PRESSURE GAUGES:
A Pressure Gauge is used for measuring the
pressure of a gas or liquid.
A Vacuum Gauge is used to measure the pressure
in a vacuum.
A Compound Gauge is used for measuring both
Vacuum and Pressure.
Pressure Gauges are used for Indication only.

Measuring Principle
Bourdon tube measuring element is made of a thin-walled C-shape tube or
spirally wound helical or coiled tube. When pressure is applied to the measuring
system through the pressure port (socket), the pressure causes the Bourdon
tube to straighten itself, thus causing the tip to move. The motion of the tip is
transmitted via the link to the movement which converts the linear motion of the
bourdon tube to a rotational motion that in turn causes the pointer to indicate the
measured pressure.

Pressure Transmitter
A Pressure Transmitter is used where indication and/or
record of pressure is required at a location not adjacent to
the primary element.
A Pressure Transmitter is used for both indication and
control of a process.
A Pressure Transmitter is used where overall high
performance is mandatory.
Both Electronic and Pneumatic Transmitters are used.
These can be either Gauge, Absolute or Differential
Pressure Transmitters.

PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS
HOW IT WORKS
Pressure sensors either convert the pressure into mechanical movement or into an
electrical output. Complete gauges not only sense the pressure but indicate them on a
dial or scale.
1) Mechanical movement is produced with the following
elements
1) Bourdon Tube
2) Spring and Piston
3) Bellows and capsules
4) Diaphragm
The Bourdon tube is a hollow tube with an elliptical cross section. When a pressure difference exists
between the inside and outside, the tube tends to straighten out and the end moves. The movement is
usually coupled to a needle on a dial to make a complete gauge. It can also be connected to a secondary
device such as an air nozzle to control air pressure or to a suitable transducer to convert it into an
electric signal. This type can be used for measuring pressure difference.
1.4 DIAPHRAGMS
Strain Gauge- The principles of electric strain gauges are covered later. Strain gauges are small
elements that are fixed to a surface that is strained. The change in length of the element produces
changes in the electrical resistance. This is processed and converted into a voltage. A typical pressure
transducer would contain a metal diaphragm which bends under pressure.
Loop Diagram
The piping and instrumentation diagram identifies, but does not describe in detail, the field instrumentation that is used by
the process control system, as well as field devices such as manual blocking valves that are needed in plant operations.
Many of the installation details associated with field instrumentation, such as the field devices, measurement elements,
wiring, junction block termination, and other installation details are documented using a loop diagram. ISA has defined the
ISA-5.4 standard for Instrument Loop Diagrams. This standard does not mandate the style and content of instrument loop
diagrams, but rather it is a consensus concerning their generation. A loop diagram, also commonly known as a loop sheet,
is created for each field device that has been given a unique tag number. The loop diagrams for a process area are normally
bound into a book and are used to install and support checkout of newly installed field devices. After plant commissioning,
the loop Diagrams provide the wiring details that a maintenance person needs to find and troubleshoot wiring to the
control system.
Loop Diagram Drawing that shows field device installation details including wiring
and the junction box (if one is used) that connects the field device to the control
system.
The loop diagram is a critical piece of documentation associated with the installation of the control system. As has been
mentioned, the engineering company that is designing a process normally has standards that they follow in the creation of
a loop diagram. These standards may be documented by the creation of a master template that illustrates how field devices
and nomenclature are used on the drawing.

Tagging Conventions
Tagging Conventions
The ISA-5.1 standard defines a standard tag number convention for valves, transmitters, other field devices,
and calculation and control functions. In addition, the standard defines expanded tag number conventions that
may better meet the documentation requirements of large installations that consist of many process areas or
multiple measurements that serve similar functions.
TYPICAL TAG NUMBERTIC 103 - Instrument Identification or Tag Number
T 103 - Loop Identifier

EXPANDED TAG NUMBER- 10-PAH-5A - Tag Number

The previous examples of the process flow diagram, piping and instrumentation diagram, and loop
diagram contained one or more circle symbols. In these drawings, a circle is used to indicate a
discrete instrumentation or control function. A horizontal line drawn through the middle of the
circle indicates the function may be accessed by the plant operator. There are many functions, such
as those performed by an I/P transducer or valve positioner, that are typically not directly
accessible by the operator. Also, some field devices for measurement and actuation may only be
accessed by control or calculation functions in the control system and thus would not be shown in
the documentation as being directly accessed by the operator. However, the associated control or
calculation function that is accessed by the operator would include a horizontal line.
one of the conventions advocated in ISA-5.1 is to include a square around the circle if the associated
function is accessed by an operator through a video display of a distributed control system (DCS).
However, in practice, this convention is often not followed.
