In environments such as molten metal, petrochemicals, or nuclear industries, the Chaohui high-temperature melt pressure transmitter is the core component for measuring key parameters. Its weakest and most important component is the diaphragm - it directly withstands high pressure, high temperature, and strong corrosive media, and is the "first line of defense" of the entire sensing system.
1. What is a high-temperature melt pressure transmitter? Why is the membrane so important?
Working principle: The diaphragm is located in front of the measuring chamber (or "gas chamber"), and when a medium (such as molten metal, petroleum liquid, or steam containing acid or alkali) is pressed on it, the diaphragm undergoes deformation. This deformation is converted into an electrical signal to achieve pressure measurement.
Challenge:
High temperature (>300 ° C, sometimes up to 800-1000 ° C).
High pressure (1030 MPa or higher).
Strong corrosive media (sulfur-containing, chloride, acid-base, etc.).
Mechanical fatigue: Prolonged cyclic loading leading to membrane cracking or failure.
Therefore, the material selection of the diaphragm determines whether the sensor can work stably for a long time.

main points: | |||
Strength vs. Elongation: The membrane needs to be able to withstand high pressure without being brittle due to being too hard. | |||
Corrosion resistance: C276 performs best in sulfur-containing or chloride containing melts. | |||
Maximum temperature: If the operating temperature exceeds 400 ° C, 174PH/155PH will lose structural integrity. | |||
3Dimensions and Geometry:
The thickness of the membrane is generally 0.5-3mm; too thin is prone to breakage, while too thick reduces sensitivity.
The surface should be smooth and free of notches to avoid localized stress concentration.
4. Installation:
Ensure the matching between the sealing ring and the pressure plate; Poor contact can lead to air leakage and measurement errors.
Regularly inspect welds or bolt connections to prevent loosening under high temperatures.
5. Installation and maintenance: tight coordination, regular inspection, and prevention of corrosion.
As long as the above five key links are strictly controlled during the selection stage, the diaphragm of the high-temperature melt pressure transmitter can work stably in harsh environments for a long time, avoiding expensive downtime and maintenance costs.
Remember: the diaphragm is the weakest but most important component in the measurement system; The choice of materials directly determines whether the sensor can withstand wind and rain.
