Introduction INTRODUCTION The SR301 is a Remote Seal that allows the pressure transmitter to make measures in situations where the immediate contact of the transmitter diaphragm with the process fluid it is not allowed. The remote seal is made up by one connection with the diaphragm and one capillary connection with filling fluid.

Thus, in choosing the seal size these factors must be considered according to each case to guarantee excellent performance and long-life span. This manual was made to help install, operate, and maintain the SR301. It contains information about transmitter/seal assembly, organized in the following categories: •...

LD30XL: Level Transmitter (Family 301, 302 and 303) LD30XS: Sanitary Transmitter (Family 301, 302 and 303) For more information, consult SMAR Pressure Transmitters Catalogs and Manuals. NOTE The overpressure shown in Table 2.3 above, does not damage the transmitter, although it will be necessary to recalibrate the transmitter.
V. sup. –Work Range Upper Value V. inf – Work Range Lower Value Diaphragm Material The diaphragm material should be selected considering its chemical resistance to external agents, process fluid and temperature involved. For more information about materials corrosion, consult the Smar’s Application Engineer.
Table 2.4 shows the filling fluids used by Smar with some physical properties and types of application. On Figures 2.3 and 2.4 the Steam Pressure curves (mmHg) are shown against the Temperature (°C) of these fluids.
Selection Calculation of Temperature Errors Remote seal temperature errors are due to the volume variation of the filling fluid in the transmitter body, extension, capillary and remote seal. Following, the necessary information for the error calculation are described. Equations To obtain a volume variation for each leg of the remote seal, the temperature variation in the seal, in the capillary and in the transmitter body must be known and then insert the value in the equations below.

SR301 – Operation, Maintenance, and Instructions Manual Total Probable Assembly Error The Total Probable Error (TPE) of the transmitter and seal/level assembly is a measure that involves all the probable error sources in this measurement, such as: transmitter accuracy, ambient temperature, static pressure, vibration and changes in the transmitter power supply.
Selection Calculation of Remote Seal Response Time The response time is obtained through the equation 2.15, below: ⋅ listed (2.15) Where: Remote seal response time (seconds) : Response Time through the capillary length (seconds/meters) – See Table 2.10 listed Capillaty length (meters) NOTE The values obtained for the seal response time do not consider the response time of the transmitter.
Selection Capillary Length The capillary length is a variable defined in terms of the application need, as for example, the tank height or distance of the remote point to be measured. To evaluate the maximum capillary length, three conditions must be fulfilled: 1) To check if the expanded or contracted volume relative to the initial volume of the corrugated is within Lower and Upper limits (VC and VC...
To better understand the influence of these parameters, a Total Probable Error behavior guide for the transmitter and the remote seal assembly was devised. This guide is valid only for the assembly of the Remote Seal SR301T and the Smar pressure transmitter LD30X with the following conditions: •...

Type of Seal and Ordering Code Diaphragm Hydrogen Migration The hydrogen in H2 form does not have penetration danger in the diaphragm. However if the hydrogen separates forming ions of hydrogen (H+), the penetration can happen, therefore the spaces between the molecules of the diaphragm material can be larger than the size of the ion. Inside of the diaphragm, this ion in contact with filling fluid (silicone oils) can be return the H2 form and to be arrested (inflating the diaphragm), causing damages the measurement.
