How does the gauge pressure sensor work?

The gauge pressure transmitter measures the process pressure of a gas, steam or liquid in relation to atmospheric pressure. The pressure transmitter is installed on a pipe to measure pressure, or on a tank to measure level by hydrostatic pressure.

how the gauge pressure sensor works

How does the gauge pressure sensor work?

The gauge pressure sensor comprises a single pressure port to be connected to the process on which pressure is to be measured. This HP high-pressure port is connected to a metal diaphragm.

The low-pressure BP side of the sensor is subject to atmospheric pressure.

The metal diaphragm deforms proportionally and transmits the measured applied pressure via an internal fluid to the micro-capacitive measuring element.

The pressure exerted on this capacitive electronic component will deform it. This deformation changes the system's capacitance value. This value is then converted into an analog 4-20 mA and digital HART signal in accordance with the measured gauge pressure .

What are the advantages of the gauge pressure sensor?

The gauge pressure sensor gauge pressure less expensive than anpressure transmitter .

gauge pressure sensors have wider measuring ranges than their counterparts, pressure transmitter , which measure absolute pressure. These pressure measuring devices can measure higher pressures.

Not only is the gauge pressure sensor exceptionally precise and accurate, it is also highly reliable and offers great long-term stability.

High repeatability
Long-term stability

What are the disadvantages of the gauge pressure sensor?

what are the disadvantages of the gauge pressure sensor?

Relative pressure transmitters have limitations in terms of accuracy compared with absolute pressure transmitters .

This limitation is due to their dependence on atmospheric pressure.

However, a gauge pressure sensor may be sufficient and an affordable solution for most industrial processes.

What is the unit of gauge pressure ?

The standard unit of measurement for gauge pressure the pascal (Pa).

In most industrial applications, other units such as bar (equivalent to 100,000 pascals (Pa)) and pound-force per square inch (psi) (equivalent to 6,894 pascals (Pa)) are used.

What are the pressure ranges of a gauge pressure transmitter?

what are the pressure ranges of gauge pressure transmitters?

The gauge pressure sensor can measure pressures ranging from a few mbar to several bars.

Maximum operating pressure and permissible overpressure vary according to cell range and transmitter model.

This measuring instrument can measure pressure relative to atmospheric pressure as high as 500 bar with excellent accuracy and stability.

What are the applications of the gauge pressure sensor?

The gauge pressure sensor is used in industry to measure the pressure of any liquid, gas or pressurized fluid.
