3151GP Pressure Transmitter Overview

The 3151GP pressure transmitter is an intelligent field instrument used to measure gauge pressure in industrial process systems. It can be applied to liquid, gas, and steam pressure measurement, converting the measured pressure into a standard 4–20 mA DC signal with HART communication.

The transmitter supports both local operation and remote configuration. Users can adjust zero point, span, engineering unit, damping time, alarm function, output current calibration, and other parameters through local configuration buttons, a HART handheld communicator, or an upper-level control system.

Compared with basic pressure sensors, the 3151GP is designed for industrial applications where measurement stability, field display, remote communication, fault diagnostics, and easy maintenance are important.


4–20 mA HART Gauge Pressure Transmitter Output

The 3151GP smart pressure transmitter provides standard output signals for process control systems.

Output TypeDescription
4–20 mA DC + HARTAnalog pressure output with digital communication for configuration and diagnostics
EPA / FF / PROFIBUS PAOptional full digital fieldbus communication for pressure, temperature, and percentage range data

For most industrial pressure measurement loops, 4–20 mA with HART is the most commonly used option. It allows the transmitter to provide a reliable analog signal to the PLC or DCS while still supporting remote setup and diagnostics.


Key Features of the 3151GP Smart Pressure Transmitter

Wide Gauge Pressure Measuring Range

The 3151GP covers a broad pressure range from 0–0.15 kPa to 42 MPa, depending on the selected sensor range. This makes it suitable for low-pressure, medium-pressure, and high-pressure industrial applications.

Compact, Rugged, and Anti-Vibration Design

The transmitter has a compact and strong field structure. It is suitable for industrial sites where vibration, mechanical stress, and harsh installation environments may be present.

Local Zero and Span Adjustment

The transmitter housing provides local zero and span adjustment functions, making field calibration and commissioning easier.

Non-Contact Local Configuration Buttons

The housing is designed with local configuration buttons for zero adjustment, span adjustment, and LCD display parameter setting. This allows operators to perform basic field configuration without opening the housing in many situations, depending on the actual model structure.

LCD Multi-Parameter Display

The local LCD display can show multiple field parameters, including:

  • measured pressure value
  • analog output current
  • percentage of configured range
  • sensor body and contacted medium temperature

This helps operators check transmitter status directly in the field.

Adjustable Damping

The damping time can be adjusted according to process conditions. This helps stabilize the output signal when pressure fluctuates.

Modular Electronics

The transmitter uses solid plug-in printed circuit boards and a modular structure. This design supports easier troubleshooting, reduces spare parts inventory, and improves maintenance convenience.

Anti-Interference Protection

Independent electromagnetic interference protection circuits and software anti-interference design help improve reliability in industrial environments with motors, inverters, electrical noise, and long signal cables.

Temperature Compensation

The transmitter includes an internal temperature sensor that helps improve compensation for ambient and process temperature influence. It can also provide temperature information related to the sensor body and contacted medium.

316L Stainless Steel Wetted Parts

The wetted parts are made from 316L stainless steel, suitable for many common liquids, gases, and steam applications. For corrosive media, material compatibility should be confirmed before selection.

Gauge Pressure Measurement Range of 3151GP Smart Transmitter

The 3151GP gauge pressure transmitter is mainly used for pressure measurement relative to atmospheric pressure. The typical measuring range is:

Measurement TypeRange
Gauge Pressure0–0.15 kPa to 42 MPa

This range makes the 3151GP suitable for applications such as:

  • pipeline pressure
  • pump discharge pressure
  • tank pressure
  • compressed air pressure
  • hydraulic pressure
  • steam pressure
  • gas system pressure
  • process equipment pressure

Although the 3151 series platform may include differential pressure and absolute pressure versions, the 3151GP should be mainly positioned as a gauge pressure transmitter page.


Local Display and Configuration for Industrial Pressure Measurement

The 3151GP pressure transmitter is designed for convenient field operation. The local display and configuration functions allow users to check important operating data and perform basic adjustments at the instrument.

Display / Setting ItemFunction
Measured PressureShows real-time process pressure
Output CurrentShows 4–20 mA analog output value
Percentage RangeShows pressure as percentage of configured range
Sensor / Medium TemperatureShows temperature information near the sensor
Zero AdjustmentUsed for local zero point correction
Span AdjustmentUsed for measuring range setting
Damping SettingUsed to smooth output under fluctuating pressure
Unit SettingUsed to select engineering unit according to project requirement

This is useful during commissioning, loop checking, site inspection, and maintenance.


3151GP Pressure Transmitter Structure and Working Principle

The 3151GP pressure transmitter consists of a sensor module and an electronic circuit module.

The sensor section includes:

  • pressure sensing element
  • direct digital capacitive circuit
  • temperature sensor
  • characterization EEPROM

The electronic circuit section includes:

  • microprocessor
  • digital-to-analog converter
  • digital communication circuit
  • memory EEPROM

During operation, process pressure acts on the sensor. The sensor signal is processed by the microprocessor, compensated with stored characterization data and temperature information, and then converted into a 4–20 mA DC output signal with digital communication capability.

In simple terms:

Process Pressure → Sensor Module → Digital Processing → 4–20 mA DC / HART Output
