What are the characteristics and working principles of wireless pressure transmitters?

The wireless pressure transmitter is a low-power battery-powered (optionally powered by an external power supply) wireless digital output pressure sensor, which can be equipped with GPRS, LORa, NB-iot and other wireless communication protocols. The wireless pressure sensor can display pressure in real time and upload data, and has the characteristics of high accuracy, ease of use and good stability. The wireless pressure sensor has a built-in MCU and a low-power design, which can realize the wireless transmission function of uploading the pipeline pressure on site to the cloud. It is suitable for fire pipelines, fire terminals, fire pump rooms, smart cities, petrochemicals and remote areas in smart fire protection, which require unattended and remote monitoring.

Working Principle of Wireless Pressure Transmitter


The sensing element of the wireless pressure sensor is a diffused silicon force sensitive device, and the wireless communication uses a GPRS module and a NB-IOT module. The sensitive chip uses integrated circuit technology to make sensitive piezoresistors on a crystalline silicon wafer to form a Wheatstone bridge as a sensitive element for force-to-electricity conversion. When subjected to external force, the bridge loses balance. When a constant current excitation power supply is added to the bridge, the pressure signal can be linearly converted into a millivolt voltage signal, which is then amplified and converted into a digital signal, and then sent to the wireless data receiving end by the wireless module of the wireless pressure sensor.

Pressure Transmitter FAQ

What is a pressure transmitter used for?

A pressure transmitter converts the pressure of liquid, gas or steam into a standard electrical signal for PLC, DCS, recorder or control instrument input. It is widely used for pipeline pressure, tank level, flow measurement and process safety monitoring.

How do I choose the right pressure transmitter?

Confirm the pressure range, pressure type, medium, temperature, output signal, accuracy, installation thread, electrical connection and environmental requirements. For corrosive media, high temperature or sanitary applications, diaphragm material and sealing structure are especially important.

What is the difference between gauge, absolute and differential pressure transmitters?

Gauge pressure transmitters measure pressure relative to atmospheric pressure. Absolute pressure transmitters measure pressure relative to vacuum. Differential pressure transmitters measure the pressure difference between two points and are commonly used for flow, filter and level measurement.

Can Xinyi Instrument provide customized pressure transmitters?

Yes. Xinyi Instrument can support customized pressure ranges, process connections, output signals, cable length, display options and model selection for different industrial applications.
