Everything matters in marketing. The needs and wants of users from Energy, Buildings, and Industrial domains show similar trends. Though they differ in the business landscape, all users are looking to add flexibility to their systems. Especially during challenging economic conditions.

Since the end of 2015 I am learning, “Foxboro by Schneider Electric” field devices. Field devices significantly contribute to the measurement and safety of a process and discrete industries. Field devices convert parameters like pressure, temperature, flow, and level to electrical signals. Furthermore, they transmit signals to controllers. Controllers use the information to monitor and control processes. There are a number of industries where field devices are used including nuclear, oil & gas, refineries, power, buildings, water, food & beverages and others. Field devices are in the “field” participating in the actual process.

Pressure transmitters are one of the most common type of field device. Applications of pressure transmitters range from basic measurements such as absolute and gauge. The flow and level measurement using differential as well as hydrostatic principles. Pressure transmitters are also common in other high-end applications.

Flexibility is the ability to react to change. During interaction with users, few described the challenge they have in managing rigidity in the process measurement. Interestingly, an Engineering Procurement and Construction Manger (EPC) explained how one of its projects came under stress due to change in process measurement during project implementation phase.

Here are 3 easy steps which consultants, engineering & process maintenance teams can keep in mind to add flexibility to their process pressure measurement systems. The pressure transmitter shal...
