Industrial Cost-Effective Pressure Solutions

An OEM pressure transmitter typically works on the principle of sensing pressure changes and converting them into electrical signals, usually via strain gauges or piezoelectric elements. These signals are then processed and transmitted to the control system or data acquisition device.

OEM pressure transmitters come in a wide range of pressure measurement options, from vacuum pressures to extremely high pressures, depending on the specific application and requirements.

OEM pressure transmitters are used in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, oil and gas, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and many others where accurate pressure measurement is essential.

Key features to consider include pressure range, accuracy, output signal type (analog or digital), temperature range, materials of construction, and compatibility with the process media.

Gauge pressure transmitters measure pressure relative to atmospheric pressure, absolute pressure transmitters measure pressure relative to a perfect vacuum, and differential pressure transmitters measure the difference between two pressures.

Calibration should be done by following the manufacturer's guidelines, typically using a reference standard and adjusting the transmitter's output to match the known reference pressure. Some transmitters offer self-calibration features.

The lifespan of an OEM pressure transmitter can vary widely, but with proper maintenance, it can last for several years or even decades. Factors such as the operating conditions and quality of the transmitter can influence its lifespan.

Many OEM pressure transmitters are designed to withstand harsh environments and are available with hazardous area certifications. Ensure the transmitter you select meets the specific environmental and safety requirements of your application.

Troubleshooting may involve checking for electrical connections, sensor damage, or calibration errors. Refer to the manufacturer's documentation for detailed troubleshooting steps.

The compatibility of a pressure transmitter with specific fluids and gases depends on the materials of construction. Be sure to choose a transmitter that is compatible with the media you plan to measure.

Regular maintenance may include periodic calibration, cleaning, and ensuring proper electrical connections. The specific maintenance schedule should be provided by the manufacturer.

Select a transmitter with an appropriate overpressure rating, or use additional pressure protection devices like snubbers or dampeners in the system to mitigate pressure spikes.

Many OEM pressure transmitters are designed to be installed in various orientations, but it's essential to follow the manufacturer's installation guidelines to ensure accurate measurements.
