What is a Steam Pressure Sensor? How Does it Work?

CN Boiler

Steam pressure transducer play an important role in industrial production and can help improve production efficiency and safety. Steam pressure sensors have a wide range of applications, including monitoring and control of steam equipment such as boilers and heaters. Let’s explore some information about steam pressure sensors.


 

What is a Steam Pressure Transducer?

A steam pressure transducer is a device used to measure steam pressure by converting it into an electrical signal that can be recognized by an instrument or control system.

 

How Does a Steam Pressure Transducer Work?

The working principle of the steam pressure transducer is to use physical principles to convert steam pressure into an electrical signal.

Common physical principles include:

• Piezoresistive: Utilizes the principle that the resistance of a piezoresistor changes with pressure changes.

• Capacitive type: Based on the principle that the capacity of a capacitor changes with changes in pressure.

• Strain gauge: utilizes the principle that the strain of the strain gauge changes with the change of pressure..

So what are their specific details? Let's take a look


 

A piezoresistor is a device made of semiconductor material whose resistance changes with pressure. In a steam pressure transmitter, a piezoresistor is installed in a sensor element. The steam pressure acts on the sensor element, causing the resistance of the piezoresistor to change. This changing resistance is converted into an electrical signal and output to an instrument or control system.

A capacitor is a device composed of two conductors separated by a dielectric. Its capacity is related to the dielectric constant of the dielectric, the area and spacing of the electrodes. In a steam pressure transmitter, a capacitor is mounted in a sensor element, and steam pressure acts on the sensor element, causing a change in the capacitor's capacity. This changing capacity is converted into an electrical signal and output to an instrument or control system.

Applications of Steam Pressure Sensors

Steam pressure sensors are used in the following scenarios in industrial production:

• Monitoring and control of steam equipment such as boilers and heaters: Steam pressure sensors can be used to control the fuel supply to the boiler to ensure that the boiler operates within a safe pressure range.

• Pressure monitoring of steam piping systems: Steam pressure sensors can be used to control the fuel supply to the boiler to ensure that the boiler is operating within a safe pressure range.

• Steam leak detection: Steam pressure sensors can be used to control the fuel supply to the boiler to ensure that the boiler is operating within a safe pressure range.
