More Powerful Pressure Transmitter with Diaphragm Seal and Capillary

Diaphragm seal is used to prevent media from directly entering the sensor assembly in the pressure transmitter/differential pressure transmitter. Remote split pressure measurement can be achieved by connecting the fluid-filled capillary tube to the transmitter. Diaphragm seals effectively broaden the application range of pressure transmitters. It makes the measurement of pressure transmitter and differential pressure transmitter safer and more reliable. Diaphragm seal and capillary are ideal choices for protecting pressure instruments and process transmitters even under extreme working conditi......
