Readers’ award for differential pressure transmitter

Pressure is a critical measurement parameter for ensuring the quality of chemical reaction processes. In the chemical processing, oil & gas and power plant industries, the pressure in vessels and pipes is also an important factor in safety. Since the potential of Industry 4.0 cannot be fully exploited until safety is guaranteed, this creates additional demand for proof tests.

Sensors are of central importance here because they must be able to reliably capture and link process data and forward it to higher levels, a critical factor for improved and efficient process control.

The PMD75B differential pressure transmitter belongs to the new generation of Deltabar instruments. The PMD75B boasts a robust design and can be operated with the Endress+Hauser SmartBlue app via a secure Bluetooth connection.

This feature is especially useful when the instrument is installed in areas of the plant that are difficult to access. Heartbeat technology provides verification and monitoring functions for detecting process irregularities such as clogged impulse lines. The smart safety approach avoids human error and enhances process safety and productivity.

The annual Engineers’ Choice Awards from the US industry magazine Control Engineering highlight some of the best new control, instrumentation and automation products in 19 categories as chosen by the publication’s print and online subscribers. As evaluation criteria, subscribers are asked to select products based on technological advancement, service to the industry and market impact.
