Selection

PDS300 is the reference choice

PDS300 normally meets requirements for filters, level, OEMs, energy, water, pulp and paper, oil and gas, and chemicals. PDS500 is considered where higher performance is required.

Applications

Where differential pressure is used

FiltersMonitoring increased pressure loss and detecting blockage.

LevelDifferential measurement on tanks and vessels where remote seals are not required.

DP flowUsed with orifice plates, Pitot tubes and other primary elements.

Process diagnostics

PILD: detecting impulse lines that are becoming blocked

How it works

Plugged Impulse Line Detection analyses the process's dynamic signature and can detect changes consistent with high- or low-pressure line blockage before measurement becomes clearly unreliable.

Where it is most useful

Particularly useful in DP flow measurement and impulse-line applications. Not every application is suitable: sufficient process dynamics are needed for the analysis.

Installation

Three errors that can compromise differential pressure measurement

Incorrectly vented or drained impulse lines

Gas trapped in liquid lines or condensate in gas/steam lines can cause errors and instability.

Transmitter position unsuitable for the process

Select elevation and orientation relative to pressure taps for the liquid, gas or steam service.

Incorrect manifold operation

Incorrect equalisation, pressurisation or depressurisation sequences can expose the sensor to undesirable conditions.

P-300

Diagnostics, materials and demanding applications

Advanced digital diagnosticsDigital diagnostics and QR codes for faster analysis and troubleshooting.

Optional BluetoothAn option on the P-300 platform to simplify configuration and access to device information.

H-ShieldAvailable for applications where hydrogen permeation is a design concern.

Advanced materialsPDS300 offers Hastelloy. For additional special materials, we assess PDS500.

Do you need pressure and temperature compensation for flow?
For DP flow requiring differential pressure, absolute pressure, Pt100 and integrated calculation, consider multivariable transmitters.

Materials

When materials change the platform choice

Hastelloy

Hastelloy may be available on PDS300, so requesting it alone does not require moving to PDS500.

Other special materials

Where required diaphragm or wetted materials are unavailable on PDS300, we assess PDS500.

The model alone, such as 264DS, is insufficient to identify an equivalent configuration.

Please provide the full model code — for example: 266DSH.E.S.S.B.2.B.1.V2.E1.L1.C1.H3 — or the serial number, or a clear nameplate photograph showing both.

Technical FAQ
