Is Your Pressure Transmitter Really Faulty? In Most Cases, It’s Innocent

In industrial settings, there’s a dangerous “knee-jerk” reaction that can be costly: Whenever the pressure transmitter readings fluctuate, technicians often suspect the device is faulty and immediately request a replacement. What happens next? A new transmitter is installed, but within a few days, the same “drift” occurs again. Engineer Li, with years of experience in […]

Pressure Tapping Lines for Differential Pressure Flow Meters

Why Some Are Long and Others Are Short?** Differential pressure (DP) flow meters measure flow by detecting the pressure drop created across a primary element—such as an orifice plate, Venturi tube or wedge flow meter.To transmit this pressure difference to the transmitter, two impulse (tapping) lines are installed between the process piping and the DP

Improper Drain Operation and Differential Pressure Transmitter Failures

Why Instrument Incidents Are Rarely Just Operator Errors In daily instrumentation maintenance, draining and inspection of differential pressure (DP) transmitters are considered routine tasks. In practice, however, improper drain operations continue to cause serious equipment damage—especially in steam service. Recently, a DP transmitter was severely damaged during a drain operation. Similar incidents have occurred before,

Understanding Absolute Pressure Transmitters: Are They More Advanced Than Gauge Types?

In industrial measurement and control, pressure transmitters are everywhere. But in vacuum systems, environmental monitoring, and high-precision applications, you may notice that engineers prefer absolute pressure transmitters instead of the more common gauge pressure transmitters. At first glance, they look similar, but the reference point and measurement logic behind them are fundamentally different: Gauge pressure

Pressure Differential Flow Meters: Adjusting Range and Recalculation After Commissioning

Overview: Differential pressure flow meters are widely used in industrial applications to measure flow rates by calculating the difference in pressure across a restriction in the pipe. It is common for the original range of the flow meter to be inadequate once the system is in operation. This article discusses how to handle such situations

Why -90kPa Negative Pressure Can’t Be Measured? The Issue May Not Be with the Instrument

When selecting pressure transmitters, terms like “absolute pressure” and “gauge pressure” often cause confusion. A user once requested a pressure transmitter with a measurement range of 0~-90kPa absolute pressure, but was told that only a gauge pressure transmitter could be used. Why is that? 1. Absolute vs. Gauge Pressure: Understanding the Difference A user wanted
