A Guide On Selecting The Best Industrial Transmitters For Manufacturing

Industry
In terms of pressure and temperature, the industrial transmitters are types of electronic
devices, that are designed to provide accurate measurements. The usage of transmitters allows
for the monitoring and control of applications, thus ensuring stability, reliability, and safety of
processes. Moreover, the industrial transmitters are designed with additional reset and
calibration options. This would allow the transmitters to adjust the measurement range, while
ensuring a complete output signal.

In this article, we have provided the guide on how to select the best industrial transmitters.

Various Types Of Transmitters

Depending on the process application, the transmitters can be segregated in several types. The
transmitters are broadly divided into three groups- type, signal production, and process
instrumentation. The industrial transmitters can be divided into the following products, based
on these groups-

 Electronic : Subdivided into two types i.e. Analog and digital

 Pneumatic

The above mentioned transmitters are those classified as broad types, and signal production.
The transmitters that are utilized for process instrumentation purposes are basically four types.
All of them have multiple common types that are used for various industrial applications.

 Flow - ultrasonic flow sensors, differential pressure flow sensors, and velocity flow
sensors

 Temperature - Thermocouple type, RTD Type

 Pressure - Absolute Transmitter, Gauge Transmitter, Differential Transmitter

 Level - Point Level, Continuous Level, Ultrasonic Level, Conductive Level, Pneumatic
Level, Capacitance Level, Hydrostatic based

Why use a flow Transmitter?

A flow transmitter is used to measure and indicate flow. It combines a flow sensor and
transmitter in one piece. The flow signal from the flow sensor is used by the transmitter to
generate a 4-20 mA output that represents changes in flow in the actual process. Many
customers often just want to know the rate at which a gas or liquid is flowing through a pipeline.
In such cases, a simple flow indicator available at a fraction of the cost of the simplest
flowmeter, will usually suffice. These instruments are simple and easy to install. It requires no
external power and can be used to provide local indication of flow.

How to select/choose a flow transmitter?

When it comes to selecting or choosing a flowmeter, cheapest is by no means best. Even

though, it might seem the best way to save money in the short term, considering for the lower
cost solution may potentially result in problems later down the line.

Ultimately, the most cost-effective installation will be the one where the supplier can offer good
technical back-up, independently traceable test facilities, an established track record and a
reputation for high-reliability products based on sound research and development.
