The best metrological results are obtained when the applied capillaries are identical, as short as possible, and terminated with identical seals. At such a configuration additional temperature errors, related to the remote sealing, affect both of the measurement chambers of the differential pressure transmitter in the same way, and thus cancel each other out.

Transmitter with two types of diaphragm seal: one – direct diaphragm seal and the other – remote diaphragm seal Upper remote diaphragm seal Capillary fastened to a guide Coiled excess of the capillary Differential pressure transmitter Lower direct seal Example of measurement of the level in a pressure tank Recommendations The transmitter with a direct diaphragm seal (connected to the positive measurement chamber) and a remote diaphragm seal (connected to the negative chamber) is recommended for hydrostatic measurements of: levels, densities, phase boundaries and pressure differences (with differentiated...

The differential pressure transmitter is applicable to the measurement of pressure differences of: gases, vapours and liquids in cases where it is necessary to use seals and the pressure pulse source points may be several metres apart. Typical applications include the hydrostatic measurement of: levels in closed tanks, densities and phase boundaries, and the measurement of a filter loss, pressure differences between media in pasteurisers etc. The available range of the diaphragm seals allows measurement at great majority of media. The active element is a piezoresistant silicon sensor separated...

To simplify the mathematical operations we introduce the density coefficient of the medium Xr. Xr = Since the density of water at 4°C is 1 g/cm3, the density coefficient Xr is numerically equal to the density of the medium expressed in g/cm3. To determine the hydrostatic pressure of a column of liquid in mm H2O, it is sufficient to multiply the height of the column h [mm] by the density coefficient of the liquid Xr. Since it is easy to determine the hydrostatic pressure in mm H2O and the transmitter can be configured in those units, in the descriptions of measurement methods given below we will...

6. Connect the KAP-03 communicator, identify the transmitter and select the “configuration” function. 7. On the configuration menu select “Reranging” procedure. 8. On the “Reranging” menu: a) change the measurement units to mm H2O at 4°C; b) enter the calculated values for the start (–1404) and end (396) of the range. When the transmitter has been configured in this way it is ready to be used to carry out the given measurement task. Note: If it is possible to fill the space between the seals with a liquid whose density corresponds to the start of the measurement range, the start of the range...
