Telemecanique Pressure Sensors-Transmitters
Pressure sensors and transmitters from Telemecanique are made for reliable and precise monitoring in many places. You can find them in equipment for industrial automation, fluid control, and many other things where not only pressure but also flow, level, and temperature must be monitored with high precision and stability. There are a few key features that make Telemecanique sensors attractive, particularly in the context of engineering challenges that one often encounters while working on the pressure measurement side of things.
First, Telemecanique pressure sensors are constructed durably and interface intuitively with whatever system you happen to be integrating them into, regardless of whether that system is a pressure control system, a factory automation system, or something else. They have all sorts of seals to make them impervious to dust, moisture, or even full-on Submersion in water—an IP67 rating. Also, the sensors can take a beating in terms of rough and tumble use at a site and still deliver great and dependable response times.

Select based on pressure range, media compatibility, electrical output, process connection, and required accuracy for your specific industrial application.
Instrumentation: Elements & Transmitters
2 pieces of hardware used in modern day instrumentation: measuring elements and transmitters.
Measuring Elements
Measuring elements are the part of the device that performs the measurement. For example, the measuring element of a pressure transducer is the part that is actually lowered into a tank that will take a pressure measurement. The measuring element of a flow meter is the part that actually measures the flow and an RTD or thermocouple takes the temperature measurement.
Transmitters
Transmitters collect information from measuring elements and sends the information to where it is needed. The transmitter interfaces with the measuring element and interprets the information. It then sends that information to a PLC, RTU or some other type of control unit. In many cases, the transmitter has the ability to communicate the information via multiple communication protocols. This may be necessary when the measuring element does not send the same type of signal that is needed by the controller. For example, it may be necessary to convert a temperature reading from a thermocouple to a 420 milliamp signal that can be received by a local PLC.
