Dual Flange Differential Pressure Transmitter
The dual-flange differential pressure transmitter consists of two main parts: the measuring capsule assembly and the electronic signal processing unit. The capsule assembly includes two flanges connected to the high-pressure (HP) and low-pressure (LP) sides of the process—for example, in tank level measurement, the HP flange connects to the tank bottom (subjected to liquid hydrostatic + vapor pressure) and the LP flange to the tank top (vapor pressure only), so their pressure difference corresponds to liquid height. Each flange houses a high-precision sensor (typically capacitive or diffused silicon type) sealed behind an isolation diaphragm, linked via capillaries filled with silicone oil to the transmitter body. The differential pressure deflects the sensor’s diaphragm, altering capacitance (in capacitive types) or resistance (in diffused silicon types) proportionally. This minute change is processed through amplification, temperature compensation, and linearization circuits to produce a standard output (e.g., 4–20 mA DC or digital HART/RS485); for instance, a 0–100 kPa DP range maps linearly to 4–20 mA, where 4 mA = 0 kPa and 20 mA = 100 kPa.
