Guide to Pressure Transmitter Selection
Nov 29, 2024
Common types of pressure transmitters:
· Gauge pressure: Measures pressure relative to atmospheric pressure.
· Absolute pressure: Measures pressure relative to a perfect vacuum.
· Differential pressure: Measures the pressure difference between two points.
· Industrial applications of pressure transmitters:
· Oil and Gas: Monitoring pressure in pipelines, wells, and processing plants
· Chemical Processing: Maintaining pressure levels in reactors and storage tanks
· Power Generation: Monitoring pressure in boilers and turbines
· Water Treatment: Regulating pressure in water distribution systems
· Aerospace: Measuring pressure in aircraft systems
· Machine Tools: Monitoring hydraulic pressure in machining processes
How to Select a pressure transmitter?
· Pressure range: Choose a transmitter with a measurement range suitable for the application.
· Accuracy requirements: Select a transmitter with the necessary precision level.
· Process conditions: Consider factors like temperature, pressure, corrosive fluids, and vibration.
· Output signal: Choose a compatible signal type for the control system.
· Sensor technology: Different sensor types (e.g., piezoelectric, strain gauge) have different advantages depending on the application.
