Smart Differential Pressure Transmitter measures an industrial differential pressure. Can Works with diaphragm seals, capillary, HART. Outputs standard signals (such as 4 ~ 20mA, 0 ~ 5V).

SMT3151DP smart differential pressure transmitter

A smart differential pressure transmitter is used to measure the liquid level, density, and pressure of liquid, gas, or steam. And then convert it into 4 ～ 20mA DC signal output. Smart can communicate with HART Communicator, and set and monitor through it. The DP transmitter is a transmitter that measures the pressure difference between the two ends of the transmitter. The differential pressure transmitter has two pressure interfaces. It is divided into a positive pressure end and a negative pressure end. In general, the pressure at the positive pressure end of the differential pressure transmitter should be greater than the pressure at the negative pressure end.

Differential pressure transmitter for flow measurement

Differential Pressure Flow meters, also known as DP flow meters. Differential Pressure (DP) flow meters introduce a constriction in the pipe, that creates a pressure drop across the flow meter. The calculation of fluid flow rate, by reading the pressure loss across a pipe restriction, is the most used flow measurement technique in industrial applications. Differential pressure flow meters are suitable for water flow measurement, oil, steam or gas flow measurement.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Differential pressure transmitters can also measure flow, pipeline pressure difference, tank liquid level, bubble water level, dust, or medium that is easy to crystallize and viscous and fluidity is not good.
