Ask the Expert: Pressure Transmitter and Its Applications

As per our conventional method of informing the readers about different types of meters, sensors, and transmitters in our Ask the expert series of blog. In our last blog, we described Applications and types of temperature sensors. Today, we are here again with pressure transmitter and its application in industry.

What is Pressure Transmitter?

Pressure transducers, popularly known as Pressure Transmitter, is a device used to measure pressure in fluid, liquid, and gas. It is commonly used in industry to measure pressure and generate alert signal before a catastrophe occurs in the machinery. There are more than 50 types of transmitters that work differently and follow the various principle of working.

1. There are various types of Pressure Transmitters such as-
2. Economical OEM pressure transmitter
3. Precision pressure transmitter
4. Sanitary pressure transmitter
5. Diaphragm seal pressure transmitter
6. Flush diaphragm pressure transmitter
7. Differential pressure transmitter

Working Principle of Pressure Transmitter-

Normal Pressure transmitter converts pressure into corresponding electric signals. Although there are numbers of pressure transmitter but one of the most common is differential pressure transducers. It compares two different pressure and transfer signals to control unit. Differential pressure transmitters have varied industrial applications.

Applications of Pressure Transmitter-

Pressure transducers are used in far-reaching industries with its diverse applications. Let’s see some major applications of this device.

• It is used in machinery to get alerts about high-pressure levels that may cause a big disaster.
• It also makes sure that machine does not exert less or more pressure than required during the manufacturing process.
• It is used to measure depth, altitude, fluid flow, and pressure loss that can prevent leaks in the machine system.
• It has wide application in oil and gas plants in the onshore, offshore and subsea industry.
• It is used water and treatment plants. It helps to observe filters in the plants.
• In the agriculture industry, it is used in sprinkler systems.
• Monitoring and Controlling pressure in the pump.
• It is crucial part of remote sensing technology of heating systems

Hence, this is how pressure transmitters are widely used to the furthest extent of industries. To get more information about varied range of sensors, transmitters and meter contact us at- www.broiltech.com
