摘要: A pressure transmitter has a pressure sensor coupled to an isolator diaphragm by a fill fluid such as oil. According to the invention, means are provided for measuring the position of the isolator diaphragm and comparing the measured position with an expected position to give an indication of fill fluid leakage. Non-contact arrangements such as capacitive and ultrasonic techniques are disclosed for measuring isolator diaphragm position, as well as contacting arrangements such as switches. The fill fluid loss arrangement can be incorporated into a two-wire transmitter, which transmitter can be made to send a warning signal to a control unit when fill fluid loss is detected.

摘要: An isolator diaphragm is formed and connected to a support member so it will withstand periodic high pressure cleaning. Such periodic cleaning includes use of heated, concentrated cleaning solutions flowing under high pressure from a nozzle which moves rapidly over segments of an exposed surface of the isolator diaphragm. The present invention prevents isolator diaphragm failure precipitated by the substantially incompressible isolator fluid driven toward the perimeter of the diaphragm during cleaning operations. Such cleaning operations generate a separating force between the isolator diaphragm and diaphragm support. The isolator diaphragm has a peripheral wall portion bonded to a planar support surface and is formed to have an offset center region. The peripheral wall and center region are joined by a conical, inclined wall bounding the center portion. The support member has a correspondingly shaped recess with an inclined annular wall that supports the conical wall of the diaphragm. The primary diaphragm flexure point of the center portion of the diaphragm is moved away from the perimeter of the diaphragm, to adjacent the junction of the inclined wall and the center region. The bonding area is not subjected to a high separating force due to the movement in the incompressible fill fluid to a localized region of the diaphragm adjacent a seal or junction line.

摘要: A process fluid pressure measurement system includes a process fluid pressure transmitter coupled to a coplanar manifold. The coplanar manifold includes a first bore coupleable to a source of process fluid, and a vent passageway connected to the first bore and terminating in a vent hole. The coplanar manifold includes at least one port configured to receive a valve stem. Directly engaging the valve stem with the coplanar manifold selectively vents the coplanar manifold. Aspects of the present invention also include a coplanar manifold for coupling fluid to a process fluid pressure transmitter, and a method of venting such a coplanar manifold.

摘要: A pressure transmitter with a fluid isolator that includes a sensor tube and a fill tube that have “D” shaped ends that connect together in a port internal to the transmitter. The shaped ends can be brazed into the port for sealing. Fitting both the sensor tube and the fill tube in the same port provides a low cost isolator with reduced isolator liquid volume. The fluid isolator has an isolator diaphragm with a central diaphragm region overlying a central backing plate that includes a annular groove. The annular groove avoids slow response of the isolator after an overpressure condition.

摘要: Conversion circuitry for use in a process control system is adapted for coupling to a primary process control loop. Digital receiver circuitry in the conversion circuitry receives a digital signal transmitted over the primary process control loop from a field transmitter and responsively provides a digital output. A microprocessor receives the digital output and responsively provides a secondary loop control output. Secondary loop control circuitry for coupling to a secondary process control loop receives the secondary loop control output from the microprocessor and responsively controls current flowing through the secondary process control loop. The current flowing through the secondary process control loop is related to the digital signal transmitted by the field transmitter.

摘要: A metal thin film bonds a semiconductor bonding region of a diaphragm layer to a ceramic bonding region of a high modulus support block. The arrangement isolates a pressure sensing diaphragm from undesired strain, improving sensor accuracy. A passageway through the support block couples the fluid pressure to the sensing diaphragm to deflect it. Capacitive coupling between the diaphragm and a capacitor plate on the support block sense the deflection and provide an output representative of pressure.
