Core Engineering Features
Multivariable Measurement: Simultaneously tracks differential pressure, line pressure, and process temperature to optimize loop efficiency.
Coplanar Platform: Streamlines direct mounting to manifolds, primary elements, and remote seal assemblies while reducing leak points.
Advanced Diagnostics: Local Operator Interface (LOI) and configuration software enable real-time loop testing, anomaly detection, and guided setup.
Rugged Durability: Engineered to withstand severe thermal extremes (-40 to 185°F) and corrosive industrial environments.
Primary Industrial Applications
Oil & Gas: Wellhead monitoring, high-pressure pipelines, and custody transfer separation.
Chemical & Petrochemical: Corrosive fluid processing and reactor pressure tracking.
Power Generation: Boiler feed water, steam systems, and condenser vacuum control.
Water & Wastewater: Filtration pressure monitoring and municipal pump station control.
Standard Installation Procedure
Preparation & Safety: Review technical manuals, verify nameplate specifications, and ensure safe line conditions.
Mechanical Mounting: Secure the coplanar transmitter to a rigid pipe or bracket in a vibration-isolated location using rated hardware.
Process Connections: Align impulse piping, utilize compatible gaskets, and torque flange bolts evenly to prevent leaks.
Electrical Wiring: Terminate shielded loop cables into the terminal compartment, maintaining correct polarity and earth grounding.
Configuration & Commissioning: Power the loop (10.5–36 VDC), perform zero trimming via HART or the LOI interface, and verify output signals.
