Remote Seal Differential Pressure Transmitter

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

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

Applications of Remote Seal Differential Pressure Transmitter

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

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

Precautions for use:

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

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

Remote Seal Differential Pressure Transmitters Working Principle

What is a diaphragm seal?

Diaphragm seals, also known as chemical seals or remote seals, are used for pressure measurements when the process medium should not come into contact with the pressurised parts of the measuring instrument.

A diaphragm seal has two primary tasks:

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

You may like: Diaphragm pressure gauge

What is remote seal?

The remote seal is used to prevent the medium in the pipeline from directly entering the pressure sensor assembly in the pressure transmitter. It is connected to the transmitter by a capillary filled with fluid. As a result, they’re often used in refining, petrochemical, and chemical plants.

What are the advantages of diaphragm seals?

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

How do diaphragm seals work?

Basically, diaphragm seals are used in all pressure measurement processes to avoid direct contact between the measuring instrument and the medium during this process.

In addition, if the measuring point cannot be installed or read because the measuring point is located in a hard-to-reach location, a diaphragm seal can also be used.

In both cases, the applied pressure is transferred to the measuring instrument through the system fill fluid in the diaphragm seal housing.

The diaphragm of the seal can be made of different materials, such as stainless steel, Hastelloy, Monel or tantalum. In addition, coatings with ECTFE, PFA or gold can also be used.

We can provide the best diaphragm seal design, materials, system fill fluid and accessories for each application. The combined configuration of the pressure measuring instrument and the diaphragm seal is mainly determined by the special application conditions of the diaphragm sealing system.

Diaphragm type level transmitter working principle

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

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

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

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

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

Pressure level transmitter is good for level measurement. Most of the time, we use submersible hydrostatic level sensor for the level measurement. When you can not use the probe of hydrostatic level sensor, you can try with this pressure level transmitter. Pressure level transmitter, is one type of DP level measure instrument, with the diaphragm.

What is differential pressure transmitter working principle?

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

The Piezoresistive Effect

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

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

More about Piezoresistive effect From Wikipedia.

Strain pressure sensor VS piezoresistive pressure sensor

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

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

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

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

Piezoresistive pressure sensor advantages and disadvantages

Advantages of piezoresistive pressure sensor:

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

Disadvantages of piezoresistive pressure sensor:

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

Techincal Support

Capacitive mems pressure sensor

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

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

Capacitive differential pressure sensor

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

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

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

How does a piezoresistive pressure sensor work?

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

What do piezoresistive sensors measure?

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

How do you test a pressure sensor?

There are 3 commonly used detection methods for pressure sensors. Hope it can help you.
1. Pressure test. The method of detection is to power the sensor. Use your mouth to blow the air hole of the pressure sensor. Use the voltage file of a multimeter to detect the voltage change at the output of the sensor. If the relative sensitivity of the pressure sensor is large, this amount of change will be significant. If there is no change at all, you need to use a pneumatic source to apply pressure.
Through the above method, you can basically detect the condition of a sensor. If accurate testing is required, a standard pressure source is required. Give pressure to the sensor, and calibrate the sensor according to the pressure and the change of the output signal. And when conditions permit, the temperature detection of relevant parameters.
2. Zero point detection. Use the voltage range of the multimeter to detect the zero output of the sensor under no pressure. This output is generally a voltage of mV level. If it exceeds the technical specifications of the sensor, it means that the zero deviation of the sensor is out of range.
3. Detection of bridges. It mainly detects whether the circuit of the sensor is correct. It is generally a Wheatstone full-bridge circuit. Use the ohm file of the multimeter. Measure the impedance between the input terminals and the impedance between the output terminals. These two impedances are the input and output impedances of the pressure sensor. If the impedance is infinite, the bridge is disconnected. It means there is a problem with the sensor or the definition of the pin is not correct.

What is a differential pressure gauge?

SI-D2000 Differential Pressure Gauge

Differential pressure gauges are suitable for measuring small pressure differences between two pressure sources in an industrial process. Measure the pressure loss of the filter and observe the working state of the valve. It is widely used to measure the pressure of fan and blower, filter resistance, wind speed, furnace pressure, orifice differential pressure, bubble water level, liquid amplifier or hydraulic system pressure, etc. It is also used for air-gas ratio control and automatic valve control during the combustion process.

Differential pressure gauge is suitable for measuring the differential pressure, flow rate and other parameters of various liquid (gas) media in the process flow of industrial sectors such as chemical, chemical, metallurgy, electric power, and nuclear power. The instrument structure is all made of stainless steel. Among them, the measurement system (double bellows emergency connection parts) and the pressure guiding system (including joints, conduits, etc.) adopt special structure design and advanced technology.

Principle of differential pressure gauge

How does a differential pressure gauge work ?

Based on the pressure-sensitive element, two bellows with the same stiffness are used. Therefore, they are forced to produce the same concentrated force on the movable bracket under the same measured medium. Because the two sides of the spring sheet do not produce deflection under the action of equal moments. It is still in the original position. In this way, the gear transmission mechanism does not operate. The pointer is still at the zero position.

When different pressures are applied (generally the high-pressure end is higher than the low-pressure end), the forces of the two bellows acting on the movable bracket are not equal. The corresponding displacements are generated. The gear transmission mechanism is driven and amplified. The pointer deflection The latter indicates the differential pressure between the two.

FAQ

How do you hook up a differential pressure gauge?

Two pressure ports for L (low pressure) and H (high pressure). Different connections can quickly indicate gas pressure. Including positive, negative or differential pressure. Zero calibration can be directly operated externally.
Pressure measurement: Connect the pressure source to any one of the two high-pressure ports with an air pipe, and block the unused one; make one or two low-pressure ports open to the atmosphere.
Differential pressure measurement: Connect the high-pressure source to any one of the two high-pressure ports with an air pipe, and connect the low-pressure source to any one of the two low-pressure ports with an air pipe; block the two pressure ports that are not used on the meter.
Negative pressure measurement: Connect the pressure source to any one of the two low-pressure ports with an air duct, and block the unused one; make one or two high-pressure ports open to the atmosphere.

How to calibrate differential pressure gauge?

Send to Calibration Institute for calibration. Self-calibration requires equipment and qualifications, otherwise it will not be recognized.
If no report is required, you can calibrate yourself:
First, at least one certified high-precision micro-pressure gauge or pressure gauge is required as a reference standard. Then select 5-7 points in the full range and give a fixed pressure difference at both ends of the differential pressure gauge. If it is a micro differential pressure gauge, you can use a micro pressure pump to give pressure to the high pressure port. If it is a large number of differential pressure gauges, you can use a liquid pump to give pressure to the high-pressure port. Then observe the reading between the reference standard and the differential pressure gauge, record and calculate the relative error.

What is the function of a pressure gauge?

The role of the pressure gauge is used to measure and indicate the size of the pressure in the pressure product. If the pressure product does not have a pressure gauge, or if the pressure gauge fails, the pressure of the pressure product cannot be expressed. This directly threatens safety.
A sensitive and accurate pressure gauge is installed on the pressure product. The operator can operate the pressure product correctly with the pressure gauge to ensure safe and economical operation.
The pressure gauge can accurately indicate the level of the steam pressure in the pressure product. The operator can adjust the heating degree of the product according to the indicated value of the pressure gauge. In order to ensure the requirements of the gas department and the safe operation of pressure products.

Applications

The single-flange pressure / level transmitter can accurately measure the liquid level and density of various containers. There are two types of flat flange and plug-in flange. It is suitable for high viscosity medium or suspended liquid measurement.

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

SMT3151DP intelligent differential pressure transmitter uses advanced microprocessor technology and digital communication technology. The basic principle of differential pressure transmitter is: divide a space with sensitive elements (multi-purpose capsule) into two chambers. Introduce pressure into the two chambers separately. The sensor produces displacement (or displacement trend) under the combined action of the two pressures. This displacement is proportional to the pressure difference (differential pressure) between the two chambers. Convert this displacement into a standard signal output that can reflect the magnitude of the differential pressure.

Single flange. VS. Double flange 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.

How to choose flange type liquid level transmitter?

Flange level transmitters often require special environmental processing during production. Requires small range and high accuracy. Flange level transmitters are also required to withstand high temperature, corrosion resistance and high overload withstand capability. Therefore, the scope of application must be clearly defined when selecting the flange type liquid level transmitter.

When choosing a flange-type liquid level transmitter, the following factors are mainly considered:

  1. The measurement object, such as the physical and chemical properties of the measured medium. And working pressure and temperature, installation conditions, speed of liquid level change, etc .;
  2. Measurement and control requirements. Such as measurement range, measurement accuracy, display method. On-site instructions, long-distance instructions, interface with computer, safety and anti-corrosion. Reliability and construction convenience.

When selecting a double-flange differential pressure transmitter, a very important factor must be paid attention to is the differential pressure level transmitter. It is installed at the bottom of the liquid container. The height of the liquid level is reflected by the gauge pressure signal. In the control process of liquid level measurement in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. The container holding the liquid is often under pressure. At this time, the conventional static pressure liquid level transmitter cannot meet the measurement requirements. Due to improvements in the sensor circuit and structure. Improve the practical value of differential pressure liquid level measurement technology in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

Smart pressure transmitter working principle

The working principle of the smart pressure transmitter (gauge pressure) / absolute pressure transmitter is:

The pressure passes through the isolated diaphragm and the pressure-conducting medium. It acts indirectly on the metal surface. The thickness of the metal film is different. As a result, the diaphragm is slightly deformed. The maximum shape variable does not exceed 0.1mm. A high-precision circuit that measures the deformation of the diaphragm converts this small deformation into a voltage signal proportional to the pressure. After linearization and temperature compensation processing, a dedicated chip is used to convert the voltage signal into an industry standard 4-20ma current signal or 1-5v voltage signal.

The metal capacitive pressure sensor used to measure the diaphragm detection circuit contains a linear circuit and a temperature compensation circuit. Therefore, the entire transmitter can achieve high accuracy and high stability. Metal capacitive pressure sensor has extremely high overload resistance. And has excellent performance in micro-pressure measurement.

Working principle of Smart differential pressure transmitter

SMT3151DP intelligent differential pressure transmitter uses advanced microprocessor technology and digital communication technology. The basic principle of differential pressure transmitter is: divide a space with sensitive elements (multi-purpose capsule) into two chambers. Introduce pressure into the two chambers separately. The sensor produces displacement (or displacement trend) under the combined action of the two pressures. This displacement is proportional to the pressure difference (differential pressure) between the two chambers. Convert this displacement into a standard signal output that can reflect the magnitude of the differential pressure.

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.

Differential pressure type level transmitter working principle

Differential pressure (DP) level transmitter is a differential pressure transmitter to prevent the measured medium from directly acting on the transmitter. The differential pressure transmitter uses remote transmission isolation diaphragm contact. The remote transmission differential pressure transmitter (double flange) is composed of a differential pressure transmitter and a welded remote flange with capillary tube. Its working principle is the same as the differential pressure transmitter. Only the pressure transmission path is slightly different. The measurement diaphragm chamber of the transmitter is connected with a stainless steel capillary (tube with a diameter of about 3mm, plus protection) and the channel is several meters to tens of meters. One of the other places will be two (pressure or differential pressure) made into a flange-shaped measuring diaphragm box. The middle is filled with the transfer medium (silicone oil). When using, connect the flange to the device to measure.

SMT 3151 Differential Pressure Level Measurement

Differential pressure transmitter level measurement calculation

When using 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.

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:

How to calibrate a differential pressure level transmitter ?

  1. Unscrew the protective cover of the differential pressure liquid level transmitter. It can be adjusted by connecting 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 potentiometer. Make it output current 4mA.

  3. Pressurize the differential pressure liquid level transmitter to full scale (10 meters). Adjust the full-scale resistor. Make it output current 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 pressure transmitter and differential pressure transmitter?

The principle of the pressure transmitter is: The medium pressure acts directly on the sensitive diaphragm. A Wheatstone bridge composed of resistors distributed on the sensitive diaphragm. The use of the piezoresistive effect realizes the conversion of pressure into an electrical signal. Amplify the millivolt signal generated by the sensitive element through an electronic circuit into an industrial (such as 4 ~ 20mA, 0 ~ 5V) standard signal. But the pressure transmitter has only one pressure interface.

Pressure transmitters

The principle of a differential pressure transmitter is: a transmitter that measures the pressure difference between the two ends of the transmitter. Output standard signals (such as 4 ~ 20mA, 0 ~ 5V). Differential pressure transmitters are different from general pressure transmitters in that they have two pressure interfaces. Differential pressure transmitters are generally divided into positive pressure end and negative pressure end. H is the positive pressure end and L is the low-pressure end. In general, the pressure at the positive pressure end of the differential pressure transmitter should be greater than the pressure in the negative pressure section to measure. Differential pressure transmitters are used to measure the level, density, and pressure of liquids, gases, and vapors. Then convert it into 4–20mA DC current signal output.

In summary: The fundamental difference between a pressure transmitter and a differential pressure transmitter is that the pressure transmitter can only measure the pressure at one pressure end. The differential pressure transmitter can measure the pressure at two pressure points, and the two pressures are subtracted. The pressure difference at the positive pressure end minus the negative pressure end pressure. Thus, the actual liquid level value is converted.
