Design
Measuring range
<1 bar (<14.5 psi)
Measuring range
> 1 bar (> 14.5 psi)
The design of the pressure transmitter is dependent on the measuring range.
The main components of the pressure transmitter are:
• Stainless steel housing with piezo-resistive silicon measuring cell (with stainless
steel diaphragm, temperature-compensated) and electronics module.
• Stainless steel process connection 1/4 - 18 NPT Straight.
• Electrical connection is made to DIN 43650 with the cable inlet 1/2 – 14 Taper.
Pressure transmitters with a nominal range < 1 bar g (< 14.5 psi g) are available with or
without explosion protection.
The main components of the pressure transmitter are:
• Stainless steel housing with ceramic measuring cell and electronics module. The
temperature-compensated ceramic measuring cell has a thin-film strain gauge
which is mounted on a ceramic diaphragm. The ceramic diaphragm can also be
used for aggressive media.
• Stainless steel process connection 1/4 - 18 NPT Straight.
Electrical connection is made to DIN 43650 with the cable inlet 1/2 – 14 Taper.
Pressure transmitters with a nominal range
> 1 bar g (>14.5 psi g) are available with or
without explosion protection.

Figure 1. Functional Diagram.
The mode of operation of the pressure transmitter is dependent on the measuring
range.
The silicon measuring cell of the pressure transmitter has a piezo-resistive bridge to
which the operating pressure is transmitted through silicone oil and a stainless steel
diaphragm.
The measuring cell output voltage is fed to an amplifier and converted into a 4 to 20 mA
output current.
The output is linearly proportional to the input pressure.
