Differential Pressure Meters and Transmitters
• The measurement of pressures in the range from 1 to 600 in of
water where the static pressure may be as high as 5000 psig or even
higher is one of the most common industrial problems.
• Differential pressure meters
– Differential-pressure indicating enlarged-leg manometer
– Bell differential-pressure meter
– Bellows differential-pressure meter
• Transmitters
– Inductance-coil system
– Resistance method
– Magnetic-clutch method
– Pneumatic-balance differential-pressure meter
– Electric pressure gage
