What is a Pressure Sensor?

[@hubert187]

Awesome video, just had a related issue at our plant. Our feed-water tank, for the boiler, has a DP sensor that determines the water level. The lower port was clogged causing a false high reading in the feed-water tank. We never got makeup water, and the boilers tripped. All that rust build up at the bottom of the tank clogged our reading! Now we have a blow down installed, to keep those ports clean. Keep up the awesome work, I'm learning more every day!

Very informative video. From the scratch, what is Pressure sensor, how does it work and what are types of Pressure sensors, all this is explained very well with the creative diagrams. Very useful for the students who are studying industrial automation. A Pressure sensor is a device that catches the pressure and manages to change it into an electronic signal where the quantity depends upon how much pressure appealed. Keep sharing such videos. Thank you.

[@LeonardoLeo-jw2dx]

I have been thinking about this for so long and I need a good answer, when do we use a pressure switch and when do we use a pressure transmitter?

[@realpars]

Pressure transmitters could be used anywhere a pressure switch is used. However, pressure transmitters are larger, more expensive, and require analog cards in the PLC or converter circuits. So, pressure transmitters are used when you absolutely need to know the exact pressure in a line or vessel for pressure control, level detection, or flow metering using a differential pressure flow element. Pressure switches are used where I only need to know if the pressure has risen above or fallen below a set value.

[@marcfruchtman9473]

Very good video. I believe that the typical voltage range would normally be 1 to 5 volts, not 0 to 5 volts because we always want some minimal signal right?

[@realpars]

Although 0-5V and 0-10V are used, 1-5V and 1-10V are more often used for sensing. 4-20ma is the most used because the range of a current signal is much longer (1000m) than a voltage signal (15m). Using 1-5V instead of 0-5V gives a "live" zero (which you referred to), making it easier to troubleshoot wiring and hardware issues.

What is the equation to determine the level of the liquid with size and gravity ? Thank you

[@realpars]

Hello Hassan Sahmoud, Thank you for your question. This is a good question, but it can’t be answered with one common equation. In our video, we discussed 3 units of measurement for our example. The Pascal, Bar, and PSI measurements have different equations depending on the measuring device you will use to monitor your system. And factors like the type of liquid, size of pipe or vessel you are using to move your liquid, and of course, the gravity used in your area. Therefore, unfortunately, there is no one equation I can give you. Here are some links you might what to explore to help with your question. And of course, you can also view some of the REALPARS KZbin videos depending on the subject you want to learn more about. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6PYaaeIrLhqj8U&lc=UgyBr781CbdOKhSGeZJ4AaABAg www.omega.com/en-us/ Happy learning!

[@divyangpatluwala7425]

we measured pressure in closed equipment. ..is it Guage pressure or absolute pressure?..plz answer

[@realpars]

Typically, in the case you describe, the measurement would be gauge pressure. It ultimately depends on the reference for the "low side" pressure reference, whether it is the atmosphere (gauge), another point in the process (differential), or vacuum (absolute). Absolute pressure sensors are constructed with an enclosed vacuum chamber and are more expensive than other pressure sensors and not as common. You will need to inspect the model number and vendor literature to make certain of the type of sensor you have. If there are two connection ports visible in the sensor body, it is a gauge (or differential) pressure sensor.

Sir is it posible to put a pressure sensor and valve together to form self-acting pressure control valves?

[@realpars]

Absolutely! There are a couple of ways to do this. First, they make self-regulating pressure control valves, which are set by a pilot signal or a set screw. If you need to connect the pressure transmitter and the valve to a control system, there are a number of "smart valves" that are on the market to which a pressure transmitter can be directly connected and for which the control algorithm is executed inside the valves electronics. Many times these valve electronics are called "smart valve positioners".

[@vishalhajare824]

What are the possible reasons of tripping a pump in SCADA System?

[@scottsommer6480]

There are many reasons that can be programmed into the PLC, but a few commons reasons are: loss of feed (low level in tank, low suction pressure), over-current on motor, and loss of other interlock (local disconnect, pump enable, etc.)
