Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Pressure Controller

Definition
A pressure controller is an industrial instrument used in chemical manufacturing to automatically adjust and stabilize pressure in fluid systems. It compares actual pressure measurements against a predetermined setpoint and makes corrective adjustments through control valves or actuators. This ensures consistent pressure levels for optimal process performance, safety, and efficiency. The device operates on a closed-loop feedback principle: a pressure sensor continuously measures the system pressure and sends the signal to a controller unit. The controller compares the measured value with the user-defined setpoint. If there is a deviation, it calculates an error signal and commands an actuator to adjust flow or pressure accordingly. This cycle repeats continuously to maintain stable conditions. The controller is available with materials such as stainless steel, brass, and aluminum alloy. Key parameters include a pressure range of 0.1–1.6 bar, accuracy of ±0.5% FS, response time under 100 seconds, operating temperature from -20 to 85 °C, media compatibility with 304/316L stainless steel, supply voltage of 24 V DC (±10%), output signal of 4–20 mA, process connection G1/2 BSPP (ISO 228-1), enclosure rating IP65 (IEC 60529), and approximate weight of 1.2 kg. These values are reference ranges and must be verified for the specific model and application with the legal manufacturer or supplier. The controller is designed for use in chemical processes where precise pressure control is critical. It is not a standalone safety device; proper installation, calibration, and maintenance are required. Always consult the manufacturer's documentation for detailed specifications and installation guidelines.
Working Principle
The pressure controller uses a closed-loop feedback system. A pressure sensor continuously measures the actual pressure and sends the signal to a controller. The controller compares this value to the setpoint. If there is a deviation, it calculates an error signal and sends a command to an actuator, typically a control valve, to adjust flow or pressure. This process repeats continuously to maintain stable pressure conditions.
