3.2 Principle of operation
VEGABAR 52 is a pressure transmitter for use in the paper, food
processing and pharmaceutical industries as well as in water/sewage
water plants. Depending on the version, it is used for level, gauge,
absolute pressure or vacuum measurement. Measured products are
gases, vapours and liquids, also those containing abrasive sub-
stances.
Sensor element is the CERTEC ® measuring cell with robust, depend-
ent on the process fitting also front-flush, abrasion-resistant ceramic
diaphragm. The process pressure causes a capacitance change in
the measuring cell via the ceramic diaphragm. This change is con-
verted into an appropriate output signal and outputted as measured
value.
The CERTEC
® measuring cell is also equipped with a temperature
sensor. The temperature value can be displayed via the display and
adjustment module as well as processed via the signal output (with
digital versions).
As a standard feature, the CERTEC ® measuring cell is equipped with
a lateral, recessed seal.
