How to obtain the LRV and URV for a differential pressure transmitter.

This is a brie overview on how to obtain the lower range value and upper range value for a differential pressure transmitter.
This video explains how to use the differential pressure formula for the high side and the low side of a differential pressure transmitter when the transmitter is level with the base of a tank or below the base of the tank.
This video show you a formula.
This video show you what a wet leg is and how it can be compensated for.
This video can be used to find the level of a liquid / fluid in a tank.

wow clear cut explanation about transmitter ranging ,your video is very useful.Thank yo so much Dear stuart

[@hamadzraij5107]

thanks for sharing this video it is really helps.

[@jordan1234691]

For the 2nd tank. Shouldn't be the specific gravity to be multiplied for LRV is 1.8? Since its not anymore the process liquid? I just ask for clarification. Thank you so much! Great video!

Very interested video Thanks for

Great .very useful

[@lbrowno]

you should do one of these for a open tank with the L side of the transmitter open to atmosphere

Dude great stuff.... 2nd tank what would be the pressure at low side at 12ma 50%? thanks

how to calculate input applied @ 0,25,50,75 & 100 percent if lrv is -1 and urv is 1??

so using the metric system we would use meters and convert it to mm

[@nimamoeiny5831]

what is the calculation if the transmitter installed 6 ft upper than bottom of the tank can you help me please

[@scrappydogfinance8434]

Nobody answered your question for 2 years? Hmmm.. here's my thoughts. better explained by showing a drawing and equations but here goes... In his example, the tank is 12ft high. If the transmitter is positioned 6 ft above bottom of the tank, the LRV calculation is as follows high side pressure Ph in the DP equation will be 0x12x1.0 = 0" and ... for LRV equation the low side pressure Pl would be 6x12x1.8 = -129.6" so LRV = 0"-129.6" = 129.6" for the URV equations, the low side pressure is the same -129.6" but the high side Pressure would be 6x12x1.0 = 72" the URV = Ph-Pl = 72" - 129.6" = -57.6" The transmitter cannot measure below its positioned height on the tank. So if the level is below the 6ft mark on the tank - the high side tap height, then it will still read 0" H20 of pressure on the high side and -129.6" on the low side. Thats my understanding of it. Althought these types of setups can be confusing and so I could be mistaken. Please anyone chime in and correct me if I missed something. === if the DP Transmitter is using Capillary lines with Process seals at the vessel, rather than impulse tubing === affects of position of the transmitter would be calculated slightly different than above examples. The capillary tubes can have a fill oil with SG (Specific Gravity) that is entirely different from the SG of the process fluid in the tank. The transmitter can be mounted above the tap and it can measure all the way to the bottom of the tank, unlike the open tubing examples shown in the video, and in the example I've explained above, the capillaries can measure the full range between the taps. === on second thoughts, the fluid on open tube would fall and pull a vacuum on the H side of the transmitter DP Cell, which similar to a Barometer tube, would pull a vaccum (negative pressure)... I will have to research this more. Hope this helps at least get the dialog going on this. I should have consulted my text book before answering... ===

[@babatundetosin387]

mr stuart since dp =PH-PL, URV=(12x12x1.0) -(-259.2) = 403.2"h2o....plese explain if you feel am wrong

[@itosip]

i might be wrong from what I understood 259.2 is pressure low,it is also equal to low range value(even tap),after you calculate DP with 0 high pressure using the formula( DP=Pressure high-Pressure low)

[@dadalog021]

yes its -259.2-144 = -403.2 you wrote PL and PH values with sign of subtraction..... Plz Explain me ?????

[@steve7389]

You should not have a negative sign for -258.2 for the calulation of the URV You are doing this PH - LRV should be PH-PL PL= 259 LRV= -259 Pressure at this level (low side) is not a negative number LRV= (0* 12in/1ft) - (1.8*12*12)= -259.2 Phi-Plo URV=[ PH=(12x12x1.0) - PL=(259.2) ] 144 - 259.2 =-115.

[@440stuart]

12 inches is one foot. So to go from feet to inches of water we multiply how ever many feet times 12 inches.

[@worldwide5389]

Stuart Brunt why sp of low side is 1.8 could you please explain in another video same with oil ?

[@quadracer392]

world wide More than likely he is using a dual diaphragm transmitter and the low side has a capillary that is silicone fluid filled and so it would have a specific gravity of 1.8.

[@henryrollins9177]

quadracer392 Pretty close, but actually is called a "wet leg" when you fill up the piping with a neutral fluid like silicone oil, liquid glicerine, glycopropilen, etc... to prefent contamination /freezing/boiling or simple process isolation.

[@saadebrahimkutty4015]

Where from this 12" come from?

[@marcoverm123]

feet to inches. (inh2o) 1 feet = 12 inches

[@TiberiusStorm]

Why does the Low side go to the top of the tank? Is it because the pressure is lower at the top of the tank?!

[@thomaskirk3103]

In this application the low leg would fill with condensate if left dry. So normal design ensures the leg is full ( usually a condensate pot) and the transmitter is setup reverse acting. As the d/p decreases with increasing level ( the high leg is coming up to meet the low leg) the transmitter output increases.

[@hans920]

where do the 12 inches come from?

[@isaiahlong7753]

Converting feet to inches. All the transmitter sees is inches of water column (“WC). 12 inches in a foot

Yeah, that is the usual practice, but I guess the figures are the same, only this way you end up with negative range values.

[@923mercury]

This makes no sense, how is your wet leg 1.8sp? So your wet side is the low side. The tank is variable, level will change. If the wet leg is full then shouldn’t it go to the high side and the bottom tap go to the low side which will be lower in pressure that the wet leg?

[@kithtube]

well.......why you need to multiply the range values ? it's gives totally wrong calculation.........!
