  • HART communication terminals accessible via terminal box

Working Principle:
The Silicon Resonant Sensor (DPharp) consists of a silicon diaphragm with two H-shaped resonant beams. When pressure is applied, the diaphragm deflects, causing a change in resonant frequency of the beams. This frequency shift is proportional to the applied pressure and is converted to a digital signal by an on-chip oscillator circuit. The digital signal is then converted to a 4–20 mA analog output and HART 7 digital communication is superimposed on the same current loop. The DPharp technology provides superior long-term stability compared to capacitive or piezoresistive sensors because the resonant frequency is inherently immune to temperature drift and aging effects.

Advantages & Highlights:

  • DPharp technology offers ±0.075% accuracy with 0.04% long-term stability per year
  • No oil fill eliminates maintenance and environmental concerns
  • HART 7 communication enables remote configuration, diagnostics, and range change
  • Wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C ambient)
  • SIL 2 certified for safety-critical applications
  • Intrinsically safe (Ex ia IIC T6 Ga) for hazardous area installations

Applicable Industries:

  • Oil & Gas (well testing, separator pressure, tank level)
  • Chemical & Petrochemical (reactor pressure, column differential pressure)
  • Power Generation (boiler drum level, condenser vacuum)
  • Pharmaceutical (cleanroom pressure monitoring)
  • Food & Beverage (fermentation tank pressure)
  • Pulp & Paper (stock preparation, headbox pressure)

Installation Requirements:

  • Install with process connection facing downward for liquid service (to prevent gas trapping)
  • Install with process connection facing upward for gas service (to prevent liquid accumulation)
  • Use impulse piping with equal length for DP measurement (max 10 m length)
  • Fill impulse lines with compatible seal fluid (silicone oil or glycol)
  • Torque process connection to 25 N·m (18.4 lbf·ft) maximum
  • Ensure cable gland is properly tightened to maintain IP67 rating

Usage Precautions:

  • Do not exceed 1.5 × URL static pressure (permanent sensor damage)
  • Do not apply pressure to the electronic housing (only to process connection)
  • HART communicator must be connected in parallel with the 250 Ω loop resistor
  • Do not disconnect the transmitter from the loop while HART communication is active
  • Zero calibration should be performed with process isolation valves closed
  • Replace diaphragm seal if process media is highly corrosive or abrasive
