Industrial Transmitters

What is a Pressure Transmitter?

A pressure transmitter is a device used to measure the pressure of gases or liquids and convert that pressure into an electrical signal that can be read and interpreted by control systems or monitoring equipment. These devices are commonly used in industrial applications such as process control, automation, and fluid monitoring.

Activites include:
  • Sensing Pressure: It detects pressure using a sensor element (like a piezoresistive or capacitive sensor).
  • Signal Conversion: Converts the mechanical pressure into a standardized electrical output (e.g., 4–20 mA, 0–10 V).
  • Output Transmission: Sends the signal to a control system (like a PLC or DCS) for monitoring or control.
WIKA E-10 and E-11 are explosion-proof pressure transmitters designed for demanding industrial applications, especially in the oil and gas sector. 
  • Explosion-proof: Certified for hazardous areas (FM, CSA, ATEX)
  • Output Signals: 4–20 mA (2-wire) or 1–5 V (3-wire low power)
  • Ingress Protection: IP67 / NEMA 4X
  • Accuracy: ≤ 0.25% full scale
