  3. Sedimentary media with solid particles or suspended matter;
  4. Strong corrosive or highly toxic medium;
  5. It can eliminate the occurrence of the leakage of the pressure guiding tube and pollute the surrounding environment. It can avoid the tedious work of frequently replenishing the isolation fluid due to the instability of the measurement signal when the isolation fluid is used;
  6. Continuous and accurate measurement of interface and density;
  7. The remote transmission device can avoid the mixing of different instantaneous media, so that the measurement results can truly reflect the actual situation of the process change;
  8. Occasions with high requirements for sanitation and cleanliness;
  9. For example, in the production of food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries, it is not only required that the part of the transmitter in contact with the medium meets the hygienic standards, but also it should be easy to wash to prevent cross-contamination of different batches of media.
Pressure Level Transmitter-Flange Mounting-Measuring tank liquid level.

A single-flange pressure level transmitter is a type of instrument designed to measure the liquid level in open tanks or containers. It works by measuring the pressure exerted by the liquid column above the transmitter, which is installed at the bottom or side of the tank The working principle of this transmitter is based on hydrostatic pressure, which is the pressure exerted by a fluid at a specific depth due to the force of gravity.

Here’s an explanation of the working principle and the calculation formula in simple, readable language:

Hydrostatic Pressure: When a liquid is at rest, its pressure at a specific depth (h) is directly proportional to the liquid’s height, density (ρ), and acceleration due to gravity (g). The formula to calculate hydrostatic pressure (P) is:
P = ρ × g × h

Level Measurement: The single-flange pressure level transmitter senses the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the liquid column above the sensor, which is installed at the bottom or side of the open tank. Since the atmospheric pressure acts on both the liquid surface and the transmitter dia , it gets canceled out, and only the pressure due to the liquid column is measured. This pressure is then used to calculate the liquid level (h) using the following formula:
h = P / (ρ × g)

pressure level transmitter working principle

The single-flange liquid level transmitter senses the measured pressure through a remote device installed on the pipe or container. The pressure is transmitted to the main body of the transmitter through the filling silicone oil (or other liquid) in the capillary.

Then by the delta chamber in the transmitter body and the amplified circuit board. Convert pressure or differential pressure to 4~20mA.DC signal output. Cooperate with a hand-held device conforming to the HART protocol, and can communicate with each other for setting and monitoring.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

A pressure level transmitter is an instrument that measures the level of liquid or fluid in a container, such as a tank or a vessel, by converting the pressure exerted by the liquid at a certain depth into an electrical signal. It helps in monitoring and controlling liquid levels in various applications, including industrial and process control systems.

There are four main types of pressure transmitters:

a. Gauge Pressure Transmitter: Measures pressure relative to atmospheric pressure, which is used as a reference point.

b. Absolute Pressure Transmitter: Measures pressure relative to a perfect vacuum, providing an absolute pressure value.

c. Differential Pressure Transmitter: Measures the difference in pressure between two points in a system, commonly used for flow and level measurements.

d. Sealed Gauge Pressure Transmitter: Measures pressure relative to a fixed, pre-defined reference pressure, typically atmospheric pressure at sea level.

A differential pressure level transmitter measures the difference in pressure between two points in a system, typically the bottom and top of a liquid-filled container or across a flow restriction. By measuring this pressure difference, the transmitter can calculate the liquid level, flow rate, or other parameters. It consists of a diaphragm that flexes as the pressure difference changes, and this movement is converted into an electrical signal proportional to the pressure difference, which is then used for calculations and control purposes.

The working principle of a level transmitter depends on the type of transmitter being used.

For a pressure level transmitter, it is based on hydrostatic pressure, which is the pressure exerted by a fluid at a specific depth due to the force of gravity. The transmitter senses the hydrostatic pressure and converts it into an electrical signal. This electrical signal is then used to calculate the liquid level using a formula that involves the liquid’s height, density, and the acceleration due to gravity.

Other types of level transmitters, such as ultrasonic, radar, or capacitive, work on different principles but ultimately serve the same purpose of measuring liquid levels in a container or vessel.
