In the wave of intelligent transformation of petroleum industry, single flange capillary pressure transmitter, with its high precision, high stability and strong anti-interference ability, is becoming the key monitoring equipment in petroleum exploitation, storage and transportation and refining process, to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the industry.
The single-flange capillary pressure transmitter features a one-sided flange installation with remote transmission design. It transmits pressure signals through an oil-filled capillary tube, effectively isolating the sensor from direct damage caused by high temperatures, high pressures, corrosive substances, or viscous media. Compared to traditional dual-flange transmitters, this design offers a more compact structure and easier installation/maintenance, making it particularly suitable for harsh operating conditions such as heavy oil extraction, high-sulfur gas fields, desert environments, and extreme cold regions.
In oilfield operations, this equipment monitors wellhead pressure and pipeline flow in real time to optimize pumping unit efficiency. During crude oil storage and transportation, it precisely measures tank levels and pipeline pressure to prevent overpressure or leakage incidents. In refining processes, it controls pressure in critical equipment like reactors and distillation columns, ensuring safe and stable production processes.
After implementing single-flange capillary pressure transmitters, an oil production plant has effectively resolved clogging issues caused by high wax content in crude oil, which were previously common with traditional sensors. This innovation has shortened equipment maintenance cycles and reduced annual maintenance costs. Experts commented: "The isolated measurement capability of these transmitters makes them particularly suitable for the complex operating conditions prevalent in most domestic oil fields, serving as crucial equipment to enhance automation levels in the industry."
In the future, we will further increase the application of intelligent sensing technology. As a key monitoring equipment, single flange capillary pressure transmitter will play a more important role in energy saving, safety operation and digital transformation.
