Pressure Transmitter – Types & Accuracy


 What is a Pressure Transmitter?

Pressure transmitters, also known as pressure transducers, are used in industrial and process applications to measure the pressure of liquids, fluids, and gases in different working equipment. These transmitters are a vital component in process industries, especially the oil & gas industry which deals with a variety of fluids and gases.

Types of Pressure Transmitters

1. Gauge Pressure Transmitter

As the name suggests they measure the gauge pressure with respect to the atmospheric pressure. These types of transmitters are widely used in process industries as they involve the use of liquid and gases. The need to keep their pressure under check makes gauge pressure transmitter a vital component of the industry.

2.  Absolute Transmitters

These transmitters are used to measure pressure with respect to full vacuum. Basically, the media under measurement is placed in a sealed chamber to create a reference to absolute vacuum. These absolute pressure transmitters are generally employed in areas which demand a very high level of accuracy.

3. Differential-Pressure Transmitter

These transmitters are generally used to compare different types of pressure. Their applicability extends to both, the level applications and the flow applications. These transmitters have been used to measure flow rates owing to their advantages over other alternatives.

4. Multivariable Pressure Transmitters

These transmitters are used in cases where more than one variable is involved. These variables can be temperature and volumetric flow amongst other variables. These types of transmitters are widely used in industries involving the measurement of gas and steam flow.

How to Choose the Right Digital Pressure Gauge

  A digital pressure gauge is an instrument used to measure the pressure of liquids and gases and then digitally display it. The transducer installed in the gauge converts the obtained pressure value into a digital reading. Pressure gauges find extensive application in industrial and automaton industries. Their application is gaining traction in new areas of healthcare and energy production. The display may be backlit and include various pressure related data collection and display functions, including data logging, min/max display, peak alarms, unit’s selection, tare function and more. Pressure gauge manufacturers are incorporating new and advanced technologies to gain a market edge. With the market brimming with a variety of pressure gauges, selecting any one gauge is very difficult. When the gauge is to be used in a hazardous environment, intrinsically safe certifications are available. We are laying out a list of steps that can help you in selecting the best digital pressure ga...

Difference Between Gauge Pressure and Absolute Pressure

  When you’re cutting fruit with a knife, the surface area of its edge is small, therefore, that creates a higher pressure to cut through the object. Similarly, when a vacuum cleaner is switched on, the fan installed inside it creates low pressure in the equipment which facilitates the inward pulling of any dirt particles inside the device. In both these cases, you hear about the term called “ pressure ”. What is Pressure? In Physics, pressure is defi n ed as the force exerted perpendicularly per unit area. It is a scalar quantity and is denoted by the units Pascal (SI) which is equal to one Newton per square meter (N/m2, or kg·m−1·s−2). It can also be represented by the units atm, torr, bar, pound-force, etc. The standard formula for pressure is p = F/A. Where F is the force applied and A is the area that bears it. Hydrostatic pressure , also known as formation pressure or reservoir pressure is the pressure of fluids in a hydrocarbon reservoir, calculated on the basis of reservoir...
