Applications for Pressure Level Transmitters

The application which is suitable for diaphragm seal system… For measuring the liquid level, density, flow, and pressure of :

  • High/low temperature fluids
  • Highly corrosive/high viscosity fluids
  • The fluids which may cause clogging of impulse piping in the low temperature
  • Toxic fluids
  • The fluids containing suspended solids which are deposited in the impulse piping and may cause clogging.\

Diaphragm flange material selection

The biggest advantage of the Diaphragm Seal Pressure Level Transmitter is that different diaphragm materials can be selected. According to different corrosion, media to achieve the best corrosion resistance. The commonly used diaphragm materials are SUS316L stainless steel. Tantalum, Hastelloy, Monel, Pure titanium, F4, etc. 

When choosing a diaphragm pressure transmitter, in addition to the correct choice of structure and range, the more important thing is to choose the material. The so-called reasonable is to consider its corrosion resistance, but also to consider the economy. For example, the corrosion resistance of the tantalum diaphragm and Hastelloy is excellent, but it is expensive. Only used in environments with high corrosivity and other cheap materials are not suitable.

The following table introduces several common corrosion-resistant materials that can be selected for corrosion media. For your reference.

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.

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).
