Function Features

• Ultra – precise and Stable Measurement Performance

  The silicon strain gauge sensor at its core provides high – precision measurement performance. The extremely low annual long – term drift ensures that the transmitter can maintain accurate measurement data for a long time without frequent calibration. This performance allows it to provide reliable data for key industrial processes that have strict requirements on pressure and level parameters.

• Flexible Configuration and Operation Convenience

  The modular design of electronic modules enables flexible switching between analog and digital communication modes such as 4 – 20mA, HART and FoxCom. It can be configured directly through the local display or remotely via a communicator, eliminating the need for complex disassembly and assembly operations during parameter adjustment, which improves the efficiency of on – site debugging and later maintenance.

• Rugged Structure and Strong Environmental Adaptability

  The use of high – quality corrosion – resistant materials such as 316 stainless steel, tantalum and Hastelloy for wetted parts can resist the erosion of corrosive media such as chemical reagents and salt water. The IP67 protection level and wide operating temperature range enable it to operate stably in dusty, humid and extreme temperature environments, without being affected by harsh on – site conditions.

• Strong Compatibility and Easy System Integration

  As a member of the Foxboro I/A series, it can be seamlessly integrated with the I/A series process controllers and I/O modules. The standard 4 – 20mA output signal can be directly recognized by most mainstream PLC and DCS systems on the market, reducing the difficulty of system matching and integration, and facilitating the upgrading and transformation of existing industrial control systems.

Application Scenarios

• Oil and Gas Industry

  It is installed in oil drilling platforms, natural gas processing plants and long – distance oil and gas pipelines. It is used to measure the differential pressure and gauge pressure of oil and gas in the extraction and transportation processes, and to monitor the level of oil storage tanks. The 4 – 20mA signal is transmitted to the central control system, which adjusts the valve opening and pump speed according to the data to prevent pipeline overpressure or oil leakage. Its corrosion – resistant materials can resist marine salt spray and desert dust, ensuring continuous operation in field environments.

• Chemical Industry

  It is deployed in chemical production workshops, especially in key equipment such as reaction kettles, distillation towers and storage tanks. It monitors the differential pressure during the flow of chemical media and the level of chemical raw materials in storage tanks in real time. When abnormal pressure or level occurs, the control system can quickly trigger an alarm or start a pressure relief device. Its corrosion – resistant wetted materials can withstand the erosion of strong corrosive chemical media, ensuring the safety and stability of the production process.

• Power Generation Industry

  It is widely used in thermal power, hydropower and other power plants. In thermal power plants, it measures the steam differential pressure in boilers and steam turbines, and the data is used to adjust the coal feeding amount and air supply volume to ensure the stable operation of the generator set. In hydropower plants, it is used to monitor the water level of reservoirs and the pressure of water conveyance pipelines, providing data support for the regulation of water flow and power generation efficiency. Its strong anti – interference ability can resist the electromagnetic interference from high – voltage equipment in power plants.

• Water Treatment Industry

  It is applied in urban sewage treatment plants and industrial wastewater purification systems. It measures the differential pressure of filter equipment to judge the blockage degree of the filter screen, and monitors the level of sedimentation tanks and water storage tanks. The control system controls the backwashing of the filter and the discharge of sediment according to the measured data, which improves the efficiency of water treatment. Its IP67 protection level can adapt to the humid and dusty environment of water treatment plants.

• Pharmaceutical and Food Industry

  It is used in the production links such as drug synthesis and food filling. In the sealed reaction process of pharmaceutical production, it accurately controls the pressure parameters to ensure the purity and efficacy of drugs. In the food filling process, it monitors the pressure of the filling pipeline to ensure uniform filling volume and consistent product quality. Its high – precision measurement and stable performance meet the strict requirements of these industries for production process parameters and hygiene standards.
