The Hydrostatic Pressure Transmitter measures the hydrostatic pressure exerted by a hydrostatic head. Use these hydrostatic pressure transmitters to measure the liquid level in storage tanks, processing vessels, collection tanks, pump inlet heads. And other applications use hydrostatic pressure to determine the liquid height. The pressure transmitter used to measure liquid level can be called: pressure liquid level transmitter. It is mainly used for open non-pressure vessels. One is submersible type, and the other is flat film installation.
You may often hear Hydrostatic Pressure Transmitter or static pressure transmitter. So are they the same? What is their role? Next, the Sino-Inst engineer will take you to take a look.
Static pressure refers to the pressure on the surface of an object when it is stationary or moving in a straight line at a constant speed. The unit is pa. Static pressure plus dynamic pressure equals total pressure.
Static pressure pile construction is a pile-driving process in which the pile driver’s own weight and the counterweight on the frame provide reaction force through the pile driving mechanism of the static pile driver to press the pile into the soil. This kind of pile driving method completely avoids the vibration, noise, and pollution caused by hammering pile driving. Therefore, it has the advantages of no noise, no vibration, no impact, no pollution, etc. during construction.
Advantages: no noise, no vibration, no impact
Field: Fluid Dynamics
- The pressure generated by the fluid when it is at rest.
- The pressure perpendicular to the direction of fluid movement generated by the fluid when it flows.
- The gauge pressure value measured in a fluid that is not affected by the flow rate.

Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted on an object by a homogeneous fluid. This is a kind of Omni-directional force, and it is evenly applied to all parts of the surface of the object. The increase in hydrostatic pressure will reduce the volume of the stressed object, but will not change its shape.
The pressure on the rock deep inside the earth’s crust is similar to this. It comes from the overlying rock layer and is called lithostatic pressure. There is also strong pressurization of the capacity load of water.

Hydrostatic level measurement is often used for tank level measurement. Hydrostatic level measurement is one type of continuous level measurement.
Hydrostatic level measurement is based on the principle that the Hydrostatic is proportional to the height of the liquid. Hydrostatic submersible pressure level transmitter is the most commonly used level measurement sensor. Of course, the differential pressure transmitter can also measure the liquid level. A hydrostatic level sensor is a submersible pressure transmitter that has a pressure diaphragm at the end of level probe. A hydrostatic level sensor is a submersible pressure transmitter that has a pressure diaphragm at the end of level probe. This Hydrostatic is caused by the weight of the fluid on top of the transmitter and is used to calculate the level. And the inner side of the diaphragm is vented to atmospheric pressure.

Hydrostatic Level Measurement Calculation
Liquid level sensors based on hydrostatic liquid level measurement usually measure the filling height of the container according to the following principles:
The liquid passes its specific gravity and gravity. The gravity increases with the filling height. This kind of gravity, which increases with the increase of the filling height, is called a liquid column.
So, if a static pressure type liquid level sensor is selected. This transmitter will measure the corresponding height of gravity of the liquid column as the hydrostatic pressure. Based on the measured hydrostatic pressure and product density. Now you can also calculate the filling height of the container.

Static Pressure Effect in Pressure Transmitter
Static pressure is easy to understand. It is the maximum bearable pressure.
For example, the differential pressure range you measure is 0-1KPa. This pressure may be that the pressure on one side is 0. The other side is 1KPA. At this time, the maximum static pressure is 1KPA.
The differential pressure range you measure is 0-1KPa. This pressure may be that the pressure on one side is 10000KPa and the other side is 10001KPA. At this time, the maximum static pressure is 10001KPA.
Although the measuring range is the same. The pressure displayed by the transmitter is the same. But the static pressure value of the two pressure transmitters is completely different. The sensor selected for the transmitter is also different.
The verification of the influence of the static pressure of the pressure transmitter is as follows:
- Connect the high and low pressure chambers of the transmitter to the atmosphere and measure the lower limit of output.
- Introduce the static pressure to slowly change from atmospheric pressure to rated working pressure. After stabilizing for 3 minutes, measure the lower limit of output. And calculate the difference of the lower limit of output to atmospheric pressure.
- Transmitter with adjustable input range. Except for special regulations, the static pressure influence verification should be carried out on the smallest range. After verification, it should be restored to the original range.

High Static Differential Pressure Transmitter
The high static pressure differential pressure transmitter is used to measure the level, flow and pressure of liquid, gas or steam in a high working pressure environment. Then it is converted into a 420mA DC signal output. The HP intelligent type can communicate with the HART handheld communicator. Use it to set up, monitor or form an on-site monitoring system with the host computer.
Influence of static pressure
①Zero point: ±0.2% URL under 31027kPa static pressure. The zero point error can be corrected online through zero adjustment.
②Range: can be corrected to ±0.25% output reading/6895kPa
In addition, the excellent static pressure performance of the monocrystalline silicon differential pressure transmitter is also better than that of the capacitive products on the same occasion. The optimal static pressure error can be controlled within ±0.05%/10MPa.
