Pressure Transmitters Selection

The Pressure Transmitters Selection Guide includes selection criteria, supplier profiles, and strategies to help process manufacturing organizations select the correct pressure transmitters and supplier for their unique operations and business requirements.

Pressure Transmitters Selection Overview

The scope of the selection guide covers the functions of pressure transmitters including applications suitable for real-time pressure measurements, communications with systems, and networks.  The guide allows those involved in a pressure transmitter and other field transmitter devices selection process to make timely and fact-based decisions.

Pressure transmitters have been a mainstay of process production and manufacturing for decades.  The evolution trend for these devices is primarily in the accuracy and support information that is now available in these devices.  Support information includes the health of the transmitter as well as other conditions to ensure that the signal is accurately portraying the condition found in the operating processes.  This trend is gaining momentum by technological developments that make information available to more than just the control or monitoring function that pressure transmitters have traditionally been connected.

Selecting accurate and reliable pressure transmitters is critical.  The total process measurement solution has become complex and functionality involves the combination of an expanded range of capabilities and specific technology requirements.  While product plays a major role, suppliers have specific domain expertise, geographical presence, and knowledge of certain industry dynamics.  These must all be evaluated in a supplier selection process.
