What Is a Pressure Transmitter? Understanding the Key Components That Make It Work

Blog /

If you’ve asked what pressure transmitter technology is and why it matters, know that these instruments keep industrial processes running smoothly and safely. A pressure transmitter connects to a transducer and converts pressure measurements into analog electrical signals that can be sent to control systems. These signals are typically 4-20mA current or 1-5 Volt voltage.

Magnetic Flow Meter Explained: How It Works and When to Use Them

Blog /

A magnetic flow meter offers something most flow measurement devices cannot: accurate readings without any moving parts or obstructions in the flow path. This transducer measures fluid flow by detecting the voltage induced across the liquid as it moves through a magnetic field. The electromagnetic flow meter, also called a magmeter, relies on Faraday’s Law
