How can we use a DP Flow Transmitter for Level Measurement
Tuesday, July 31, 2018 IST
Firstly, I need to clarify, that a DP transmitter is not only used for measuring flow, as the user referred to in his question, to a DP flow transmitter.
A differential pressure transmitter (or DP cell) literally measures any differential pressure across its High and Low pressure measuring ports, and provides an output proportional to the difference in pressure between the High and Low pressure ports.
If you look at the mechanical hydraulic properties of a liquid inside a vessel, you will remember that the liquid exerts a specific pressure on the bottom of the vessel, based on the liquid level height (h=meters), the specific gravity (g=9.8 m/s), and the density (rho kg/m3) of the liquid.
The formula for calculating this pressure is P = rho x g x h.
A DP cell can thus be used to measure the pressure of the liquid at the bottom of the vessel, and scaled to give a percentage level value proportional to the pressure measured.
