Comprehensive Guide to the Rosemount 2090P Pressure Transmitter





1. General Description
The Rosemount 2090P pressure transmitter is a compact, high-performance industrial instrument engineered specifically for demanding applications in industries such as pulp and paper, chemical processing, and wastewater treatment. Featuring an isolation diaphragm designed to sit completely flush with vessel or pipe walls, this device effectively minimizes clogging and buildup when handling viscous, sticky, or slurry-like process materials.
Capable of measuring both absolute and gauge pressure, the Rosemount 2090P delivers exceptional measurement versatility across diverse operational environments. Its robust construction and compact footprint make it ideal for tight installation spaces and rigorous field conditions. Furthermore, the transmitter fully supports the HART® communication protocol, enabling the simultaneous transmission of digital diagnostic data and process variables alongside a standard 4–20 mA analog signal. Utilizing frequency shift keying (FSK) for reliable digital communication, it integrates smoothly into modern distributed control systems (DCS).
The product family includes key variants such as the Rosemount 2090PG (gauge model) and the Rosemount 2090PA (absolute model), both engineered for precision and reliability.
