Explain how a DP transmitter is used to measure flow and level.

Question

Accepted Answer

DP transmitters measure differential pressure for flow and level applications in various industries.

DP transmitters operate by measuring the pressure difference between two points.
In flow applications, they can be used to calculate flow rate using the orifice plate method.
For level measurement, they determine the height of liquid in a tank by measuring the pressure at the bottom.
Example: A DP transmitter can measure the level of water in a tank by sensing the pressure exerted by the water column.
They are widely used in industries like oil & gas, water treatment, and chemical processing.
