Specifications:
The document outlines the specifications for pressure transmitters and diaphragm seals used in various industrial applications. It includes details on conduit connections, diaphragm seal ratings, and span ranges for different pressure levels. The standard fill fluid for measuring cells is silicone oil, with other fluids available upon request. Bolts and nuts must conform to NACE MR 0175/ISO 15156 standards for certain services.

Procedures:
Mounting designs are specified for both capillary and rigid configurations, with temperature corrections required for certain designs. The document also details the requirements for hazardous location approvals, including ATEX and IECEx certifications.

Norms and Standards:
The document emphasizes compliance with NACE MR 0175/ISO 15156 for bolts and nuts, and provides guidelines for operating pressures and materials used in construction. It also specifies the ambient and process temperature limits for different mounting designs.

Recommendations:
For optimal performance, a turn down of 100:1 is recommended, but should be used at spans greater than 1/10 of the maximum span. The document advises consulting Georgin for specific applications and operating conditions.

Key Data from Tables:
The tables provide detailed information on the types of transmitters, conduit connections, diaphragm seal ratings, and span ranges. They also list the materials used for wetted parts and other components, emphasizing the use of stainless steel and other corrosion-resistant materials.

Critical Information:
It is critical to use the correct bolts and nuts for NACE MR 0175/ISO 15156 service, and to ensure that the appropriate approvals are obtained for hazardous locations. The document also highlights the importance of temperature correction for transmitters with different diaphragm seals or capillary lengths.
Diaphragm Seal Types: The document outlines various diaphragm seal types suitable for different mounting and operating conditions, including flush mounting designs, seals with extensions, and those for sanitary applications adhering to DIN, SMS, or Tri-Clamp standards.
Pressure Limits: The working pressure is limited by the static pressure or the nominal flange rating of the diaphragm seal. For vacuum service, the lowest vacuum for differential or gauge pressure transmitters is 20 Torr or 27 mbar abs, while absolute pressure transmitters can be used down to absolute zero.
Performance Specifications: The total performance is calculated by adding the performances of both the transmitter and the diaphragm seals. The accuracy error increases by 0.1% of the span when diaphragm seals are assembled on a transmitter. Ambient and process temperature effects are detailed, with specific values provided for different diaphragm materials and configurations.
Filling Fluids: Various filling fluids are specified, including silicone oil, fluorinated oil, and sanitary fill fluid, each with different temperature resistances and densities. Special applications may require consultation with Georgin for appropriate filling fluids.

Specifications:
The document provides specifications for diaphragm seals and their dimensions according to DIN 11851 and SMS standards. It lists the nominal diameter (DN), pressure nominal (PN), and other dimensions such as D, h, dM, and G for various sizes.

Standards and Compliance:
The document states that all models of the ProcessX series transmitters comply with the EMC Directive (2004/108/EC) and are in accordance with harmonized standards EN 61326-1:2006 and EN 61326-2-3:2006. These standards pertain to electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use, focusing on EMC requirements.

Emission and Immunity Requirements:
Emission limits are specified for frequency ranges from 30 to 1000 MHz, with limits set at 40 dB and 47 dB (µV/m) measured at 10 m distance, according to EN 55011 / CISPR 11 standards. Immunity requirements are detailed with test values for various phenomena such as electrostatic discharge, electromagnetic fields, magnetic fields, burst, surge, and conducted RF, referencing standards like EN 61000-4 series.

Performance Criteria:
Performance criteria are categorized as A and B, where A indicates normal performance within specification limits during testing, and B indicates temporary degradation or loss of function that is self-recovering.

FKBDM - Absolute, differential and gauge pressure transmitter for remote seal(s)-1

FKBDM Absolute, differential and gauge pressure transmitter for remote seal(s) Span, range, and overrange limit : ■ DATA SHEET The ProcessX series absolute, differential and gauge pressure transmitters accurately measures and transmits proportional 4 to 20 mAdc signal. The transmitters utilize the unique micromachined capacitive silicon sensor with state-of-the-art microprocessor technology to provide exceptional performance and functionality. ■ FEATURES 1. High accuracy 0.065% accuracy is a standard feature for differential and gauge pressure models and 0.2% accuracy for absolute pressure models. The microcapacitance silicon sensor assures this feature for all elevated or suppressed calibration ranges without additional adjustment. 2. Minimum inventory and design Electronics unit, local indicators and electronics housing are interchageable among all ProcessX transmitters. Our differential, gauge and absolute pressure transmitters for remote seal(s) are welded design with reduced volume flange welded on cell's body to guarantee a perfect vac-cum tightness and high pressure services. 3. Minimum environmental influence The "Advanced Floating Cell" design which protects the pressure sensor against changes in temperature, and overpressure substantially reduces total measurement error in actual field applications. 4. Georgin/HART® bilingual communications protocol ProcessX series transmitter offers bilingual communications to speak both Georgin proprietary protocol and HART®. Any HART® compatible devices can communicate with ProcessX. 5.
