Siemens SITRANS P200 Pressure Transmitter

The Siemens SITRANS P200 is a compact pressure transmitter for measuring relative and absolute pressure in liquids, gases and vapours. It is designed for general industrial applications and combines robust mechanical construction with reliable pressure measurement technology.

Thanks to its ceramic measuring cell and stainless steel housing, the SITRANS P200 is suitable for both aggressive and non-aggressive media. Its compact design allows installation even where space is limited, while its high overload capability provides additional operational reliability.

• Mechanical engineering
• Shipbuilding
• Energy technology
• Chemical industry
• Water supply
• General process and plant monitoring

Design and versions

The pressure transmitter consists of a piezoresistive measuring cell with ceramic diaphragm, installed in a stainless steel housing. Depending on the version, different electrical connections are available. Without explosion protection, the SITRANS P200 can be supplied with a plug according to EN 175301-803-A, an M12 device connector, a cable or an optional Quickon connector.

For explosion-protected applications, the pressure transmitter is also designed with a ceramic measuring cell and stainless steel housing. In this version, the electrical connection is made via an M12 device connector or cable. The output signal is 4 … 20 mA.

Operating principle

The SITRANS P200 measures pressure using a ceramic diaphragm. The operating pressure acts through the pressure connection opening on the measuring cell. The resulting deformation is detected by a thick-film resistance bridge.

The measuring cell voltage is then fed to the electronics and amplified. Depending on the version, the measuring signal is converted into a 4 … 20 mA, 0 … 10 V or IO-Link output signal. The output signal is linearly proportional to the applied input pressure.

When is the SITRANS P200 a suitable choice?

The SITRANS P200 is particularly suitable when a compact, robust and versatile pressure transmitter is required for standard applications. The combination of stainless steel housing, ceramic measuring cell and different output signals makes it easy to integrate into existing systems and control environments.
