What is BS 6174 - Differential pressure transmitters about?
BS 6174 is an International Standard that discusses the technical specifications and uses of pressure transmitters.
BS 6174 specifies requirements for DC-powered electrical transmitters with analogue direct current output used in differential pressure measurement.
BS 6174 applies only to transmitters with a linear relationship between differential pressure input and current output for general industrial use.
Note: BS 6174 does not apply to the aerospace, marine, laboratory, and medical requirements.
Who is BS 6174 - Differential pressure transmitters for?
BS 6174 on differential pressure transmitters specification is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of pressure transmitters
- Exporters and traders of pressure transmitters
- Installers of pressure transmitters
- Electrical engineers
- Testing authorities
- Quality assurance personnel
- Regulatory authorities
Why should you use BS 6174 - Differential pressure transmitters?
A pressure transmitter is a measuring transducer whose output is a standardized signal. Pressure transmitters convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.
BS 6174 provides you with the performance and electrical characteristics of pressure transmitters that are in compliance with global standards. BS 6174 assists you in choosing the materials used and the procedure of construction to manufacture the high-quality differential pressure transmitters. BS 6174 provides several test methods and their procedures to be conducted under variations of temperature and specifies the marking on each transmitter.
BS 6174 provides guidance on the methods of differential pressure transmitters with electrical outputs that helps in the critical measurement challenges.
