■Design

The main components of the pressure transmitter are:

•Brass housing with silicon measuring cell and electronics plate

•Process connection

•Electrical connection

SITRANS P pressure transmitters, Z series for gage pressure (7MF1562-...)

The SITRANS P pressure transmitter, Z series (7MF1562-...), measures the gage pressure of aggressive and non-aggressive gases, liquids and vapors.

The silicon measuring cell has a thin-film strain gage which is mounted on a ceramic diaphragm. The ceramic diaphragm can also be used for aggressive media.

The process connection to DIN EN 837-1 is made of brass and has a male thread G½B or a female thread G1/8B.

The electrical connection is made using a plug to DIN 43650 with a M16x1.5 cable inlet.

■Function

The pressure transmitters of the Z series for gage pressure mea- sure the pressure of aggressive and non-aggressive gases, liquids and vapors.

The measuring cell is temperature-compensated.

Mode of operation

■Benefits

•High measuring accuracy

•Sturdy brass housing

•For aggressive and non-aggressive media

•For measuring the pressure of liquids, gases and vapor

•Temperature-compensated measuring cell

•Compact design

■Application

The pressure transmitter of the Z series for gage pressure (7MF1562-...) is used above all in the following industrial areas:

•Power engineering

•Mechanical engineering

•Shipbuilding

•Water supply etc.

A concrete application example is the measurement of com- pressed air containing oil in compressors or compressor sta- tions.

The thin-film measuring cell has a thin-film resistance bridge at which the operating pressure p is transmitted through a ceramic diaphragm.

The measuring cell output voltage is fed to an amplifier and con- verted into an output current of 4 to 20 mA. The output current is linearly proportional to the input pressure.
