Rosemount Pressure Transmitter
Product Overview
A Rosemount pressure transmitter measures process pressure and converts the measurement into an standardized output signal for process monitoring, control, and instrumentation systems.
- Depending on the model, Rosemount transmitters can be configured for:
- Differential pressure measurement
- Gauge pressure measurement
- Absolute pressure measurement
- Differential-pressure-based flow measurement
- Differential-pressure-based level measurement
The appropriate transmitter configuration depends on the required pressure range, measurement type, process medium, operating temperature, process connection, wetted materials, output signal, communication protocol, and installation arrangement.
Working Principle & Configuration
A pressure transmitter uses a sensing element to detect process pressure and converts the measured pressure into an electrical output. In a typical 4-20 mA HART configuration, the analog current represents the measured process variable while digital communication provides additional device information, configuration data, and diagnostic details.

Municipal water pipelines, pump stations, filter monitoring, and equipment protection.
OEM & Skid Systems
Engineered as core instrumentation for packaged skids, matching specific space, connection, and control architectures.
Procuring branded industrial instrumentation requires rigorous verification to ensure operational safety and project compliance:
Model & Ordering-Code Verification: Cross-check the requested model and ordering code against technical sheets or legacy equipment before order confirmation.
Configuration Audit: Validate measurement type, sensor range, output protocol, wetted materials, manifolds, and remote seals.
Nameplate Identification
For replacement orders, provide an existing nameplate photo or complete model code to guarantee an exact configuration match.
Documentation & Certification
Project-specific documents can include calibration certificates, certificates of conformity, material traceability (e.g., EN 10204 3.1), approval certificates, and inspection records. (Must be requested at quotation stage).
Supply Traceability
As a trusted supplier or channel partner, we provide clear product identification and reference official Emerson/Rosemount manufacturing specifications to ensure full transparency.
Product Selection & Configuration Workflow
To streamline your inquiry and ensure technical accuracy, follow this 7-step selection guide:
Step 1 - Define the Measurement Type: Specify differential, gauge, absolute, level, or flow.
Step 2 - Define the Pressure Range: Provide normal operating pressure, min/max limits, required span, and static pressure (for DP).
Step 3 - Check Process Conditions: Confirm medium, operating/ambient temperatures, corrosiveness, viscosity, solids, and vacuum conditions.
Step 4 - Select Process Connections & Wetted Materials: Match existing piping, flange standards, and corrosive-resistant alloy requirements.
Step 5 - Match the Control-System Interface: Confirm protocol compatibility (HART, Fieldbus, PROFIBUS) with your DCS, PLC, or SCADA host.
Step 6 - Confirm Approvals and Documentation: Specify hazardous-area ratings (ATEX/IECEx/FM), safety requirements, and calibration certificates.
Step 7 - Submit Complete RFQ Information: Send your parameters for a rapid, precise technical review.
