Trafag Pressure Transmitters

Pressure transmitters are available in various configurations to suit different pressure and electrical connections, measurement methods, electrical output signals and certifications (CE, EX, rail and ship). Thanks to advanced technology and precise manufacturing performance, these pressure transmitters function for applications with high demands for long-term stability, vibration resistance, electromagnetic compatibility, shock resistance or temperature insensitivity.

What are pressure transmitters? Pressure transmitters are electronic pressure gauges and are used to measure and monitor pressure. The term pressure transmitter is also often used for pressure transducers or pressure sensors. However, this is not a synonym, as the term pressure sensor more narrowly describes only a part of the pressure transmitter.

What does a pressure transmitter consist of?

A pressure transmitter consists of a sensor that converts the pressure or a pressure change into an electrical signal via a physical principle. In addition, a pressure transmitter contains measurement transducer electronics that processes the sensor signal and converts it into a standardized electrical output signal. The output signal is provided at the electrical connection. Pressure is applied to the sensor through the pressure connection (also called process connection). The sensor and electronics are housed in a housing that protects these two sensitive components from environmental influences on the one hand and connects them to the electrical connection and the pressure connection on the other hand

What are the selection criteria for a pressure transmitter?

The selection criteria for a pressure transmitter are the appropriate measuring range, the required accuracy and the desired output signal. However, another very important criterion is the suitability of the pressure transmitter for the desired application. The measuring range, accuracy and output signal are parameters that are relatively easy to determine. Determining which type of pressure transmitter is suitable for a specific application, on the other hand, requires some experience and careful consideration of various aspects.
