Downhole pressure is a key variable in the operation of oil wells. Drilling operators need to measure pressure and temperature to optimise drilling processes and ensure safety. Once drilling is complete and production begins, these measurements are then required to optimise throughput, maximise uptime and again, ensure safety. Downhole pressure measurement requires rugged components with increased pressures and temperatures as holes become deeper. Maintaining and replacing downhole sensors is a challenging task so high reliability is paramount. Space is also at a premium in narrow boreholes....

Pressure sensors or pressure sensor elements are measuring elements which convert the physical quantity of pressure into an electrical quantity that is proportional to the pressure. Different physical effects and different sensor materials such as silicon, ceramic or metal are used. Each technology may have specific advantages and disadvantages. The pressure sensor design that is most suitable for an application is determined by the demands of the application, for example, the material in contact with the media and its suitability for certain media are of fundamental importance....

In other words, an intrinsically safe system is one with energy levels so low they cannot cause an explosion. Intrinsic safety is a concept that was born in the mining industry in the early 19th century. At that time a lot of mining accidents were traced to sparks that were generated by electrical circuits used in mine lighting and signalling equipment etc. These mining accidents were explosions......

Difference Between Gauge and Absolute Pressure Measurement

Pressure can be described as the force applied to an area. There are many different systems of pressure measurement, with absolute pressure and sealed gauge pressure being two of the most common. There are many differences between these two measurements of pressure that have significant effects on their use and measurement. Depending on why you are measuring pressure, determining whether you need gauge or absolute reference pressure is as important as selecting the pressure range itself, particularly for low pressure. If you get it wrong it could create huge errors in your measurements. The......

How to Choose the Correct Output For Your Pressure Transducer
June 11, 2013
A pressure transducer is a transducer that converts pressure into an analogue electrical signal. Selecting the correct pressure transducer for the appropriate application can be a complex task, and failure to do so can make the operation of the equipment ineffective. Although there are various types of pressure transducers, one of the most common is the strain-gauge based transducer. The conversion of pressure into an electrical signal is achieved by the physical deformation of strain gauges which are bonded onto the diaphragm of the pressure transducer and wired into a Wheatstone bridge......

Factors That Affect Performance of Low Pressure Transmitters

Low pressure transmitters may look robust on the outside with its high IP rated stainless steel case just like any other pressure transmitter, but inside these transmitters is a very thin diaphragm which is highly sensitive to any kind of mechanical or acceleration stress. There are a variety of differing technologies out there when it comes to low pressure sensing such as variable capacitance, strain gauges and variable inductance. All of these......

SOS Technology For DPs
April 30, 2012
Silicon-on-Sapphire sensor technology has redefined the performance capability of our differential transmitters. S.O.S. was initially utilised in the advancement of high temperature integrated circuits for the NASA space programme. ESI has taken this technology and developed a sensor that is capable of accurately measuring vibration, torque, force or pressure in extreme temperatures over long periods of time. The outstanding elastic properties of the sapphire substrate provide the perfect platform on which to create a sensor with no measurable hysteresis and superb repeatability. The......

What is The Difference Between a Pressure Transducer and Transmitter?
January 23, 2012
Let us briefly explain to you what the difference is between a pressure transducer and transmitter. Both transducers and transmitters convert energy from one form to another and give an output signal. The signal is directed to any device that interprets it and uses it to display record or alter the pressure in a system. So how do you decide whether it is best to use a transducer or transmitter for you application? Transducers and transmitters are virtually the same thing, the main difference being the kind of electrical signal each sends. A transducer sends a signal in volts (V) or millivolt......

Silicon on Sapphire Pressure Sensing Technology
January 20, 2012
ESI has now integrated its proven Silicon-on-Sapphire pressure sensing technology into a range of intrinsically safe transmitters. Explosive atmospheres can be caused by flammable gases, mists, vapours or combustible dusts. If there is enough of the substance mixed with the air, one source of ignition can cause an explosion, leading to major damage, serious injury and even loss of life. Using the correct intrinsically safe equipment is a significant factor in the prevention of such explosions. Excellent Performance Hazardous Zones ATEX is the name commonly given to the framework for......

What is a Pressure Transducer
January 18, 2012
A transducer is a device that converts input energy of one form into output energy of another. A Pressure transducer converts applied pressure into an analogue electrical output. Over the years, pressure transducers have provided a convenient, accurate and reliable method of controlling and monitoring pressure in thousands of applications, as well as being used indirectly to measure variables such as fluid/gas, water level, flow and speed. What is a Pressure Transducer? Pressure transducers are designed to be rugged and stable. They are able to operate in severe shock and vibration......
