Pressure Sensor

Top  Previous  Next

**

With the pressure sensor you can measure the pressure in a container or in a pipe like element.

 

If the pressure sensor is assigned to a container it will measure the pressure on the hight of its lower plane.

 

If the pressure sensor lies on a pipe the pressure will be measured by linear interpolation between the pressure at the beginning and the end of of the pipe. If it is about a bended pipe in z-direction and the gravity pressure plays a significant part this will be a rough simplification and the results should be viewed with caution.

 

If the pressure sensor lies on a pump, a valve or a check valve the pressure at the nearest end will be reported to the PLC.

 

If you use flanges you will have to raise the there described factor eventually to be able to execute a satisfactory flow measurement.
