HOW DO PRESSURE TRANSMITTERS WORK?

In this latest informative blog, BM Engineering takes an in-depth look at pressure transmitters, focusing closely on how they operate. We also take a closer look at the advantages of pressure transmitters and typical uses of a pressure transmitter.

WHAT IS A PRESSURE TRANSMITTER?

A pressure transmitter is a device that has been designed to measure pressure in liquids, fluids or gases. They are commonly used to measure pressure inside industrial machinery, in order to alert users before an incident occurs. They have a wide range of different uses, mostly of an industrial or automotive nature.

HOW DO PRESSURE TRANSMITTERS WORK?

Pressure Transmitters, a sub-group of pressure transducers, feature additional reset and calibration options. With some sensor types it is possible, for example, to re-set the measuring span over large ranges. They work by taking pressure and converting it into an analogue electrical signal.

ADVANTAGES OF PRESSURE TRANSMITTERS

There are a number key advantages of pressure transmitters. Firstly, pressure transmitters measure not only pressure levels but also differences in pressure. Pressure transmitters are also very durable, being able to withstand nearly any environment and can, if needed, be completely submerged. Pressure transmitters can also be connected to other systems, such as electrical circuits.
