Product catalog summary
Overview of Pressure Transmitters
Pressure transmitters convert pneumatic or hydraulic pressure into electrical signals, commonly used in various applications. They provide output signals such as 4-20 mA or 0-10 V.
Technical Explanations
These devices use a measuring cell with a membrane exposed to pressure. A Wheatstone bridge circuit on the membrane changes resistance with pressure, and the signal is amplified and converted to the required output. Technologies like silicone-on-sapphire (SoS) and oil-filled stainless steel cells enhance accuracy and stability.
Types of Pressure Transmitters
  • Ceramic Measuring Cell: Offers pressure ranges from 0-2 bar to 0-250 bar, with overpressure protection.
  • Oil-Filled Measuring Cell: Suitable for oxygen applications, with pressure ranges from -1-0 bar to 0-100 bar.
  • SoS Technology: High-performance series with pressure ranges up to 600 bar.
  • CAN-Bus Interface: Digital transmitters with CANopen/J1939 protocol.
Standard Signals and Electrical Connections
Common output signals include 4-20 mA, 0-10 V, and 0.5-4.5 V ratiometric. Electrical connections vary, with options for different thread types and materials.
Accuracy and Stability
Accuracy is defined as ±0.5% or ±1% of the full scale. Long-term stability is specified according to DIN standards.
Response Time and Resolution
Response times range from 2 to 4 milliseconds, with a typical resolution of 12 bits.
Standards and Compliance
Pressure transmitters comply with EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and are marked with the CE symbol.
Specifications
Designed for Group 2 fluids, they comply with the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU and meet industrial EMC standards.
Insulation Strength
Testing should be conducted with devices having an inner resistance exceeding 42 Ω, up to 500 VDC.
Material Compatibility
Stainless steel grades (AISI 304, 303, 316L) and titanium are used, with EPDM seals recommended for oxygen and hydrogen applications.
Pressure Peak Dampening
Transmitters can be fitted with a pressure snubber to protect against transient pressure loads.
Product Information
Technical data is based on testing and empirical values. Users are responsible for testing product suitability.
Conversion Charts
Includes conversion charts for pressure and temperature units.
Technical Details
Specifications for different series include output signals, supply voltage, pressure ranges, and material details.
Compliance and Safety
Transmitters comply with EMC 2014/30/EU and are RoHSII compliant.
Applications and Features
Designed for various applications, including low-pressure and vacuum applications, with features like silicon-on-sapphire technology.
Connection and Compliance
Details on electrical connections and compliance with EMC and RoHSII standards.
Summary of Key Data
Tables summarize pressure ranges, overpressure protection, burst pressure, and connection codes.
Digital Pressure Transmitters
Details for digital transmitters with CANopen and CAN J1939 interfaces, including pressure ranges and electrical connections.
Accessories
Includes mating plugs, thread adapters, and transmitter displays with programmable settings.

Technical explanations for pressure transmitters What is a pressure transmitter? A pressure transmitter (also called pressure transducer or pressure converter) is a component used to convert a pneumatic or hydraulic pressure to an electric (usually analogue and linear) output signal, such as a current or voltage. electrical connection How does a pressure transmitter work? The pressure measuring cell fitted has a membrane (1) that is exposed to the pressure to be measured. Affixed on this membrane is a bridge circuit consisting of four ohmic resistors in the form of a Wheatstone bridge. The values...

Voltage output 0 - 10 V Transmitters with an output signal of 0 to 10 V are a commonly used variant due to their simple initial operation and straightforward scaling of the signal (0 V for 0 bar). The output load must be selected as highly resistive (with typical minimum value 4.7 kΩ). SUCO transmitters with voltage output have a 3-wire design. Conversion formula for pressure and voltage: Conversion formula for pressure and voltage: Uout = pressure applied x 10 V pressure range Voltage output 0.5 – 4.5 V ratiometric SUCO transmitters with ratiometric output are operated with a 5 V supply voltage...

Technical explanations for pressure transmitters Accuracy (to DIN EN 61298) The (measuring) accuracy of pressure transmitters is specified by SUCO as ±0.5% or ±1% of the span (also called full scale). Accuracy includes zero point offset, nonlinearity, hysteresis and non-repeatability, and is defined at room temperature and new state. This method defines the maximum deviation from the ideal line (in contrast to the BFSL method in which the average deviation is given). Other factors influencing the total accuracy, such as temperature and ageing, are specified separately. Hysteresis (to DIN EN 61298)...

digital word Resolution The A/D resolution (analogue - digital) of an pressure transmitter defines the smallest change of the analogue - digital - analogue conversion which takes places by the signal processing of an pressure transmitter. If for example 13-bit resolution is used for an pressure transmitter with a 100 bar setting range, the smallest signal change is 8192 steps (213). As state of the art a resolution of 12 bits and hence 4096 steps (212) is typical. Therefore pressure changes of 100 bar / 4096 = 0.024 bar can be recorded. Response time The response or circuit time is shorter than...
