Pressure Vessel
The DP transmitter is a very versatile pressure-measuring device. This one instrument may be used to measure pressure
differences, positive (gauge) pressures, negative (vacuum) pressures, and even absolute pressures, just by connecting the high Measurement P
and low sensing ports differently.
In every DP transmitter application, there are means of connecting the transmitters pressure-sensing ports to the points in a Flow Meter Appl
process. Metal or plastic tubes (or pipes) are the means used for this purpose, and are commonly called impulse lines or sensing
lines.

Another very common inferential measurement using DP transmitters is the measurement of fluid flow through a pipe. Pressure ADVERTISEMENT
dropped across a constriction in the pipe varies in relation to flow rate and fluid density. If the fluid density remains fairly
constant, we can measure pressure drop across a piping constriction and use that measurement to infer flow rate.
Basic Electrical For
The most common form of constriction used for inferring flow in most industrial applications is the orifice plate. The orifice plate Electrical Engineeri
is a metal plate with a precisely machined hole in the center. As fluid passes through this hole, its velocity changes, causing a
pressure drop. It is this pressure drop across the orifice plate that is then used to infer the flow rate in the pipe: Simple Electric Circ

Controls And Autom
As seen in the diagram above, in using the orifice plate to measure flow, one port of the DP transmitter is connected to the
upstream side of the pipe while the other port is connected to the downstream side of the pipe. Differences of pressure between
the upstream and downstream sides of the constriction (orifice plate) will cause the DP transmitter to register flow.
From the diagram above, the high side of the DP transmitter connects to the upstream side of the filter, and the low side of the
transmitter to the downstream side of the filter. This way, increased filter clogging will result in an increased transmitter output.
