ADVANTAGES:
Following are the major advantages associated with techniques of level
measurement using differential pressure.
Differential pressure based level sensors can be easily mounted or retrofitted
to the surface of the vessel.
To carry out maintenance and testing, these sensors can be provided with
block valves for isolating them carefully from the process liquid.
They can be easily applied in level measurement applications such as total
level in separator vessels where other level measurement devices are not
feasible owing to the extensive changes in material formation experienced in
the upper state.
DISADVANTAGES:
Use of differential pressure transmitters includes few drawbacks too, which are
mentioned below:
Errors can get introduced in the measurements if the density of the process
fluid varies because of reasons such as temperature variations or change of
process. Hence, the density of the process must always be maintained
constant in order to get accurate results.
Differential pressure transmitter works well with clean liquids only. Besides, it
necessitates two vessel penetrations for its operation, out of which one is
installed near the vessel base where leakage happens.
Their use is always avoided with liquids such as paper pulp stock since they
result in solidification upon rise in their concentrations.
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS:
There are unlimited industrial applications of Differential Pressure Transmitters.
Oil and Gas flow metering in onshore, offshore and subsea applications.
Water and effluent treatment plants. It is largely used to monitor filters in
these plants.
It is used to monitor Sprinkler Systems.
Remote sensing of Heating Systems for Steam or Hot Water.
Pressure drops across valves can be monitored.
Pump control monitoring.
