KING-GAGE® DP Differential Pressure Transmitters

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the KING-GAGE® D/P Transmitters, which are designed for high accuracy and repeatability in liquid level gauging, particularly in batch processing operations. These transmitters use a precision piezoresistive sensor element for long-term stability, with guaranteed accuracy within ±0.2% F.S. and repeatability within ±0.02% of the calibrated span.
Pressure to mA Conversion
The transmitters convert gage or differential pressure inputs into a 4–20 mA output signal, compatible with process components like PLCs. They operate over a voltage range of 14–40 Vdc and feature output current limiting and continuous no-load operation for reliability.
Pressure Ranges and Span Adjustment
The transmitters accommodate a 3:1 turndown ratio to match application pressure ranges, offering individual ranges from 0–5 to 0–50 psid. This allows for full-scale output and maximum resolution in process control operations.
D/P Pneumatic Sensor Controls
The hybrid version of the transmitter includes air flow control for pneumatic sensors or downpipe systems, providing a direct 4–20 mA signal from the tank. The pneumatic pressure is proportional to liquid depth and is converted into an electronic output signal.
Specifications
The output signal is 4–20 mA with an accuracy of ±0.2% F.S. and repeatability of ±0.02% of the calibrated span. The operating temperature range is 0° to 180°F, with a compensated range of 32° to 120°F. The power supply voltage ranges from 14–40 Vdc, with a burst pressure of 200 psi.
Span Adjustments and Operating Limits
The transmitter's turndown ratio is 3:1 for nominal ranges, with specific adjustments for different psid ranges. Operating limits include a maximum pressure of 300% nominal range, with a burst pressure of 200 psi.
Voltage/Load Capacity Ratings
The minimum excitation voltage is 10 Vdc, with load capacity determined by the power supply voltage and total load resistance in the circuit loop.
Tank Gauging Applications
The system uses a pneumatic sensor to generate air pressure equivalent to the hydrostatic force of liquid depth, which is converted to a 4–20 mA output. The KING-GAGE indicators correlate this output to the total volume or weight of tank contents.
Transmitter Signal Loop
Electrical power is supplied through twisted pair cable, with excitation voltage provided by the receiving device or a separate power supply. The KING-GAGE Digital Indicator or LevelBAR indicator typically provides 24 Vdc excitation.

Effective: September 2010 Supplment 1100-40 K N G-GAGE Differentlal Pressure Transmitte rs Tank Liquid Level Inventory Monitoring D/PTransmitters ■ Piezoresistive El险ment Needs Less Frquent Recalibration ■ 4-20 mA Two Wire Output for Monitoring or Control ■ Better Than ±0.02% Span Repeatability Liquid level gauging demands a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. This is especially true for quality control in batch processing operations. That is why KING-GAGE® D/P Transmitters are specifically designed to provide optimal performance in tank gauging applications. They utilize a precision piezoresistive sensor element that provides longer term stability. Guaranteed accuracy is within ± 0.2% F.S. and repeatable to within ± 0.02% of calibrated span. D/P Sensor Control provides 4-20 mA output for pneumatic sensor Pressure to mA Conversion KING-GAGE D/P Transmitters accept either gage or differential pressure pneumatic inputs that are converted to a proportional 4-20 mA output signal. This two wire signal loop is compatible with typical process components that accept analog input including PLCs. Designed to operate over a broad voltage range, these transmitters work with power sources ranging from 14-40 Vdc (based on load requirements). Output current limiting and continuous no-load operation ensures reliability in even the most demanding situations. Isolated test meter terminals permit in-process monitoring for troubleshooting. This allows the user to easily check the transmitter output without having to remove it from the process loop circuit. Pressure Ranges are Span Adjustable Transmitter span accommodates a 3:1 turndown ratio* to match the application pressure range (i.e., tank depth). This permits ranging of the device to provide full scale output for maximum resolution in process con-trol operations. Individual transmitter ranges of 0-5 through 0-50 psid are offered. These yield far greater stability than compa魭rable single range units requiring high turndown ratios to fit the application. KING-GAGE * 3:1 turndown ratio is applicable to 0-10 and 0-30 nominal range, refer to specifications for detailed span adjustment available on specific range models. ^3E3king engineering division www.king-gagp.ge m

D/P Transmitters for Tank Gauging Supplment 1100-40 D/P Pneumatic Sensor Controls The KING-GAGE D/P Transmitter is also offered in a hybrid version combined with an air flow control for pneumatic sensors or downpipe (bubbler) systems. These combination units allow for direct 4-20 mA signal from the tank using the integrated differential pressure transmitter. D/P Sensor Controls are designed for use with KING-GAGE pneumatic diaphragm sensors. The air control portion of these units creates a 1:1 pneumatic pressure directly proportional to liquid depth in the tank. Acting as a force balance, the...

KING-GAGE® DP Differential Pressure Transmitters-4

KING-GAGE®D/P Transmitters D/P Transmitters for Tank Gauging Tank Gauging Applications Acting on the force balance principle, a pneumatic sensor generates air pressure equivalent to the hydrostatic force created by liquid depth. This pneumatic pressure is directed into the D/P transmitter. Pressure is converted to an electronic 4-20 mAdc output proportional to liquid depth. Twisted pair cabling is used to form the signal loop through which the remote indicator receives the transmitter output. The KING-GAGE® indicators shown in these system views correlate the transmitter output to total volume...
