Measurement and control of physical parameters such as pressure and temperature are among the vital parts in the safe and efficient working of the processes. The pressure measurement and control is carried out using various devices such as pressure transmitters, pressure, and electronic pressure sensors, among others. The pressure transmitters consist of a pressure sensor that takes the pressure reading and converts it into a measurable analog electrical signal.
The pressure transmitter contains a diaphragm that deflects when the pressure is applied, and the deflection of the diaphragm causes strain, which produces an electrical resistance which is proportional to the pressure change. The pressure transmitters provide analog as well as digital signals, and have compatibility with a wide range of gases and liquids, and are available in wireless configurations as well.
Based on type, the pressure transmitters market is classified as absolute, gauge, differential pressure, and multivariable, among others. The absolute pressure transmitters are used in the applications where the atmospheric pressure doesn’t affect the pressure inside the vessel or process. The absolute pressure transmitters are generally used for the vacuum distillation columns. The gauge pressure transmitters are vented to the atmospheric pressure instead of the absolute vacuum.
The gauge pressure transmitters are replacing the use of the pressure transducers, switches, and gauges used in the market. The differential pressure transmitters measure the pressure differences in the flow and level of the fluid. The multivariable pressure transmitters are used for the measurement of two or more variables such as temperature, pressure, and flow. By end-use, the pressure transmitter market is segmented ,as oil &gas, chemicals, power generation, food &beverage, water &wastewater, metal &mining, pulp &paper, and pharmaceutical, among others.
The pressure transmitters are widely used across industries for various applications. Oil &gas industry is the major consumer of pressure transmitters for measurement and controlling operation while drilling, mud pumping, cementing, well stimulation, and coiled tubing. The pressure transmitters have applications in the construction industry for the construction machinery and HVAC system. The Growth of the construction industry is thus expected to augment the growth of the pressure transmitter market during the forecast period.
There are alternative products such as ultrasonic and coriolis flow meters available for the differential pressure transmitters. The availability of alternative products with better reliability as compared to the differential pressure transmitter is expected to have a negative impact on the growth of the pressure transmitter market.
