Differential pressure transmitters are employed in many fields, often under very severe working conditions that pose many technical problems. The P10 series is the ultimate in transmitters, solving these problems ingeniously.
Pneumatic Output
The P10 transmitters output a proportional pneumatic signal: 20–100 kPa (which is roughly 0.2–1.0 bar or 3–15 psi) to remote pneumatic receivers.
This makes them suited for systems that use pneumatic control or pneumatic instrumentation.
Versatility in Measured Variables
While they are often used for differential pressure, they can also measure variables derived from differential pressure: flow rate, liquid level, density, etc.
This makes the P10 series a flexible choice for many process applications.
Capability
Supports a broad differential pressure span: for example, certain models support spans from 1.25 to 210 kPa.
Static (line) pressure capability is also high, depending on the model. For example, the Y/13A model supports very high static pressures.
Mounting Options Multiple models in the P10 line
Y/13A: standard pneumatic differential pressure transmitter.
Y/13FEA: flange-mount differential version.
Y/15A: very low-span differential (1.25–6.2 kPa) for precise level measurement.
Y/17B6: buoyancy type (for level/density) using a displacer.
Y/11AM: absolute pressure version.
Accuracy and Performance
Good accuracy (including linearity, hysteresis, repeatability) — for some models, ± 0.5% of span is specified.
Features
- Weatherproof / dusttight design: bleed air from the mechanism helps purge the topwork, preventing ingress of vapor or dust.
- Long proven track record in severe process environments.
- Operating temperature and environmental ratings are robust (depending on model). For example, some P10 transmitters operate in wide temperature ranges.
- Designed for long service life under harsh conditions.
- Based on a well-established force-balance pneumatic differential pressure transmitter design.
