Gauge Pressure With Front-Flush Diaphragm - Siemens SITRANS P Compact Operating Instructions

Technical data
8.1 Input
Gauge pressure measuring limits
• Measuring cell with inert oil
• Measuring cell with FDA-compliant oil
Upper measuring limit
Lower range value
For devices with functional safety, the minimum permissible measuring span is limited by the
1)
turndown. Therefore, ensure that the configured turndown is no higher than 5:1.
For 250 mbar/25 kPa/3.6 psi measuring cells, the low measuring limit is 750 mbar a/75 kPa a/
2)
10.8 psi a. The measuring cell is vacuum-tight down to 30 mbar a/3 kPa a/0.44 psi a.

1) For devices with functional safety, the minimum permissible measuring span is limited by the
turndown. Therefore, ensure that the configured turndown is no higher than 5:1.
The MAWP value of the pressure transmitter can be lower than the PN value of the mounting
2)
flange and vice versa. To determine the maximum permissible operating pressure and the
maximum permissible test pressure, use the lowest value as reference.
