The pressure transmitter measures the differential pressure of liquids and gases.
Mode of operation
SITRANS P250 pressure transmitter, function diagram
The piezo-resistive measuring cell (ceramic membrane) has a Wheatstone bridge circuit, on which the operating pressure P1 and P2 of the media acts at both ends.
The voltage output from the measuring cell is converted by an amplifier into an output current of 4 to 20 mA or an output voltage of 0 to 5 or 10 V DC.
The output current and voltage are linearly proportional to the input pressure.
