the negative port is open to atmosphere, and when measuring negative pressure, the positive port is open to atmosphere.

DP level transmitter working principle

The differential pressure level transmitter is an instrument that uses the pressure generated by the liquid column to measure the height of the liquid level. When the liquid level changes, the pressure received by the diaphragm at the high-pressure side flange will change accordingly. The differential pressure value calculated by the transmitter will also change accordingly. There is a linear relationship between them.

Normally, the high-pressure side (H side) and the low-pressure side (L side) cannot be installed reversely. Generally, the H side is installed at the lower part of the equipment, and the L side is installed at the higher part of the equipment. Before installation, the flange surface of the equipment should be cleaned and the gasket should not be placed off-center to prevent the diaphragm from being punctured or deformed, causing distortion of the transmitter.

SMT 3151 Differential Pressure Level Measurement

Differential pressure transmitter level measurement calculation

When using a Differential pressure (DP) level transmitter to measure the liquid level as shown in the figure below.

The measured liquid density in the figure is ρ.
The working medium density in the capillary of the double flange differential pressure transmitter is ρ0.
The measuring range of the measured liquid level is H.
The center distance of the sampling tube of the measured liquid level is h.

It can be seen from the figure that the maximum measurement range of the liquid level △ P = P + — P- = H × ρ × g – h × ρ0 × g.

It can be seen from the formula that the dual-flange differential pressure transmitter should perform negative migration. The migration amount S is h × ρ0 × g. And the installation position of the double flange differential pressure transmitter has no effect on the migration amount and the measurement result.

The dual-flange differential pressure transmitter requires negative migration.

When the measured liquid level is 0, the pressure difference between the positive and negative measurement chambers of the remote differential pressure transmitter is the largest. The output current of the double flange differential pressure transmitter is 4mA.

As the measured liquid level rises, the pressure difference between the positive and negative measurement chambers of the transmitter gradually decreases.

When the measured liquid level rises to the highest Hmax. The pressure difference between the positive and negative measurement chambers of the transmitter is the smallest. The output current of the double flange differential pressure transmitter is 20mA.

DP level transmitter calibration

The differential pressure liquid level transmitter has been calibrated in the range, accuracy, linearity and other parameters according to customer requirements at the factory. And mark the range, accuracy, etc. on the nameplate of the differential pressure liquid level transmitter. As long as the density and other parameters of the measured medium meet the requirements of the nameplate, generally no adjustment is required.

If the customer needs to adjust the range or zero position, please adjust according to the following methods. Assuming that the range of the differential pressure liquid level transmitter is 0 ~ 10 meters:

  1. Unscrew the protective cover of the differential pressure liquid level transmitter. It can be adjusted by connecting an external standard 24VDC power supply and ammeter (requires accuracy of 0.2% or above).
  2. When there is no liquid in the differential pressure liquid level transmitter. Adjust the zero potentiometers. Make it output a current of 4mA.
  3. Pressurize the differential pressure liquid level transmitter to full scale (10 meters). Adjust the full-scale resistor. Make it output a current of 20mA.
  4. Repeat the above steps two or three times until the signal is normal.
  5. Please input 25%, 50%, and 75% signals to check the error of the differential pressure liquid level transmitter.
  6. For non-aqueous media. Differential pressure level transmitters are calibrated with water. It should be converted according to the pressure generated by the actual density of the medium. For example, when the medium density is 1.3, the 1.3m water level should be used to calibrate the 1m range.
  7. After adjustment, tighten the protective cover.
  8. The verification cycle of the differential pressure liquid level transmitter is once a year.
  9. HART intelligent differential pressure liquid level transmitter of Sino-Inst instrument can be selected. It is convenient to adjust the range of the differential pressure liquid level transmitter.

What is the difference between a pressure switch and a pressure sensor?

Pressure sensor is the most commonly used sensor in industrial practice. A sensor that can sense pressure and convert it into a usable output signal. The pressure switch is to open or close the system under a certain pressure to realize the detection, display, alarm and control signal output of the medium pressure signal. Ensure that the system is operating normally. Then the pressure sensor and the pressure switch are used as pressure-related instruments at the same time. What is the difference in the use of the two?

The pressure switch is a kind of switch as its name implies, but this kind of switch is a pressure set in advance. When the measured medium reaches this pressure, the switch can be turned on or off automatically. The pressure switch must be given a pressure value in advance, and then turn the switch on or off. Used for simple control, they are all on-off outputs.

The pressure sensor can output not only analog signal, but also digital signal output. Digital signal processing is more convenient, and remote transmission is also possible. The pressure sensor is composed of a pressure-sensitive element and a conversion circuit, which uses the pressure of the measured medium to act on the pressure-sensitive element to produce a small change in current or voltage output.

Sensors often need to be used in conjunction with external amplifier circuits to complete the process from pressure detection to control and display. Since the pressure sensor is a primary element, the signal feedback from the pressure sensor needs to be processed, analyzed, stored, and controlled by the measurement and control system. Make industrial automation equipment and engineering operation control more intelligent.

In terms of price, pressure sensors are naturally more expensive than pressure switches, because pressure sensors have internal signal conditioning circuits. But considering the service life and safety, the cost performance of the pressure sensor is much higher than that of the pressure switch. The after-sales service, product reputation, and market differences of pressure sensors are better than pressure switches. Obviously, the pressure sensor should be preferred.

The above is the difference between a pressure sensor and a pressure switch. I hope that the introduction of the editor can provide some help to everyone’s use.
