DP Transmitter with Two Seals applications

DP Transmitters with remote seals allow the transmitter to be removed from direct contact with the process fluid. Remote seals are useful when: 1. The process temperature is outside of…

Density Measurement using DP Transmitter for closed tank with wet leg

In closed tanks, the DP transmitter must compensate for the pressure of the vessel above the liquid surface. So the LP side of transmitter is connected to the tank. Here in this…

Closed tank Density Measurement using DP Transmitter with dry leg & constant level application

In closed tanks, the DP transmitter must compensate for the pressure of the vessel above the liquid surface. So the LP side of transmitter is connected to the tank. Here in this…

Density Measurement for Open Tank with Constant Level Application

In open tank applications, the level can be measured with either gauge or differential pressure (DP) transmitters, using the assumption that P = LS. If specific gravity needs to be…

Interface Level Measurement using DP Transmitter

Differential pressure (DP) transmitters are used to measure the interface of two fluids that have different specific gravities (S1 & S2). To make an interface measurement, the overall level must…

Displacer Level Transmitter Questions
