Hydrostatic Pressure Transmitter Working Principle
The hydrostatic pressure transmitter, also known as a hydrostatic liquid level gauge or hydrostatic pressure level transmitter, measures liquid level and hydrostatic pressure by leveraging the fundamental principle that the pressure at the bottom of a liquid column is directly proportional to its height and density.
This advanced hydrostatic pressure transmitter typically consists of a high-stability sensor or probe placed at the bottom of the tank or container. The sensor detects the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the liquid above it and converts this pressure into a precise electrical signal, usually a standard 4–20 mA DC output. This allows accurate, real-time liquid level readings for monitoring and control applications.
Key advantages of this measurement principle include:
High Accuracy: Provides precise liquid level measurement even in corrosive or challenging environments.
Reliability and Stability: Continuous monitoring with minimal drift, suitable for long-term industrial and environmental applications.
Integration: Can be easily connected with PLC, SCADA, or DCS systems for real-time process control.
Versatility: Compatible with water, oil, chemicals, and other liquids, making it ideal for industrial, thermal power, sewage treatment, and petroleum applications.
