Pressure Transmitters for Water & Pump Applications

VFD booster pumps, municipal pump houses, water distribution networks & pressure boosting skids

THE OPERATING CHALLENGE

Why Standard Catalog Sensors Often Fail in this Application

Pumps starting and stopping frequently cause severe hydraulic transients (water hammer). In VFD systems, rapid response and electrical noise immunity from variable speed motor drives are mandatory.

PROCESS PARAMETER PROFILEENGINEERING BASELINE
Typical Working Range:0–10 / 16 / 25 / 40 bar gauge
Process Media:Potable water, raw water, treated effluent
Fluid & Ambient Temp:-10°C to +85°C
Primary Failure Risk:Pressure spikes causing diaphragm rupture & VFD inverter electrical EMI noise
ENGINEERING SELECTION CHECKLIST

What to Specify When Ordering for this Process

  • Select internal pulse snubber / damping orifice if pumps start without soft-starters
  • Use 4–20 mA current loop for long runs back to the control panel or PLC
  • Select 0.5–4.5 V ratiometric for compact OEM pump controller boards
  • Specify 1/4" BSP (G1/4) male process connection for standard pump manifold ports
ACT FIELD INSTALLATION ADVICE

When mounting directly on the pump discharge manifold, position the sensor on a vertical pipe section or with an inverted siphon (pigtail) to minimize trapped air pockets and direct pump vibration.
