Absolute Pressure

Absolute pressure (AP) transmitters measure relative to perfect (full) vacuum pressure (absolute zero pressure); therefore, AP transmitters are not affected by fluctuations in the local atmospheric pressure. All absolute pressure measurements are positive. The letter ‘a’ or the abbreviation ‘abs’ in the unit of measure (i.e., inH₂O(abs) or psia) indicates an absolute pressure measurement.

Yokogawa absolute pressure transmitters use digital DPharp sensor technology to get accurate, reliable readings to you quickly.

What is Absolute Pressure?

Measured in PSIA, (pounds per square inch absolute) absolute pressure refers to pressure detected in relation to a vacuum, a.k.a. absolute zero pressure. That's how absolute pressure transmitters relate to vacuum transmitters.

Industrial Applications of Absolute Pressure Devices

Pipe, tank, and substance pressure measurement and regulation:

Food and beverage
Lab
Industrial

Benefits of Absolute Pressure Devices

Process and loop monitoring for open tanks and vessels

Example Industrial Application: Any critical storage and delivery application (i.e., toxic gases) Because atmospheric conditions can fluctuate, it is imperative that these systems be accurate and use a reference that is static.
