Description
The Model 50DP3 Pneumatic Differential Pressure Transmitter Delta-P Cell and the Model 50PP36 Pneumatic Differential
Pressure Transmitter measure the difference between two
related process pressures and convert the calculation to a
proportional signal. They are “force-balance” devices with
built-in adjustable damping and overrange protection to the
full static pressure limit. Adjustments include zero span and
damping, which can be made from the exterior of the transmitter.
The span adjustment is located under the transmitter cover.
A mounting is furnished to attach the transmitter to a 2"
vertical or horizontal pipe. The process connectors are on
2-1/8" centers, which match the conventional orifice plate
flange dimensions. For convenience, the process flanges with
flange adapters can be rotated 180°, or the body section can
be turned around to reverse the high and low pressure sides.
Accessory items typically include a 3-valve bypass manifold,
a combination filter-drip well-regulator, pressure gauges, and
a suppression-elevation kit.
