Process Efficiency
variation of pressure below or above a set-point will result in scrap rather than useable product in some manufacturing process
Cost Saving
preventing unnecessary expense of creating more pressure or vacuum than is required saves money

Liquid & Gas Pressures

LIQUIDS The pressure exerted by a liquid is influenced by 3 main factors. 1. 2. 3. The height of the liquid. The density of the liquid. The pressure on the surface of the liquid.
GASES The pressure exerted by a gas is influenced by 2 main factors. 1. 2. Volume of the gas container. Temperature of the gas

Pressure terminology
Measurable Pressures The four most common types of measurable pressures used in the process control industries are: 1. Head Pressure or Hydrostatic Pressure.
Pressure exerted by a column of liquid in a tank open to atmosphere, HEAD PRESSURE = HEIGHT x DENSITY 2. Static Pressure, Line Pressure, or Working pressure Pressure exerted in a closed system 3. Vapor Pressure The temperature at which a liquid boils, or turns into a vapor varies depending on the pressure. The higher the pressure, the higher the boiling point. 4. Vacuum Absolute pressure below atmospheric pressure ( a compound range gage transmitter will read a negative pressure)

Level 1 - Pressure 1
The hydrostatic pressure exerted by the column of liquid depends on the S.G. (or density) of the liquid and its vertical height. Density of liquid Average cross-section area of vessel Vertical height of liquid Volume of liquid, V Total weight of liquid, M Pressure at the bottom of liquid =D =A =H =H x A =D x V =D x A x H = weight of liquid cross-section area = (D x A x H) / A = D x H
