PE-20

Pressure transducers are devices that measure pressure within the applications of fluid and gaseous processes. The PE-20 pressure transducer is designed for use in a variety of industrial environments, including in the food and beverage, chemical, and hydraulic industries. This article provides an overview of the applications and working principle of the PE-20 pressure transducer.

The PE-20 has a robust body construction made from stainless steel, making it suitable for use in environments with high Corrosion Resistance (CR) requirements. It has an extensive pressure range of 0-10,000 psi, with cell constants ranging from 1 mV/V to 10 mV/V. It is equipped with a 4-20 mA current loop interface, making it ideal for use with analog and digital control systems. The device can also be used with an adjustable zero reference, ensuring reliable and accurate pressure measurements.

The PE-20 is designed to provide reliable and accurate pressure measurements in a wide range of industrial applications. Primarily, the device is used to measure liquid/gas pressures in applications such as pump systems, tank and bin level systems, gas processing, and pressure measurement in compressible fluids. Additionally, the device can be used for monitoring fluid pressure in pressure vessels, cooling systems, and hydraulic systems. The device is also suitable for use in high temperature, corrosive, and dusty environments.

The working principle of the PE-20 pressure transducer is based on the principle of physically deforming a diaphragm element in response to the applied pressure. The diaphragm element is typically constructed from stainless steel and is sealed within the transducer body. As pressure is applied to the device, the diaphragm element is deflected, stretching the piezoresistors within the transducer. The deflection of the diaphragm element causes a change of electrical resistance in the piezoresistors, which is then measured by the device and converted to an output voltage signal. This voltage signal is then sent to the device’s analog/digital control system, where it is used for analysis and control.

In summary, the PE-20 pressure transducer is designed to provide reliable and accurate pressure measurements in a variety of industrial applications. The working principle of the device is based on the physical deflection of a diaphragm element in response to the applied pressure, with the diaphragm’s deflection causing a change of electrical resistance in the piezoresistors, which is then sent to the device’s analog/digital control system. The device is ideal for use in a variety of industries, including food and beverage, chemical, and hydraulic industries.
