Differential pressure cells measure the pressure difference between two points and send a differential pressure reading to the plant control system. Typically, DP cells are rated in inches of water equivalent. Standard ranges include 0 to 20, 0 to 50, 0 to 100, 0 to 200, and 0 to 500 inches of water differential pressure. The control system converts the DP cell reading into a liquid level based on an assumed specific gravity inside the vessel. Levels based on DP cells can err for different reasons. Previous columns have covered many reasons DP cells or sight glasses can give false readings. This column covers some case histories of specific DP cell problems UR - http://www.distillationgroup.com/technical/p095.htm ER -
