Pressure Ranges

▲
Nominal Span Adjustment Range
0 to 5 psid
Burst Pressure
200 psi
Pressure Range (psid)
0 to 5 psid
Compressed Air Requirement
35 psid to 150 psig Supply Pressure at Control Inlet
Operating Limit (Maximum Pressure)
Pressure above 300% nominal range (overrange) will result in damage to the transmitter (200% may cause a shift in calibration). Burst pressure is 200 psi and will cause catastrophic and physical failure of the pressure element.

Features

Differential Pressure Pneumatic Sensor Controls
The KING-GAGE® D/P Transmitter is also offered in a hybrid version combined with an air flow control for pneumatic sensors or downpipe (bubbler) systems. These combination units allow for direct 4-20 mA signal from the tank using the integrated differential pressure transmitter.

D/P Sensor Controls are designed for use with KING-GAGE® pneumatic diaphragm sensors. The air control portion of these units creates a 1:1 pneumatic pressure directly proportional to liquid depth in the tank. Acting as a force balance, the pneumatic pressure offsets the hydrostatic pressure exerted against a diaphragm at the tank. The electronic transmitter then converts this pressure into a 4-20 mA output signal.

D/P LiquiSeal Controls and D/P Purge Controls are used in conjunction with a downpipe (or bubble tube) extending down through the liquid contents of the tank. This type of sensor also acts as a force balance. A continuous purge of compressed air into the pipe displaces the liquid and creates a pneumatic pressure equivalent to hydrostatic head pressure. The transmitter converts this pressure into a 4-20 mA output signal.

Applications

Additional Information

Additional Information
  • Piezoresistive element for less frequent recalibration
  • 4 mA to 20 mA two wire output for monitoring or control
  • Better than ±0.02% span repeatability
Liquid level gauging demands a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. This is especially true for quality control in batch processing operations. That is why KING-GAGE® D/P Transmitters are specifically designed to provide optimal performance in tank gauging applications. They utilize a precision piezoresistive sensor element that provides longer term stability. Guaranteed accuracy is within ± 0.2% F.S. and repeatable to within ± 0.02% of calibrated span.
