Product overview

What is the ALL-P-P400?

The ALL-P-P400 from Allpronix is a diffused silicon pressure transmitter for general industrial pressure measurement, with a display on the instrument.

  • 01Diffused silicon sensorA silicon chip with a temperature-compensated Wheatstone bridge, isolated from the process by a 316L diaphragm and oil fill.
  • 02Display on the instrumentThe LCD shows pressure, percentage of range or current, with keys for units, zero and range.
  • 03Current, voltage or RS4852-wire 4 to 20 mA, 1 to 5 V, 0 to 5 V, 0 to 10 V or RS485, to suit the PLC or controller.

Ranges run from vacuum (-100 kPa) up to 60 MPa (600 bar), in gauge, absolute or sealed pressure, with accuracy classes of 0.5%, 0.25% and 0.2%.

Process connections include M20×1.5, G1/2, G1/4, NPT1/4, NPT1/2, M27×2 and M14×1.5, and a condensation bend is available for steam service.

Key features

Key Features of the ALL-P-P400 Pressure Transmitter

01 / 06

Piezoresistive measuring cell

Four diffused resistors on the silicon chip form a Wheatstone bridge. Pressure changes their resistance and the bridge gives a signal proportional to pressure.

The signal is amplified, linearised and temperature compensated.

02 / 06

316L isolating diaphragm

The process only touches the 316L stainless steel diaphragm and the stainless steel thread. Silicone oil carries the pressure to the chip.

03 / 06

Vacuum to 600 bar

Standard ranges from -100 to 0 kPa up to 0 to 60 MPa, for gauge, absolute (30 kPa to 1 MPa) and sealed pressure.

04 / 06

LCD with three keys

The display shows the pressure, percentage of range or mA output, with the board temperature on the second line. 19 pressure and level units can be selected.

Zero and range can be set on the keys.

05 / 06

Output to match the controller

2-wire 4 to 20 mA, 1 to 5 V, 0 to 5 V, 0 to 10 V or RS485, with 4 to 20 mA and RS485 together on the display version.

06 / 06

Fast and stable

Response time of 10 ms or less on current and voltage outputs, and long-term stability of ±0.2% FS per year.

How it works

How does the ALL-P-P400 work?

Step by step:

Pressure on the chip changes the resistance of the four bridge arms, which unbalances the Wheatstone bridge. The electronics amplify that signal, correct it for non-linearity and temperature, and output a current or voltage proportional to the pressure.

Interactive demonstration: process pressure presses on the stainless steel isolating diaphragm of the ALL-P-P400, silicone oil carries it to a silicon chip, the Wheatstone bridge on the chip goes out of balance, and the amplifier turns the millivolt signal into 4 to 20 mAPROCESS PRESSURE316L DIAPHRAGMSILICONE OILSILICON CHIPAMPLIFIERCOMPENSATION4–20 mA0 mVWHEATSTONE BRIDGEOVER RANGEPRESSURE4.0 barRANGE0 to 16 barBRIDGE SIGNAL25 mVOF RANGE25 %OUTPUT8.0 mA4 mA20 mASTEP 01ILLUSTRATIVE, BRIDGE 0 TO 100 mV
RANGE
ALL-P-P400 pressure transmitter: move the pressure, pick a range or click a step to see how the diaphragm, oil fill and silicon bridge turn pressure into a 4 to 20 mA signal. Push past 100 % to see over-range and overload.

FAQ

ALL-P-P400 FAQ

What pressure can the ALL-P-P400 measure?

Gauge, absolute and sealed pressure of liquids, gases and steam, from vacuum (-100 kPa) up to 60 MPa (600 bar) depending on the range ordered.

How accurate is it?

It is available in 0.5%, 0.25% and 0.2% accuracy classes. The 0.25% and 0.2% classes are for ranges of 100 kPa and above.

What outputs are available?

2-wire 4 to 20 mA, 1 to 5 V, 0 to 5 V, 0 to 10 V or RS485. The display version can also give 4 to 20 mA and RS485 together.

Can it be used on steam?

Yes, with a condensation bend (siphon) so that condensate, not live steam, reaches the diaphragm. The medium temperature at the transmitter must stay within -20 to 85 °C.

What happens if the pressure exceeds the range?

The transmitter withstands 150% of full scale on ranges up to 10 MPa and 125% on ranges from 10 to 60 MPa. Choose a range that covers the highest pressure, including spikes.

Is it suitable for hazardous areas?

No. The ALL-P-P400 is for non-hazardous areas. Ask us for an approved transmitter if you need one for a classified area.

Can Proplant PCE help me choose the range?

Yes. Send us the medium, normal and maximum pressure, temperature, connection and output, and we will recommend the range and options.
