Process Engineering Division – Instrumentation and Automation Section – Daily Question – Question from 2020-08-15: Discussion question: 205. How to understand the static pressure error of a differential pressure transmitter?
This post was last edited by huanghong on 2020-8-15 at 16:16. The static pressure error of a differential pressure transmitter is caused by the unequal effective areas of the diaphragm chambers for the positive and negative pressures. The differential pressure scale of a differential pressure transmitter is usually calibrated with the negative pressure chamber exposed to atmospheric pressure. When it is installed on-site and zeroed using the actual static pressure under operating conditions, it is often found that the zero output differs from that obtained during calibration with the negative pressure chamber exposed to atmospheric pressure. The deviation of the zero output obtained by applying the same static pressure to these positive and negative pressure chambers from the zero value obtained when testing with atmospheric pressure is referred to as static pressure error.

When the same pressure is applied to both the positive and negative pressure chambers of a differential pressure transmitter, the output zero point of the transmitter shifts. This shift value changes as the static pressure increases, and this error caused by static pressure is known as static pressure error. The main reasons for static pressure error are: a. The effective areas of the diaphragms in the positive and negative pressure chambers are not equal; b. The bellows or diaphragm of the output shaft sealing device is not aligned with the main lever, resulting in an eccentricity; c. The screws holding the mounting bracket are not evenly tightened, causing the main lever and the base to be out of alignment; d. Improper assembly of the instrument, such as uneven tightening of the screws fixing the various components, or incorrect assembly of the lower lever and the “C”-shaped spring
