The implemented filling oil also influences the TK

zero point

, the permis-

sible ambient temperature and the step response time of a chemical

seal. See also chapter "Influence of the temperature to the zero point"

and "Step response time".

The differential pressure transmitter also influences the temperature

application range, the TK

zero point

and the step response time of the iso-

lating system through the volume of its lateral flanges and its control

volume.

3.2 Influence of temperature changes

The filling oil expands as the temperature increases. The additional

volume presses on the chemical seal. The more rigid the diaphragm,

the more it counteracts a volume change. The additional volume also

adds to the process pressure on the measuring cell and thus shifts

the zero point. The respective temperature coefficient "TK

Process

" is

listed in chapter "Dimensions and weights".

The following diagram shows the temperature coefficient depending

on the capillary length. The process temperature corresponds to the

calibration temperature. The temperature coefficients determined

from the diagram apply to silicone oil and the diaphragm material

316L. For other filling oil, these temperature coefficients have to be

multiplied with the correction factor for the TK of the respective filling

oil.

The control volume is the volume that must be shifted in order to utilise the

complete measuring range.
