Diaphragm Seal Pressure Transmitters work with Diaphragm Seals for those harsh working conditions. The purpose of the diaphragm seal is to isolate the pressure sensor from the process medium.
The diaphragm seal makes measuring pressure safer and more reliable. It is ideal for protecting pressure process transmitters even under harsh working conditions. The diaphragm seal can isolate the pressure sensor from the process medium. No matter absolute pressure or differential pressure measurement. Mounting with capillary and flange, Diaphragm Seal pressure transmitter can measure pressure, liquid level and flow.When the environment is extremely hot or cold, or when the process connection is difficult to connect to the measuring instrument. When the measured medium is corrosive, sticky, sticky or easily cured. Or when the process is not chemically compatible with the instrument material. It is recommended to use a diaphragm seal.
Sino-Inst offers a variety of Diaphragm Seal Pressure Transmitters for industrial pressure measurement. If you have any questions, please contact our sales engineers.
Diaphragm seals, also known as chemical seals or remote seals, are used for pressure measurements when the process medium should not come into contact with the pressurised parts of the measuring instrument.
A diaphragm seal has two primary tasks:
Separation of the measuring instrument from the process medium
Transfer of the pressure to the measuring instrument
Diaphragm seals offer the advantage that the “contact surface” between pressure medium and diaphragm is relatively large. Thus ensuring accurate pressure measurement, especially for very low pressures (< 600 mbar). Furthermore, they can be easily dismounted, e.g. for cleaning or calibration purposes.
Rosemount 1199
Rosemount 1199 remote transmission diaphragm system provides the world’s most extensive product variety and specifications to meet the requirements of various measurements and applications.
There are the following types of remote transmission differential pressure / level transmitters: 1) PFW flat type remote transmission device 2) RTW thread installation type remote transmission device 3) EFW inserted barrel remote transmission device 4) RFW flange mounted remote transmission device 5) SCW hygienic remote transmission device
The 1199 remote diaphragm can be assembled to Sino-Inst differential, gauge, and absolute pressure transmitters and liquid level transmitters.
Basically, diaphragm seals are used in all pressure measurement processes to avoid direct contact between the measuring instrument and the medium during this process.
In addition, if the measuring point cannot be installed or read because the measuring point is located in a hard-to-reach location, a diaphragm seal can also be used.
In both cases, the applied pressure is transferred to the measuring instrument through the system fill fluid in the diaphragm seal housing.
The diaphragm of the seal can be made of different materials, such as stainless steel, Hastelloy, Monel or tantalum. In addition, coatings with ECTFE, PFA or gold can also be used.
We can provide the best diaphragm seal design, materials, system fill fluid and accessories for each application. The combined configuration of the pressure measuring instrument and the diaphragm seal is mainly determined by the special application conditions of the diaphragm sealing system.
It is mainly composed of pressure measuring probe, capillary tube, filling liquid and pressure transmission head.
One end of the pressure measuring probe is provided with an elastic metal diaphragm
When the pressure acts directly on the surface of the measuring diaphragm, the diaphragm will have a slight deformation.
The high-precision circuit on the measuring diaphragm transforms this tiny deformation into a highly linear voltage signal proportional to the pressure and also proportional to the excitation voltage.
Then use a special chip to convert this voltage signal into an industry standard 4-2OmA current signal or 1-5V voltage signal.
Because the measuring diaphragm adopts standard integrated circuit, which contains linear and temperature compensation circuits, it can achieve high precision and high stability.
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.
Diaphragm pressure gauge consists of a diaphragm isolator and a universal pressure gauge to form a system pressure gauge. The spring tube is evacuated by special equipment. And fill people with irrigation fluid. Seal it with a diaphragm. When the pressure P of the measured medium acts on the diaphragm, it deforms. The working fluid filled in the compression system makes the working fluid form a △ P equivalent to P, with the help of work. The conduction of the liquid causes a corresponding elastic deformation-displacement at the free end of the elastic element (spring tube) in the pressure meter. According to the working principle of the pressure instrument matched with it, the measured pressure value is displayed.
Diaphragm pressure gauges consist of a system of diaphragms and universal pressure gauges. Diaphragm pressure gauges and equipment are mainly connected with threaded connections, flange connections and sanitary clamps. Diaphragm pressure gauges are suitable for measuring the pressure of medium with strong corrosion, high temperature, high viscosity, easy to crystallize, easy to solidify, and solid floats, as well as occasions where the measurement medium must be avoided from entering the general-purpose pressure meter and to prevent the accumulation of sediment and easy to clean.
The characteristics of the filling fluid determine the performance of the sealing system to a large extent, both in response time and temperature to the heat dissipation conditions. The initial consideration in choosing a sealed diaphragm to fill fluid is the media compatibility of the process. Glycerin, silicone oil and halogenated carbon are the most commonly used sealed diaphragm filling fluids. In general there are three ways to fill a diaphragm seal: 1. Filling a diaphragm seal after assembly of the seal to the instrument 2. Filling a diaphragm seal before assembly of the seal to the instrument 3. Filling a diaphragm seal with a capillary between the seal and the instrument

Applications of Remote Seal Differential Pressure Transmitter
Remote Seal Differential Pressure Transmitter is a pressure sensor assembly used to prevent the medium in the pipeline from directly entering the transmitter. It is connected to the transmitter by a capillary filled with fluid. It is used to measure the liquid level, flow rate and pressure of liquid, gas or steam. Then it is converted into 4 ~ 20mA DC signal output. The applicable media are as follows:
Viscous medium at high temperature;
Easily crystallized medium;
Precipitation medium with solid particles or suspended matter;
Strongly corrosive or highly toxic medium;
It can eliminate the occurrence of leakage of the pressure guiding pipe and pollute the surrounding environment. It can be avoided when using the isolation liquid. Because of the unstable measurement signal.
Continuously and accurately measure the interface and density;
The remote transmission device can avoid the mixing of different instantaneous media. So that the measurement results truly reflect the actual situation of process changes;
Places with high sanitation requirements;
Such as in the production of food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. Not only does the transmitter contact with the media meet hygienic standards, but it should be easy to rinse to prevent cross-contamination of different batches of media.
In the use process, we should pay attention to consider the following situations:
When measuring the liquid pressure, the installation location of the remote pressure transmitter should avoid the impact of the liquid (that is, the water hammer phenomenon). In order to prevent the sensor from being damaged by overpressure.
When the remote pressure transmitter transmitter freezes in winter. The transmitter installed outdoors must take anti-freezing measures. Avoid expansion of liquid in the pressure port due to icing volume. Lead to sensor damage.
When wiring, pass the cable through the waterproof connector (accessory) or the flexible tube and tighten the sealing nut. In order to prevent rainwater etc. from leaking into the transmitter housing through the cable.
When the remote pressure transmitter is used to measure the liquid pressure. The pressure tap should be opened on the side of the process pipe. In order to avoid sedimentation and accumulation of slag.
To prevent the flange liquid transmitter from contacting with corrosive or overheated media. It is also necessary to prevent scum from depositing in the duct;
When measuring the pressure of the gas, the pressure port should be opened at the top of the process pipeline. And the flange level transmitter should also be installed in the upper part of the process pipeline. In order to quickly deposit the deposited liquid into the process pipeline.
When measuring the steam or other high temperature medium of the remote pressure transmitter, it is necessary to connect a condenser such as a buffer tube (coil tube). The operating temperature of the transmitter should not be exceeded.
Remote Seal Differential Pressure Transmitters Working Principle
What is a diaphragm seal?
Diaphragm seals, also known as chemical seals or remote seals, are used for pressure measurements when the process medium should not come into contact with the pressurised parts of the measuring instrument.
A diaphragm seal has two primary tasks:
Separation of the measuring instrument from the process medium
Transfer of the pressure to the measuring instrument
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.

Diaphragm seals offer the advantage that the “contact surface” between pressure medium and diaphragm is relatively large. Thus ensuring accurate pressure measurement, especially for very low pressures (< 600 mbar). Furthermore, they can be easily dismounted, e.g. for cleaning or calibration purposes.

Basically, diaphragm seals are used in all pressure measurement processes to avoid direct contact between the measuring instrument and the medium during this process.
In addition, if the measuring point cannot be installed or read because the measuring point is located in a hard-to-reach location, a diaphragm seal can also be used.
In both cases, the applied pressure is transferred to the measuring instrument through the system fill fluid in the diaphragm seal housing.
The diaphragm of the seal can be made of different materials, such as stainless steel, Hastelloy, Monel or tantalum. In addition, coatings with ECTFE, PFA or gold can also be used.
We can provide the best diaphragm seal design, materials, system fill fluid and accessories for each application. The combined configuration of the pressure measuring instrument and the diaphragm seal is mainly determined by the special application conditions of the diaphragm sealing system.
Diaphragm type level transmitter working principle
Smart differential pressure transmitters are often used to measure liquid level, flow rate, etc. Differential pressure transmitter cooperates with sealing diaphragm, capillary, etc.
The differential pressure type liquid level gauge uses the principle that when the liquid level in the container changes, the static pressure generated by the liquid column also changes accordingly, as shown in the figure.
For closed tanks. Set the bottom pressure to P. If the pressure on the liquid surface is P3 and the liquid level height is H, then: P = P3 + Hpg (3-11) In the formula: p is the medium density; g is the acceleration of gravity. From the formula ((3-1 “available: △ P = P-P3 = Hpg (3-12) Usually the density of the measured medium is known, the pressure difference △ P is proportional to the liquid level height H. The pressure difference on the side will know the measured liquid level height.
When the container under test is open, the gas pressure is atmospheric pressure. The negative pressure chamber of the differential pressure gauge can be vented to the atmosphere. It is known that the pressure gauge can also be used to measure the liquid level at this time.
If the container is closed, you need to connect the negative pressure chamber of the differential pressure gauge to the gas phase of the container.
Pressure level transmitter is good for level measurement. Most of the time, we use submersible hydrostatic level sensor for the level measurement. When you can not use the probe of hydrostatic level sensor, you can try with this pressure level transmitter. Pressure level transmitter, is one type of DP level measure instrument, with the diaphragm.
SMT3151LT Differential pressure (DP) level transmitter a new type of differential pressure (DP) transmitter produced by advanced technology and equipment. Continuous level, flow and differential pressure measurement. Liquid level measurement, is the most common measurement process in continuous production processes, such as: petroleum and chemical industry. The liquid level measuring instrument currently widely used, is the differential pressure level transmitter.
Remote Diaphragm seal pressure transmitter with capillary is used as a level transmitter. Diaphragm Seals also called chemical seals, are used in applications where pressure sensor requires isolation from the process media. These applications are corrosive, high temperature, clogged. Or must sanitary fluids to remain in the pipeline or container. The pressure of the liquid in the process does not affect the pressure sensor. Instead, it is applied to the remote seal. And through the capillary, hydraulic pressure is transmitted to the pressure sensor. Installing and filling the diaphragm seal, the impact on instrument performance will be minimized. More

What is differential pressure transmitter working principle?
The basic principle of a differential pressure transmitter is to divide a space into two chambers with sensitive elements. When introducing pressure into the two chambers respectively. 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. A differential pressure transmitter is a transmitter that measures the pressure difference between the two ends of the transmitter. Output standard signals (such as 4 ~ 20mA, 0 ~ 5V). Differential pressure transmitters are different from general pressure transmitters in that they have two pressure interfaces. Differential pressure transmitters are generally divided into positive pressure end and negative pressure end. In general, the pressure at the positive pressure end of the differential pressure transmitter should be greater than the pressure in the negative pressure section to measure.

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.
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.

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.
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.
Different Types of Pressure have different characteristics. Different pressure transmitters bear different pressure types. Common pressure types include absolute pressure,…

Diaphragm Seal System
Remote Diaphragm seal pressure transmitter, is the capillary type pressure transmitter. This type pressure transmitter, assembling diaphragm seals to field transmitters for the purpose of measuring pressure, differential pressure, level, and flow.
Basically, diaphragm seals are used in all pressure measurement processes to avoid direct contact between the measuring instrument and the medium during this process. In addition, if the measuring point cannot be installed or read because the measuring point is located in a hard-to-reach location, a diaphragm seal can also be used. In both cases, the applied pressure is transferred to the measuring instrument through the system fill fluid in the diaphragm seal housing. The diaphragm of the seal can be made of different materials, such as stainless steel, Hastelloy, Monel or tantalum. In addition, coatings with ECTFE, PFA or gold can also be used.
We can provide the best diaphragm seal design, materials, system fill fluid and accessories for each application. The combined configuration of the pressure measuring instrument and the diaphragm seal is mainly determined by the special application conditions of the diaphragm sealing system.
How does a diaphragm pressure sensor work?
When the diaphragm seal pressure transmitter is working, the high and low pressure side isolation diaphragms and the filling liquid transfer the process pressure to the center filling liquid. The filling fluid in the center transmits the pressure to the sensing diaphragm in the center of the δ-chamber sensor. The sensing diaphragm is a tensioned elastic element, and its displacement changes with the differential pressure. For GP gauge pressure transmitters, the atmospheric pressure is applied to the low-pressure side of the sensing diaphragm. AP absolute pressure transmitter, the low pressure side always maintains a reference pressure. The maximum displacement of the sensing diaphragm is 0.004 inches (0.10 mm). The displacement is proportional to the pressure. The two capacitance fixed plates of the measuring diaphragm are linearly converted into a 2-wire current, voltage or digital HART output signal of 4-20mADC by the amplifying circuit.
What is a diaphragm seal?
Diaphragm seals, also known as chemical seals or remote seals, are used for pressure measurements when the process medium should not come into contact with the pressurised parts of the measuring instrument.
A diaphragm seal has two primary tasks:
Separation of the measuring instrument from the process medium
Transfer of the pressure to the measuring instrument
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.
Applicaitons of diaphragm seal
Typical applications where a diaphragm seal provides a cost-effective solution, to protecting the pressure instrument are:
In applications where the process fluid is corrosive;
In applications where the process fluid has a high viscosity, is comprised of slurries, sludge or other material that can actually coat, or damage a traditional pressure measuring device;
In applications where the process fluid can freeze or polymerize, thus causing a condition that might lead to the instrument becoming immobilized, or incapable of transmitting an accurate pressure measurement or signal.
The process side of the seal is isolated by a flexible diaphragm. The internal space between this diaphragm and pressure measuring sensor is filled with a system fill fluid. The pressure is transmitted from the measured medium, by the elastic diaphragm into the fluid. And from there to the measuring element, i.e. to the pressure measuring instrumentor the transmitter.
Often, between the diaphragm seal and pressure measuring instrument, a capillary is connected. Capillary can eliminate or to minimize temperature effects from the hot fluid to the measuring instrument.
A Remote seal is mounted to the process by threaded, flanged, in-line, sanitary, or other connections. Usually, the fittings consist of T-pieces which are integrated into a pipeline, or of welding sockets which are welded to a pipeline, the process reactor or a tank.
This diaphragm seal type offers the advantage, that the “contact surface” between pressure medium and the diaphragm is relatively large. Thus ensuring accurate pressure measurement, especially for very low pressures (< 600 mbar).
Although standard remote seal bodies and diaphragms, are made of stainless steel, a variety of materials, from carbon steel to Hastelloy® C-276, are available to meet the demand of most applications.
A remote seal from Sino-Instrument can operate in pressure applications from 10″ Hg to 20,000 psi, and media temperatures between -130°F and 752°F. We can try to Learn more about the functionality, areas of application and advantages of a diaphragm seal in the following WIKA video.
The electronic watch case can rotate 360 degrees at the maximum. The positioning screw can fix it at any position.
Single-crystal silicon remote flange is connected with the matching flange conforming to ANSI / DIN standard. The matching flange should be equipped with soft gasket and fixed bolts and nuts. The user can choose to install bolts and nuts.
For the remote transmission pressure transmitter with capillary, if the remote transmission sealing device is lower than the transmitter body, the maximum height drop between the remote transmission sealing device and the transmitter body should be less than 5m. When the working pressure is lower than 100kPa absolute pressure, the transmitter body must be lower than the remote transmission sealing device.
The minimum bending radius of the capillary is 75mm, winding is strictly prohibited
Q&A
Parameters that determine the design of a remote seal transmitter
Location of the transmitter (indoor versus outdoor). Temperatures (process and ambient). Exposure to vacuum. Pressure (operating and maximum). Length of capillary. Type of seal desired. Process connection, material of construction and similar considerations. Installation requirements. Measurement span.
When are threaded connections used with diaphragm seals?
The combinations of diaphragm seals with threaded connection can be used for processes with extreme temperatures and with aggressive, adhesive, corrosive, environmentally hazardous or toxic media.
Why are there different system fill fluids with diaphragm seals?
In selecting the system fill fluid for diaphragm seals, factors such as compatibility (physiologically harmless) and also temperature and pressure conditions at the measurement location are of crucial importance. Depending on the system fill fluid, the appropriate minimum and maximum operating temperature range must be observed.
How are the diaphragm seals connected?
The diaphragm seals are available with female or male thread in their basic design. Due to the wide variety of available process connections they can be mounted to many different connections without any problems. Generally these connections are T-pieces which are integrated into a pipeline or welded to a pipeline by means of a welding socket.

SMT3151TLT Pressure Level Transmitter is an economical flange direct-mounted pressure transmitter. An isolation diaphragm box is added as the measuring liquid contact part. One port is connected to the process tank (or pipeline) by flange (or other connection method). Mainly used to measure high-temperature, easy to solidify or crystallize, containing suspended solids, too viscous, corrosive or other media that need to maintain sanitary conditions and cannot be contaminated.
Sino-Inst offers a variety of Diaphragm Seal Pressure Transmitters for industrial pressure measurement. If you have any questions, please contact our sales engineers.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
Pressure gauge calibration must have corresponding metrological qualifications. Pressure transmitters are generally not required except for production and new construction.
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.
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).
Sino-Inst is a Pressure Level Transmitters manufacturer in China.

SMT3151LT Flange Mounted Differential Pressure Transmitter can replace EJA210E. It is a functional replacement for Rosemount 3051 and Yokogawa EJA.
The single-flange pressure/level transmitter can accurately measure the liquid level and density of various containers. There are two types of flat flange and plug-in flange. It is suitable for high-viscosity medium or suspended liquid measurement.
Viscous medium at high temperature;
Easily crystallized medium;
Precipitation medium with solid particles or suspended matter;
Strongly corrosive or highly toxic medium;
It can eliminate the leakage of the pressure guiding pipe and pollute the surrounding environment. It can avoid the instability of the measurement signal when the isolation liquid is used. The tedious work of frequently supplementing the isolation liquid is required;
Continuously and accurately measure the interface and density;
The remote transmission device can avoid the mixing of different instantaneous media so that the measurement results truly reflect the actual situation of process changes;
Places with high sanitation requirements;
Such as in the production of food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. Not only the transmitter contacting the media parts meet hygienic standards, but also should be easy to wash. To prevent cross-contamination of different batches of media.
Pressure level transmitter is good for level measurement. Most of the time, we use submersible hydrostatic level sensor for the level measurement. When you can not use the probe of hydrostatic level sensor, you can try with this pressure level transmitter. Pressure level transmitter, is one type of DP level measure instrument, with the diaphragm.
SMT3151LT Differential pressure (DP) level transmitter a new type of differential pressure (DP) transmitter produced by advanced technology and equipment. Continuous level, flow and differential pressure measurement. Liquid level measurement, is the most common measurement process in continuous production processes, such as: petroleum and chemical industry. The liquid level measuring instrument currently widely used, is the differential pressure level transmitter.
Flange Mounted Differential Pressure Transmitter Working principle
The Flange Mounted Differential Pressure Transmitter is directly mounted on the reserved flange at the bottom of the pipeline or container. It contacts the liquid through the isolation diaphragm.
When the diaphragm is pressurized, it will produce a slight deformation. The displacement of the diaphragm will move with the change of the differential pressure. This change is accurately converted into a 4-20mA DC two-wire current, voltage or digital HART output signal by the amplifier circuit to achieve pressure measurement and transmission.
Single flange. VS. Double flanges differential pressure level transmitter
In principle: all are differential pressure transmitters + flange guide pressure;
In terms of structure: the single flange liquid zd position transmitter has only one flange diaphragm box connected to the high pressure side, and the low pressure side to the atmosphere. The double flange liquid level transmitter is high and low pressure side through oil-filled capillary It is connected with two flanged membrane return boxes. There is also a capillary. The single flange transmitter is installed below, and a capillary is drawn from the low pressure side of the single flange transmitter to the upper flange membrane box.
In terms of engineering applications: all can only measure the liquid level of fixed density. The single-flange transmitter can only be used for the liquid level of atmospheric equipment that can be imagined with the atmosphere. The double-flange transmitter can be suitable. Answer: Use closed equipment kettle to measure liquid level;
From the economical point of view, the double flange is definitely more expensive than the single flange. After all, there is one more flange capsule and capillary.
How to choose flange type level transmitter?
Flange-level transmitters often require special environmental processing during production. Requires small range and high accuracy. Flange-level transmitters are also required to withstand high temperatures, corrosion resistance, and high overload withstand capability. Therefore, the scope of application must be clearly defined when selecting the flange type liquid level transmitter.
When choosing a flange-type liquid level transmitter, the following factors are mainly considered:
The measurement object, such as the physical and chemical properties of the measured medium. And working pressure and temperature, installation conditions, speed of liquid level change, etc .;
Measurement and control requirements. Such as measurement range, measurement accuracy, and display method. On-site instructions, long-distance instructions, interface with computer, safety and anti-corrosion. Reliability and construction convenience.
When selecting a double-flange differential pressure transmitter, a very important factor must be paid attention to is the differential pressure level transmitter. It is installed at the bottom of the liquid container. The height of the liquid level is reflected by the gauge pressure signal. In the control process of liquid level measurement in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. The container holding the liquid is often under pressure. At this time, the conventional static pressure liquid level transmitter cannot meet the measurement requirements. Due to improvements in the sensor circuit and structure. Improve the practical value of differential pressure liquid level measurement technology in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

The differential pressure level transmitter is an instrument that uses the pressure generated by the liquid column to measure the height of the liquid level. When the liquid level changes, the pressure received by the diaphragm at the high-pressure side flange will change accordingly. The differential pressure value calculated by the transmitter will also change accordingly. There is a linear relationship between them.
Normally, the high-pressure side (H side) and the low-pressure side (L side) cannot be installed reversely. Generally, the H side is installed at the lower part of the equipment, and the L side is installed at the higher part of the equipment. Before installation, the flange surface of the equipment should be cleaned and the gasket should not be placed off-center to prevent the diaphragm from being punctured or deformed, causing distortion of the transmitter.
When using a Differential pressure (DP) level transmitter to measure the liquid level as shown in the figure below.
The measured liquid density in the figure is ρ. The working medium density in the capillary of the double flange differential pressure transmitter is ρ0. The measuring range of the measured liquid level is H. The center distance of the sampling tube of the measured liquid level is h.
It can be seen from the figure that the maximum measurement range of the liquid level △ P = P + — P- = H × ρ × g – h × ρ0 × g.
It can be seen from the formula that the dual-flange differential pressure transmitter should perform negative migration. The migration amount S is h × ρ0 × g. And the installation position of the double flange differential pressure transmitter has no effect on the migration amount and the measurement result.
The dual-flange differential pressure transmitter requires negative migration.
When the measured liquid level is 0, the pressure difference between the positive and negative measurement chambers of the remote differential pressure transmitter is the largest. The output current of the double flange differential pressure transmitter is 4mA.
As the measured liquid level rises, the pressure difference between the positive and negative measurement chambers of the transmitter gradually decreases.
When the measured liquid level rises to the highest Hmax. The pressure difference between the positive and negative measurement chambers of the transmitter is the smallest. The output current of the double flange differential pressure transmitter is 20mA.
The differential pressure liquid level transmitter has been calibrated in the range, accuracy, linearity and other parameters according to customer requirements at the factory. And mark the range, accuracy, etc. on the nameplate of the differential pressure liquid level transmitter. As long as the density and other parameters of the measured medium meet the requirements of the nameplate, generally no adjustment is required.
If the customer needs to adjust the range or zero position, please adjust according to the following methods. Assuming that the range of the differential pressure liquid level transmitter is 0 ~ 10 meters:
Unscrew the protective cover of the differential pressure liquid level transmitter. It can be adjusted by connecting an external standard 24VDC power supply and ammeter (requires accuracy of 0.2% or above).
When there is no liquid in the differential pressure liquid level transmitter. Adjust the zero potentiometers. Make it output a current of 4mA.
Pressurize the differential pressure liquid level transmitter to full scale (10 meters). Adjust the full-scale resistor. Make it output a current of 20mA.
Repeat the above steps two or three times until the signal is normal.
Please input 25%, 50%, and 75% signals to check the error of the differential pressure liquid level transmitter.
For non-aqueous media. Differential pressure level transmitters are calibrated with water. It should be converted according to the pressure generated by the actual density of the medium. For example, when the medium density is 1.3, the 1.3m water level should be used to calibrate the 1m range.
After adjustment, tighten the protective cover.
The verification cycle of the differential pressure liquid level transmitter is once a year.
