Product Highlights
The DPT200 Pressure Transmitter is a versatile device designed to measure differential pressure ranging from 1 mbar up to 20 bar, with a maximum static pressure of 400 bar. Its output signal is transmitted through a 2-wire connection, providing a range of 4 to 20 mA. The transmitter boasts several special characteristics, including a static overpressure capability of up to 400 bar, a remarkable range-ability of maximum 100:1, and a sturdy aluminium die-cast case for enhanced durability.
It supports HART communication for efficient data exchange and offers the flexibility of selecting between a linear or square root extraction output signal. Additionally, the DPT200 Pressure Transmitter is available in optional versions to cater to specific requirements. These options include the Ex-version group I, an intrinsically safe version suitable for firedamp mines, and the Ex-version group II, which encompasses both intrinsically safe (Ex ia) and flameproof enclosure (Ex d) configurations. Other notable features include an LC display for easy readout and a robust stainless steel housing for added protection.
Applications
The oil and gas industry relies heavily on precise pressure measurement for both safety and efficiency. The DPT 200 Pressure Transmitter is used in this sector to monitor and control differential pressure in pipelines, storage tanks, and processing units. Accurate pressure readings are essential for leak detection, flow measurement, and ensuring that equipment operates within safe limits, helping to prevent accidents and optimize production.
In the chemical and petrochemical industry, the DPT 200 plays a crucial role in maintaining process integrity and product quality. Chemical processes often involve the handling of aggressive or hazardous substances under varying pressures. The transmitter provides reliable differential pressure data, which is vital for controlling reactors, distillation columns, and filtration systems. This ensures that processes remain stable and that safety standards are upheld.
The energy industry also benefits from the DPT 200, particularly in power plants and renewable energy facilities. Here, the transmitter is used to monitor pressure differences in boilers, turbines, and heat exchangers. Accurate pressure measurement is key to optimizing energy conversion processes, improving efficiency, and reducing downtime due to equipment failure or maintenance needs.
Within the food and beverage sector, the DPT 200 is valued for its ability to provide hygienic and accurate pressure monitoring. Food and beverage production requires strict control over processing conditions to ensure product safety and consistency. The transmitter is used in applications such as pasteurization, fermentation, and bottling, where maintaining the correct pressure is essential for both quality and regulatory compliance.
Finally, the paper industry utilizes the DPT 200 to monitor and control pressure in various stages of paper production, such as pulping, pressing, and drying. Consistent pressure measurement helps maintain product uniformity and process efficiency, while also protecting equipment from damage due to pressure fluctuations.
