WIKA Operating Instructions - Dierential pressure transmitter DPT-20
3.2 Principle of operation
DPT-20 is suitable universally for applications in virtually all industries.
It is used for the measurement of the following pressure types:
• Dierential pressure
• Static pressure
Measured products are gases, vapours and liquids.
The dierential pressure measurement enables the measurement of:
• Level
• Flow
• Dierential pressure
• Density
• Interface
The instrument is suitable for level measurement in closed, superim-
posed pressure vessels. The static pressure is compensated by dier-
ential pressure measurement. It is available as a separate measured
value for digital signal outputs.
Fig. 2: Level measurement with DPT-20 in a pressurized vessel
The ow measurement is carried out via an eective pressure trans-
mitter, such as an orice plate or pitot tube. The device records the
resulting pressure dierence and converts the measured value into
the ow. With digital signal outputs, the static pressure is available as
a separate measured value.

3 Product description
WIKA Operating Instructions - Dierential pressure transmitter DPT-20
A metallic measuring cell is used as sensor element. The process
pressures are transmitted via the separating diaphragms and lling
oils to a piezoresistive sensor element (resistance measuring bridge
using semiconductor technology).
The dierence between the acting pressures changes the bridge volt-
age. This change is measured, further processed and converted into
a corresponding output signal.
When measurement limits are exceeded, an overload system protects
the sensor element against damage.
In addition, the measuring cell temperature and the static pressure
are measured on the low pressure side. The measuring signals are
further processed and are available as additional output signals.

3.3 Supplementary cleaning procedures
The DPT-20 is also available in the version " Oil, grease and silicone-
free". These instruments have passed through a special cleaning
procedure to remove oil, grease and paint-wetting impairment sub-
stances (PWIS).
The cleaning is carried out on all wetted parts as well as on surfaces
accessible from outside. To keep the purity level, the instruments are
immediately packed in plastic foil after the cleaning process. The
purity level remains as long as the instrument is kept in the closed
original packaging.
Caution:
The DPT-20 in this version may not be used in oxygen applications.
For this purpose, instruments are available in the special version " Oil,
grease and silicone-free for oxygen applications".

4.1 General instructions
Note:
For safety reasons, the instrument must only be operated within the
permissible process conditions. You can nd detailed information on
the process conditions in chapter " Technical data" of the operating
instructions or on the type label.
Hence make sure before mounting that all parts of the instrument ex-
posed to the process are suitable for the existing process conditions.
These are mainly:
• Active measuring component
• Process tting
• Process seal
Process conditions in particular are:
• Process pressure
• Process temperature
• Chemical properties of the medium
• Abrasion and mechanical inuences
The permissible process pressure range is specied on the type label
with "MWP" (Maximum Working Pressure), see chapter " Congura-
tion". This specication refers to a reference temperature of +25 °C
(+76 °F). The MWP may also be permanently applied on one side.
In order to prevent damage to the device, a test pressure acting on
both sides may only exceed the specied MWP briey by 1.5 times
at reference temperature. The pressure stage of the process tting as
well as the overload resistance of the measuring cell are taken into
consideration here (see chapter " Technical Data").
In addition, a temperature derating of the process tting, e. g. with
ange isolating diaphragms, can limit the permissible process pres-
sure range according to the respective standard.
Protect your instrument against moisture ingress through the following
measures:
• Use a suitable connection cable (see chapter " Connecting to
power supply")
• Tighten the cable gland or plug connector
• Lead the connection cable downward in front of the cable entry or
plug connector
This applies mainly to outdoor installations, in areas where high
humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) and on cooled
or heated vessels.
Note:
Make sure that during installation or maintenance no moisture or dirt
can get inside the instrument.

To maintain the housing protection, make sure that the housing lid is
closed during operation and locked, if necessary.
The ventilation for the electronics housing is realised via a lter ele-
ment in the vicinity of the cable glands.

Information:
Make sure that the lter element is always free of buildup during op-
eration. A high-pressure cleaner may not be used for cleaning.
For better readability of the display or access to the wiring, the elec-
tronics housing can be rotated by 330°. A stop prevents the housing
from being turned too far.
Depending on the version and housing material, the locking screw on
the neck of the housing must be slightly loosened. The housing can
then be turned to the correct position. As soon as the requested posi-
tion is reached, tighten the locking screw.
It is recommended to protect the device at the application site against
lateral forces, e.g. vibrations, by means of a suitable measuring instru-
ment holder. This applies especially for device versions with a plastic
process connection, e.g. with G½ thread.
If there is strong vibration at the mounting location, the instrument
version with external housing should be used. See chapter " External
housing".

Higher process temperatures often mean also higher ambient
temperatures. Make sure that the upper temperature limits stated in
chapter " Technical data" for the environment of the electronics hous-
ing and connection cable are not exceeded.
4.2 Instructions for oxygen applications
Oxygen and other gases can be explosive when brought into contact
with oils, grease and plastics, so the following measures must also be
taken:
• All components of the system, e.g. measuring instruments, must
be cleaned in accordance with the requirements of recognized
regulations or standards
• Depending on the seal material, certain temperatures and pres-
sures must not be exceeded in oxygen applications, see chapter "
Technical data"
Danger:
Instruments for oxygen applications must be unpacked just before
mounting. After removing the protective cover of the process tting,
the label "O2" will be visible on the process tting. Penetration of oil,
grease and dirt should be avoided. Danger of explosion!
4.3 Connection to the process
DP ow elements are installations in pipelines which generate a
ow-dependent pressure drop. The ow rate is measured via this dif-
ferential pressure. Typical DP ow elements are Venturi tubes, orice
plates or impact pressure probes.
Instructions for mounting the DP ow elements are stated in the ap-
propriate standards as well as in the documentation from the respec-
tive manufacturer.
Eective pressure lines are pipelines with a small diameter. They are
used to connect the dierential pressure transmitter to the pressure
tapping point or the DP ow element.
Principles
Eective pressure lines for gases must always remain completely dry
and no condensate must collect. Eective pressure lines for liquids
must always be completely lled and must not contain any gas bub-
bles. Therefore, suitable venting systems must be provided for liquids
and suitable drainage systems for gases.
Wiring
Eective pressure lines must always run with a sucient, strictly mo-
notonous slope/gradient of at least 2 %, but better up to 10 %.
Recommendations for wiring of eective pressure lines are stated in
the corresponding national and international standards.
Connection
Eective pressure lines are connected to the device via standard cut-
ting ring screw connections with suitable thread.
