Hydrostatic level measurement: Measuring Principle

The basic working principle of Hydrostatic Level Sensor is static pressure level measurement.

In liquid, the pressure generated at a certain depth is generated by the weight of the medium itself above the measurement point. It is proportional to the density of the medium and the local acceleration of gravity.

The formula P = ρgh reflects the proportional relationship between them.

Where P = pressure, ρ = medium density, g = gravity acceleration, h = depth of measurement point.

Therefore, the physical quantity measured by the input liquid level gauge is actually pressure. It can be understood by the calibration unit mH2O of the input level gauge. The actual liquid level must be obtained by conversion after knowing the two parameters of density and gravity acceleration. In the industrial field, such conversion is usually performed by a secondary instrument or PLC.

The Hydrostatic Level Sensor mainly measures corrosive liquids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide, etc. Or chemical and electroplating wastewater. Mainly used in measuring corrosive media. It has the advantages of strong corrosion resistance and stable performance.

What is a hydrostatic gauge? Or, What is a hydrostatic level sensor?

Hydrostatics is the science of fluids not in motion.

A hydrostatic level sensor is a form of a level probe, that is used especially for level monitoring, by measuring the hydrostatic pressure, in a virtually static liquid at a pre-determined level of submersion.

A hydrostatic level sensor is a submersible pressure transmitter, that has a pressure diaphragm, where the inner side of the diaphragm is vented to atmospheric pressure, through a vent tube in the cable, and the outer side is in contact with the liquid, and measuring the static pressure of the liquid column above the transmitter.

This static pressure is basically caused by the weight of the fluid on top of the transmitter, and is used to calculate the level of the liquid.

How does a hydrostatic level sensor work? Or How is hydrostatic pressure measured?

When considering a new level sensor for level measurement applications, it is often hard to find information on how the different types of level sensors, like the hydrostatic level sensors respectively hydrostatic pressure sensors, are working.

Recently, I explained level measurement by using the hydrostatic pressure measurement.

In closed geometries, such as enclosed tanks and vessels, generally, flush pressure sensors or pressure transmitters are used, which can be screwed into the vessel from the outside.

Pressure sensors are therefore particularly suitable, in applications of free-standing tanks and vessels.

A submersible pressure transducer or a flush pressure sensor measures the height-dependent weight-force of the liquid column, also known as hydrostatic pressure.

This pressure measurement is directly proportional to the liquid level respectively liquid column, at the measuring point of the pressure sensor.

It is, therefore, necessary, for the measurement of level, that the pressure sensor is placed as close as possible to the level of the vessel’s bottom.

The measured hydrostatic pressure then directly corresponds to the height of the liquid column, from the ground-level measurement point to the surface level of the medium.

So, the filling height is calculated from the distance of the medium surface to the measuring point by the pressure measurement.

The weight force of the liquid column, thus the hydrostatic pressure, however, is not only directly proportional to the filling height but also varies with the specific gravity of the medium and the force of gravity.

Hydrostatic level sensor in use

The simplicity of using a hydrostatic level sensor makes it the instrument of choice wherever level needs to be measured, no matter if in a vented tank, vessel, lake, river, or reservoir.

In most cases, it is suspended by the cable to the desired level of measurement, or just submerged and allowed to sink to the bottom of the resource.

It does not matter what the structure of the tank, basin, or natural geometry is or if it has any obstructions, ledges, or complex shape, a hydrostatic level sensor will always measure the pressure of the liquid unaffected by such disturbances.

As the hydrostatic level sensor commonly is a gauge pressure sensor, it automatically compensates for the atmospheric pressure changes, so the pressure measured represents only the pressure of the liquid, caused by the liquid’s specific gravity and the vertical distance to the surface.

Therefore, the hydrostatic level sensor accurately measures the level of the liquid, by calculating the distance from the measuring point to the surface level via the measured pressure.

A hydrostatic level sensor may be calibrated in the meters water column to allow for standard gravity or local gravity.

For very high accuracy level monitoring often the temperature of the media may also be considered to take the temperature effects on the specific gravity into account.

The hydrostatic level sensor is a specialized sensor for level monitoring, most commonly used in the water and wastewater industry.

Its simple use and reliable and accurate measurement technology make it one of the most commonly used level sensors by far.

How is hydrostatic pressure measured?

The hydrostatic pressure can be measured by a pressure sensor.
Principle of hydrostatic pressure measurement:
When the liquid level transmitter is put into a certain depth in the liquid to be measured, the pressure on the liquid-facing surface of the sensor.
The formula is: ρ = ρ .g.h + po
In the formula:
p: pressure on the liquid face of the transmitter
ρ: measured liquid density
g: local gravity acceleration
PO: atmospheric pressure on the liquid surface
h: the depth of the transmitter into the liquid
At the same time, the pressure of the liquid is introduced into the positive pressure chamber of the sensor through the air-conducting stainless steel. Then connect the atmospheric pressure PO on the liquid surface to the negative pressure chamber of the sensor. To offset so on the back of the sensor, the pressure measured by the sensor is: ρ .g.h. Obviously, by measuring the pressure p, the liquid level depth can be obtained.

What is the water level sensor?

The water level sensor is an instrument that can convert the water level parameter of the measured point into the corresponding power signal in real time. It is mainly composed of a fully sealed isolation membrane oil-filled sensor and a built-in high-performance microprocessor.
There are many types of water level sensors. There are three common types of ultrasonic liquid level sensors, servo liquid level sensors, and static pressure liquid level sensors. Due to the differences in their working principles and performance, their applications are also different.

What is the ultrasonic level sensor?

The ultrasonic level sensor is a non-contact liquid level sensor. Ultrasonic sensors are sensors developed using the characteristics of ultrasound. Ultrasound is a mechanical wave with a vibration frequency higher than that of sound waves, which is generated by the vibration of the transducing wafer under the excitation of voltage. It has high frequency, short wavelength, and small diffraction phenomena. In particular, it has good directivity and can be ray and directional propagation. Ultrasound has a great ability to penetrate liquids and solids. Especially in the opaque solids of sunlight, it can penetrate a depth of tens of meters.

What is meant by hydrostatic pressure?

Hydrostatic pressure refers to the pressure on the surface of an object when it is stationary or moving at a uniform speed. Its unit is pa. Static pressure plus dynamic pressure equals total pressure.
In fluid mechanics, it mainly refers to the following three types:
The pressure is generated by the fluid at rest.
The pressure is perpendicular to the direction of fluid movement when the fluid is flowing.
The gauge pressure value is measured in the fluid without being affected by the flow velocity.

How does a water pressure sensor work?

The core of the water pressure sensor is usually diffused silicon. The working principle of the water pressure sensor is that the pressure of the measured water pressure directly acts on the diaphragm of the sensor, so that the diaphragm produces a micro-displacement proportional to the water pressure. As a result, the resistance value of the sensor changes. Use an electronic circuit to detect this change. And convert and output a standard measurement signal corresponding to the pressure.

About the working principle of water pressure sensor, WIKA made a great introduction. Of course, if you need to know more about how the water pressure sensor works, please refer to Wikipedia: Pressure sensor

A pressure sensor may also be used to calculate the level of a fluid. This technique is commonly employed to measure the depth of a submerged body (such as a diver or submarine), or level of contents in a tank (such as in a water tower).

For most practical purposes, fluid level is directly proportional to pressure. In the case of fresh water where the contents are under atmospheric pressure, 1psi = 27.7 inH20 / 1Pa = 9.81 mmH20.

The basic equation for such a measurement is:

where P = pressure, ρ = density of the fluid, g = standard gravity, h = height of fluid column above pressure sensor

Liquid pressure sensor Calibration

If the transmitter is used for a period of time, it may cause a change in metering performance. There will be zero drift, and the measurement error will increase. Therefore, it is necessary to perform regular calibration.

The accuracy of the calibrator used for calibration should be more than 3 times the required calibration accuracy.

Use the pressure calibrator to input the standard pressure values of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of the range to the transmitter in the forward and reverse directions.

Check whether the current output signal is within the allowable accuracy range. If it is out of tolerance, it needs to be adjusted.

The adjustment method is as follows (4 ~ 20mA output):

(1) Input a standard pressure of 4mA with a pressure calibrator. Adjust the ZERO (zero) potentiometer. Make the 4mA current output within the accuracy range;
(2) Input a standard pressure of 20mA with a pressure calibrator. Adjust the SPAN (range) potentiometer. Make the 20mA current output within the accuracy range;
(3) ZERO and SPAN will contain each other. Repeat steps (1) (2) until the current output of 4mA point and 20mA point meets the accuracy requirements at the same time. Then check whether the current output of 25%, 50% and 75% range points meet the accuracy requirements. The transmitter is qualified if it meets the requirements.

Differental pressure liquid level sensor

SMT3151LT differential pressure level transmitter is usually used to measure the liquid level in a closed container. The differential pressure level transmitter uses the differential pressure generated by the gravity of the liquid to measure the liquid level in the container.

The high-pressure side measuring tube is always filled with water due to steam condensation, keeping the pressure constant. The low-pressure side measuring tube forms a communication device with the container. The pressure changes with the liquid level in the container.

Sino-Inst offers overs 100 DP transmitters, for liquid level, pressure measurement. Our differential pressure (dp) level transmitters suit to measeure water and other liquid level.

A wide variety of DP level transmitters are available to you, such as SMT3151LT Differential pressure level transmitter.

SM3151LT liquid level pressure-differential pressure transmitter

Water pressure sensor

Water pressure sensors are usually used to measure the water level in the water tank or the rate of change of the water level. The sensor is mounted on top of an open tube submerged in the container.

As the water level rises, the air above the water in the tube is compressed, which increases the pressure on the sensor. An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is used to convert the signal from the sensor to a digital value.

They can also be used to measure the pressure in running water pipes (for example, in a water supply system). It automatically determines whether it is necessary to start the pump to increase the flow rate.

They can be used to measure the depth of submerged objects. For example, in deep sea diving.

Of course, we can also calculate the liquid level based on water pressure. Or you can directly refer to our static pressure level transmitter.

Q & A

How does pressure sensor work?

What is the working principle of a pressure sensor?
A pressure sensor works by converting pressure into an analog electrical signal.
The demand for pressure measuring instruments increased during the steam age.
When pressure sensing technologies were first manufactured,
they were mechanical and used Bourdon tube gauges to move a needle,
and give a visual indication of pressure.
Nowadays we measure pressure electronically using pressure transducers and pressure switches.

What is a capacitive pressure sensor?

Capacitive pressure sensors typically use a thin diaphragm, as one plate of a capacitor.
The applied pressure causes the diaphragm to deflect and the capacitance to change.
You may like: Diaphragm Seal Pressure/ Differential Pressure Transmitters
This change may or may not be linear, and is typically on the order of several picofarads out of a total capacitance of 50-100 pF.
The change in capacitance may be used to control the frequency of an oscillator or to vary the coupling of an AC signal through a network.
The electronics for signal conditioning should be located close to the sensing element,
to prevent errors due to stray capacitance.

What are the various types of sensors used to measure pressure?

Pressure measurements can be taken to determine a range of different values,
depending on whether the pressure is relative to the atmosphere,
vacuum conditions, or other measuring factors.
Pressure sensors are instruments that can be designed
and configured to detect pressure across these variables.

Absolute pressure sensors are intended to measure pressure relative to a vacuum,
and they are designed with a reference vacuum enclosed within the sensor itself.
These sensors can also measure atmospheric pressure.
Similarly, a gauge pressure sensor detects values relative to atmospheric pressure,
and part of the device is usually exposed to ambient conditions.
This device may be employed for blood pressure measurements.
For more information on the differences between the gauge and absolute pressure.
More about: Absolute Pressure Vs Gauge Pressure.

How to take off a high pressure sensor on thr liquid line?

Generally, the pressure sensor is installed behind the pressure valve. When you need to remove the pressure sensor, simply close the pressure valve.
When purchasing a pressure transmitter, the manufacturer will recommend configuring a valve block. Or according to the measurement situation, install the pressure guiding tube. This can facilitate the installation and disassembly of the pressure transmitter, while ensuring continuous flow of the pipeline.

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 the difference between pressure switch and pressure transmitter?

Pressure Switch:
When the pressure in the system is higher or lower than the rated safety pressure. The disc in the sensor moves instantaneously. Push the switch connector on or off by connecting the guide rod. When the pressure drops or rises to the rated recovery value, the disc resets instantly. The switch automatically resets. Or simply put, when the measured pressure exceeds the rated value, the free end of the elastic element is displaced. Push the switching element directly or after comparison. Change the on-off status of the switching element. To achieve the purpose of controlling the measured pressure. The elastic elements used in the pressure switch include single-turn spring tube, diaphragm, diaphragm box and bellows.
Pressure Transmitter:
When the pressure signal acts on the sensor. The pressure sensor converts the pressure signal into an electrical signal. Amplified by differential amplifier and output amplifier. Finally, the V / A voltage and current are converted into a 4-20mA standard current output signal in linear correspondence with the measured medium (liquid) level pressure.

Precautions for the use and installation of the submersible level sensor:

1. When the liquid level transmitter is transported and stored, it should be restored to the original packaging and stored in a cool, dry and ventilated warehouse.

2. If an abnormality is found during use, turn off the power supply. Stop using it, and check it.

3. Connect the power supply according to the wiring instructions.

How to install the submersible level sensor ?

Total Time:

The ground terminal of the input liquid level gauge should be reliably grounded. The power shield should be connected to it.

When the transmitter is installed on the side, the bending radius of the air guide cable should be greater than 10 cm. Avoid excessive bending to damage the air guide cable.

In the occasions with large vibration. Wire can be wrapped around the transmitter. Use steel wire for shock absorption. So as not to break the cable.

The installation direction of the transmitter is vertical. The input installation position should be far away from the liquid inlet and outlet and agitator.

When measuring the level of flowing or agitated liquid. Usually the steel pipe with inner diameter Φ45mm is fixed in water. Then put the input level gauge into the steel pipe and use it. Make small holes at different heights on the opposite side of the liquid flow direction, so that the water can enter the pipe smoothly.

When the liquid level gauge is installed in a stationary deep well or pool, the steel pipe with an inner diameter of about Φ45mm is usually fixed in the water. Then put the input level gauge into the steel pipe and use it. Make small holes at different heights to allow water to enter the pipe.

When the medium fluctuates greatly and the air guide cable is very long. The probe should be fixed with a sleeve to prevent the probe from swinging and affecting the measurement accuracy.

Sludge, oil residue and other substances are easily deposited in the tank bottom or bilge. It is recommended to move the measuring probe at a certain height away from the bottom of the tank (cabin). In order to avoid debris blocking the probe.

If there is any problem with the submersible pressure transducer during use. You can call the Sino-Inst staff to get a timely solution.

If you need a portable instrument, we also provide Portable Ultrasonic Water Depth Gauge for water depth measurement.

What is a submersible pressure transducer?

Why we use the 4 20mA in transmitting signal?

Why is it 4/20 mA?

The reason for using a current signal is that it is less susceptible to interference. And the internal resistance of the current source is infinite. The wire resistance is connected in series in the loop without affecting the accuracy. And it can be transmitted over ordinary twisted pairs for hundreds of meters.

Due to explosion protection requirements, the upper limit is 20 mA: the spark energy caused by a current interruption of 20 mA is not sufficient to ignite the gas.

The reason why the lower limit is not set to 0mA is to detect a disconnection. During normal operation, the value will not be lower than 4mA. And when the transmission line is disconnected due to a fault, the loop current will drop to 0.

Usually, 20mA is used as the disconnection alarm value. There are two more reasons.
One reason is to avoid interference.
Another reason is that the two-wire system uses 4-20 mA of current. That is, the two wires are the signal line and the power line. The 4 mA is used to provide the quiescent operating current of the circuit for the sensor.

More Diaphragm Pressure Gauge Technical Guide

A diaphragm pressure gauge is a tool that measures the pressure of a gas or liquid by using a flexible diaphragm. The diaphragm will move in response to changes in pressure, and this movement is then translated into a reading on a dial.

These gauges are commonly used in industries like manufacturing, oil and gas, and chemical processing to monitor and control pressure in various processes. They are also commonly used in HVAC systems to measure the pressure of air and other gases.

Diaphragm pressure gauges are relatively easy to use and maintain, and they are often chosen for their accuracy, durability, and affordability. They come in different sizes, materials, and pressure ranges, making them versatile tools that can be used in a wide range of applications.

Diaphragm pressure gauge construction

A diaphragm pressure gauge is a device that uses a diaphragm with a known pressure to measure pressure in a fluid.

It has many different uses, such as monitoring the pressure of a canister of gas, measuring atmospheric pressure. Or recording the strength of the vacuum in a vacuum pump.

The diaphragm pressure gauge consists of a circular membrane, made from sheet metal of precise dimensions, which can either be flat or corrugated.

The diaphragm is mechanically connected to the transmission mechanism, which will amplify the small deflections of the diaphragm, and transfer them to the pointer.

The animation below shows the pressure gauge working principle.

You can see the movement of the diaphragm and the functioning of the transmission mechanism.

The process pressure is applied to the lower side of the diaphragm, while the upper side is at atmospheric pressure.

The differential pressure arising across the diaphragm lifts up the diaphragm and puts the pointer in motion.

The deflection of the diaphragm is very small (+/- 1 mm), making it necessary to use a high-ratio multiplying movement, to rotate the pointer along the full length of the scale.

The actuation of such a high-ratio transmission mechanism is possible, because diaphragm deflection is able to generate large forces.

    • machine building and general plant construction

There are various types of pressure instruments. In addition to pressure sensors, pressure transmitters. Pressure gauges are also commonly used.

The function of a pressure gauge is to measure the pressure of fluids and gases in various industrial, commercial, and residential applications. Pressure gauges are used to monitor and regulate the pressure of liquids and gases in tanks, pipelines, and other containers to ensure that They are operating safely and efficiently.

The pressure gauge works by measuring the force that the fluid or gas exerts on a sensing element, which is typically a flexible diaphragm or a curved tube called a Bourdon tube. The sensing element then converts this force into a mechanical or electrical signal, which is displayed on the gauge as a pressure reading.
.

In summary, the function of a pressure gauge is to provide accurate and reliable measurements of pressure in various applications to ensure the safety and efficiency of systems and equipment.

Difference between bourdon tube and diaphragm pressure gauge

The working principle of the pressure gauge is through the elastic deformation of the sensitive element in the gauge. Then the pressure change is transmitted to the pointer by the conversion mechanism of the movement in the watch. Cause the pointer to rotate to show pressure. Sensitive element may be a Bourdon tube, diaphragm, bellows.

Therefore, the essential difference between the bourdon tube and diaphragm pressure gauge is the different sensitive components for pressure measurement.

Bourdon tube pressure gauge:
The sensitive element of the Bourdon tube is an elastic C-shaped tube bent into a circle with an oval cross-sectional area. The pressure of the measuring medium acts on the inside of the wave tube. In this way, the elliptical cross-section of the Bourdon tube will tend to be circular. Due to the slight deformation of the Bourdon tube, a certain ring stress is formed. This ring stress causes the Bourdon tube to extend outward. Since the head of the elastic Bourdon tube is not fixed, it will deform slightly. The amount of deformation depends on the pressure of the measuring medium. The deformation of the Bourdon tube displays the pressure of the measured medium indirectly by the pointer through the movement.

Diaphragm pressure gauge:
The sensitive element of the Diaphragm is composed of two membranes with circular waves connected together. The pressure of the measuring medium acts on the inside of the capsule cavity. The resulting deformation can be used to indirectly measure the pressure of the medium. The pressure value is indicated by the pointer. The capsule pressure gauge is generally used to measure the pressure of the gas, and it can also measure the micro-pressure and over-pressure protection to a certain extent. When several bellows sensitive components are stacked together, a large transmission force will be generated to measure very small pressure.

Bourdon tubes have the following advantages over diaphragm elements:

  • They cover small pressure ranges from 0 to 0.6 bar up to high pressure ranges from 0 to 10,000 bar.
  • They enable accuracies up to class 0.1 of the calibration regulations.
  • They are easier to manufacture.
  • They can easily be connected or sealed with the pressurised components. Depending on the material and pressure load, they are either soldered, welded or screwed to them.

Diaphragm pressure gauges are used when a Bourdon tube pressure gauge reaches its limits.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

In a pressure gauge, a diaphragm is a flexible membrane that responds to changes in pressure by expanding or contracting. The movement of the diaphragm is then converted into a reading on the gauge, which displays the pressure of the fluid or gas being measured.

Diaphragms can be made from a variety of materials, such as stainless steel or synthetic materials like rubber or silicone. They are designed to be durable and withstand the pressure and conditions of the environment in which they are used.

The capsule pressure gauge is also called micro pressure gauge. It is suitable for measuring the low micro-pressure of liquid, gas or steam which has no explosion risk, no crystallization, no solidification, and corrosive effect on copper and copper alloys.
The capsule pressure gauge uses the capsule as a sensitive element for measuring small pressures. Measure the micro-pressure and negative pressure of the corrosive effect on the copper alloy, no explosion hazard gas. Widely used in boiler ventilation, gas pipeline, combustion device and other similar equipment.

In the pressure gauge, the pressure measured by the diaphragm is generally regarded as relative pressure. Generally, the relative point is selected as atmospheric pressure. The elastic deformation of the diaphragm under the pressure of the medium. Amplified by the gear transmission mechanism of the pressure gauge. The pressure gauge will show the relative value to the atmospheric pressure (either high or low).

There are several different types of pressure gauges that are commonly used in different applications:

Bourdon Tube Pressure Gauge: This type of gauge uses a curved tube that is attached to the gauge mechanism. As the pressure of the fluid or gas being measured increases, the tube straightens out, causing the gauge mechanism to move and display the pressure reading.

Diaphragm Pressure Gauge: As we discussed earlier, diaphragm pressure gauges use a flexible membrane that responds to changes in pressure by expanding or contracting. This movement is then converted into a reading on the gauge.

Differential Pressure Gauge: This type of gauge measures the difference in pressure between two points in a system. It consists of two pressure inputs and a gauge mechanism that calculates the difference between the two inputs.

Digital Pressure Gauge: This type of gauge uses electronic sensors to measure pressure and displays the reading on a digital screen.

Compound Pressure Gauge: This type of gauge can measure both positive and negative pressures. It uses two Bourdon tubes, one for positive pressure and one for negative pressure, to display the reading on the gauge.

Overall, the type of pressure gauge used will depend on the specific application and requirements. Each type of gauge has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it’s important to choose the right one for the job.

How this Water Level Sensor Works

Well Water Level Sensor is one type of Hydrostatic Level Sensor.

The basic working principle of Hydrostatic Level Sensor is static pressure level measurement.

In liquid, the pressure generated at a certain depth is generated by the weight of the medium itself above the measurement point. It is proportional to the density of the medium and the local acceleration of gravity.

The formula P = ρgh reflects the proportional relationship between them.

Where P = pressure, ρ = medium density, g = gravity acceleration, h = depth of measurement point.

Therefore, the physical quantity measured by the input liquid level gauge is actually pressure. It can be understood by the calibration unit mH2O of the input level gauge. The actual liquid level must be obtained by conversion after knowing the two parameters of density and gravity acceleration. In the industrial field, such conversion is usually performed by a secondary instrument or PLC.

The Hydrostatic Level Sensor mainly measures corrosive liquids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide, etc. Or chemical and electroplating wastewater. Mainly used in measuring corrosive media. It has the advantages of strong corrosion resistance and stable performance.

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.

Care of Sanitary Surfaces

All Sino-Instrument 3-A marked sanitary instruments have carefully prepared Wetted Surfaces.

These surfaces contain no cracks or crevices, where germs could breed, and they are polished to a maximum roughness average (Ra) of 32.

The “wetted surfaces” of an instrument are the surfaces, that will come in contact with your process fluid.

Consult the diagrams below to see the wetted surface, for the instrument you have received.

SANITARY BIMETAL THERMOMETER

All Sino-Instrument sanitary instruments are shipped with packaging that protects the wetted surfaces.

To preserve the sanitary compliance of the instrument, CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN to prevent any scratching, denting, or abrasion of the wetted surfaces prior to or during installation.

Drawings of SI-WSS Sanitary Bimetal Thermometers

The working principle of Tri Clamp Sanitary Thermometers:

Bimetal thermometers measure temperature through the inside of the system. The temperature sensing is realized by the coil spring bimetallic sheet made of bimetallic material.

Its bimetal material is composed of two inseparable metal sheets. Because the thermal expansion coefficients of the two metal sheets are different. Therefore, different degrees of stretching deformation will occur under the condition of temperature change. This stretching deformation is approximately proportional to temperature.

One end of the metal sheet is fixed and the other end is fixed integrally with the indicating shaft. Therefore, when the metal sheet is stretched and deformed, the indicator shaft is driven to rotate and the corresponding temperature value is indicated on the dial.
