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

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.

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.

Extended reading: Flat Pressure Sensor for High Viscosity Fluids

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).

The Flange Mounted Differential Pressure Transmitter is directly mounted on the reserved flange at the bottom of the pipeline or container. It contacts the liquid through the isolation diaphragm.

When the diaphragm is pressurized, it will produce a slight deformation. The displacement of the diaphragm will move with the change of the differential pressure. This change is accurately converted into a 4-20mA DC two-wire current, voltage or digital HART output signal by the amplifier circuit to achieve pressure measurement and transmission.

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.

How to choose flange type 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 temperatures, 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, and 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.

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.
