Pressure transmitters FCX-A/CII Dual Temperature Compensation Eprom Silicon Sensor www.coulton.com
Pressure transmitters FCX-A/CII • Both Types use Measuring cell with floating sensor • Floating silicone sensor in the cell neck, to improove the static pressure, overload and temperature characteristics. • Protection diaphragm in the cell body allows an overload pressure corresponding to the maximum static pressure without damage of the sensor. www.coulton.com
Pressure transmitters FCX-A/CII • Capacitance silicone sensor • The micro machined silicone sensor is based on the capacitance measuring principle. Capacitance C1 & C2 change with applied differential pressure. • Cell protected from temperature variation by silicon fabrication and minimmal physical size. • Stress forces are balanced by floating cell design. www.coulton.com
Pressure transmitters FCX-A/CII • Matching Convolutions reduce volume Convolutions are machined on the body. Diaphragm is electron beam welded to the body Diaphragm is pressed to body. • Benefits • No damage on over pressure • Improved Temperature Spec • Reduced Stress www.coulton.com
ORIFICE PLATE FLOWMETERS • Advantages: • Low cost, especially on large sizes • No need for recalibration • Widely accepted • Disadvantages: • Poor turndown (4:1 typical) • Long installations • Subject to wear. www.coulton.com
