Overview
Quick-release clamp-on seals, to DIN 11851 with threaded socket
Quick-release clamp-on seals, with clamp connection
Quick-release clamp-on seals for pressure are available for the
following SITRANS P pressure transmitter series:
• P300
• DS III
• DS III PA
• DS III FF
■
Application
The quick-release clamp-on seal is a special design for flowing
media and high-viscosity media. Since it is completely inte-
grated in the process pipe, no turbulences, dead volumes or
other obstructions to the flow occur. The measured medium
flows unhindered through the clamp-on seal and results in self-
cleaning of the measuring chamber. Furthermore, the clamp-on
seal can be cleaned by a pig.
■
Design
The quick-release clamp is available in two versions:
• DIN 11851 with threaded socket
• Clamp connection
The clamp-on seal is connected to the pressure transmitter ei-
ther directly or by way of a capillary.

SITRANS P measuring instruments for pressure
■
Function
The measured pressure is transferred from the diaphragm,
mounted on the inner circumference of the clamp-on seal, to the
filling liquid and then passes through the capillary to the measur-
ing chamber of the pressure transmitter. The interior of the
clamp-on seal and of the capillary, as well as the measuring
chamber of the pressure transmitter, are filled gas-free by the fill-
ing liquid.
Note:
When operating in the low-pressure range, also during commis-
sioning, it is recommended to use a vacuum-proof pressure
transmitter (see Selection and Ordering data).
