To measure the pressure of working bodies (liquids, gases) transported through pipeline systems or pumped into storage (transportation) tanks, special measuring equipment is required. The Yokogawa pressure sensor (here link to the supplier's official website) features:
- High precision pressure readings.
- Reliability and long service life.
The unique structural diagram of their device includes a sensitive resonant element made of monocrystalline silicon. It is a flat parallelepiped that:
- Installed in a sealed capsule.
- Integrated into the plane of the sensitive membrane.
This allows the instrument to take pressure readings in a fluid transfer system or storage tank in a so-called non-contact (wireless) format and transmit them to a signal converter.
Schematic diagram of operation
Taking into account the magnitude of the generated pressure (vacuum), the silicon membrane of the sensor is stretched or compressed, thus creating mechanical vibrations that:
- Are fixed in the magnetic field of the device.
- Converted to an electrical signal.
- They are removed by a frequency element for translation into digital parameters displayed.
This allows you to record the pressure of the working fluid at the moment with high accuracy parameters and convert the readings into the units of measurement necessary for the operator. Upgraded Yokogawa devices of the latest series are equipped with 2 sensitive elements at once, which provides for the possibility of using the device for measuring both pressure and vacuum, for example, in vacuum installations.
You can get more complete information on the technical parameters and various applications of Yokogawa series pressure measuring instruments using the website of the Uralprompribor company, which supplies them to the domestic market. The equipment is available, sold on a contractual basis with the provision of a guarantee of originality, accuracy of reading and quality.
