Differential Pressure Transmitter Installation Formula | Wet Leg

Calculation Formula | L.R.V & U.R.V and  Span Value Calculation
Formula Full Details.

Example:-
In this Given Below Figure, the DP-Type Transmitter is fitted on the Water Stored tank .
The DP-Type Transmitter has Two Legs, HP Side Leg is Fitted on the Bottom of the tank &
LP Side Leg is Fitted on the Top of the Tank. The Total height of The tank is 750 mm, and
transmitter HP side Leg is fitted below the tank is 400 mm, the Specific gravity of Liquid of
Tank which is Connected to HP Side Leg of Transmitter is =1 sg, and Other LP Side Leg of
Transmitter  is Filled with Glycerin, Suppose glycerin Specific gravity is =0.8 sg. Calculate
the LRV & LRV values and also Calculate the Span values in the Transmitter.

GIVEN DATA:-

A to C Point Height L1=750 mm

C to B Point height L2=400 mm

Specific gravity of Liquid is SG1=1

Specific gravity of Glycerin is SG2=0.8

Calculate LRV, URV and Span Value of this Transmitter ?

X= 1150 mm

( X= Total Height )

L.R.V calculation:-

Next Calculate at Zero Level ( Means when Liquid tank is Empty Condition )

Fig. 1

L.R.V = Pressure Acting on HP-Side – Pressure Acting on LP-Side

Pressure Acting on HP-Side is = L1*SG1    ……. (Eqn-1)

=400X1 = 400 mmH2o

Pressure Acting on LP Side = X*SG2  …….    ( Eqn-2)

= 1150*0.8 =920 mmH2o

Lets go to Repeat it L.R.V Calculation ( Lower Range Value )

LRV = Pressure Acting on HP-Side – Pressure Acting on LP-Side

Here Put Equation….(1) – Equation….(2) Formula

⇒ (L1*SG1) – (X*SG2)

⇒ 400*1 – 1150*0.8

= 400 mmH2o – 920 mmH2o

LRV = -520 mmH2o

Next Calculate at 100%  Level ( Means when Liquid tank is Filled Condition )

Fig. 2

U.R.V = Pressure Acting on HP-Side – Pressure Acting on LP-Side

Pressure Acting on HP-Side is = (L1+L2)*SG1    ……. (Eqn-1)

    ⇒ (400+750)*1 = 1150 mmH20

Pressure Acting on LP-Side is = X*SG2  ……..(Eqn-2)

    = 1150*0.8 =920 mmH2o

Lets go to Repeat it U.R.V Calculation ( Upper Range Value )

URV = Pressure Acting on HP-Side – Pressure Acting on LP-Side

Here Put Equation….(1) – Equation….(2) Formula

⇒ (L1+L2)*SG1 – X*SG2

= 1150 mmH20 – 920 mmH2o

    U.R.V = 230 mmH2o

SPAN Value calculation:-

Span = URV – LRV

=230-(-520) = 750 mmH2o

Span = 750 mmH2o
