Threaded Direct Mount Pressure Transmitter Overview

The threaded direct mount pressure transmitter is used to measure process pressure and convert it into a standard electrical signal for PLC, DCS, or other control systems. Compared with flange-mounted or remote seal transmitters, this type has a simpler structure and is directly connected to the process through a threaded pressure port.

It is suitable for common industrial pressure measurement applications where the medium is relatively clean and can be directly introduced to the transmitter process connection.

Typical applications include:

  • pipeline pressure monitoring
  • pump outlet pressure measurement
  • tank pressure measurement
  • compressed air pressure
  • water and oil pressure
  • gas pressure monitoring
  • steam pressure measurement with proper cooling protection
  • hydraulic and pneumatic systems

For applications involving corrosive, viscous, crystallizing, or easy-to-block media, diaphragm seal pressure transmitters or flanged pressure transmitters may be more suitable.


Smart Threaded Pressure Transmitter Output and Communication

The threaded direct mount pressure transmitter can be supplied with standard industrial output for process automation systems.

Output TypeDescription
4–20 mA DCStandard analog pressure signal for PLC/DCS input
4–20 mA DC + HARTAnalog output with digital communication for configuration and diagnostics
Digital communication optionsAvailable depending on model configuration and project requirements

The 4–20 mA + HART option is widely used because it allows the transmitter to provide a stable analog signal while supporting remote parameter setting, diagnostics, and maintenance through a HART communicator or host system.


Key Features of This Threaded Pressure Transmitter

Direct Threaded Process Connection

The transmitter can be installed directly into a process connection, valve, adapter, manifold, or pressure tapping point. This makes installation simple and compact.

Common process connection options include:

  • 1/2-14 NPT
  • M20×1.5
  • G1/2A
  • Other customized thread connections according to project requirements

Gauge Pressure and Absolute Pressure Options

This type of transmitter is mainly used for:

  • Gauge pressure measurement
  • Absolute pressure measurement

Gauge pressure transmitters are suitable for most pipeline and equipment pressure applications. Absolute pressure transmitters are used when the measurement must be referenced to absolute vacuum, such as vacuum systems, sealed vessels, and low-pressure gas applications.

Compact Field Installation

The threaded direct mount structure reduces installation space and is suitable for many standard pressure measurement points. It can be installed on pipelines, equipment nozzles, pressure valves, or instrument panels.

Local LCD Display

The transmitter can be equipped with a local display for reading pressure value, output current, percentage range, or other operating information, depending on configuration.

HART Remote Configuration

With HART communication, users can configure range, unit, damping, zero point, output mode, and diagnostic functions through a HART handheld communicator or host system.

Multiple Wetted Material Options

For different process media, wetted parts and diaphragm materials can be selected according to corrosion compatibility. For common media, stainless steel is widely used; for corrosive service, special diaphragm materials may be required.

Suitable for Industrial Automation

The transmitter is designed for pressure measurement loops in PLC and DCS systems, providing reliable output for process monitoring, alarm, control, and equipment protection.

Gauge Pressure Transmitter and Absolute Pressure Transmitter Options

The threaded direct mount pressure transmitter can be selected according to the required pressure reference.

TypeDescriptionTypical Use
Gauge Pressure TransmitterMeasures pressure relative to atmospheric pressurePipeline pressure, pump pressure, tank pressure, hydraulic pressure
Absolute Pressure TransmitterMeasures pressure relative to absolute vacuumVacuum systems, sealed vessels, gas systems, low absolute pressure applications

Gauge Pressure Transmitter

A threaded gauge pressure transmitter is the most common type for industrial pressure monitoring. It is used when the process pressure is compared with atmospheric pressure.

Common applications:

  • water pressure
  • air pressure
  • steam pressure
  • oil pressure
  • pump discharge pressure
  • compressed air systems
  • process pipeline pressure

Absolute Pressure Transmitter

A threaded absolute pressure transmitter is used when atmospheric pressure changes should not affect the measurement result.

Common applications:

  • vacuum equipment
  • sealed tanks
  • gas systems
  • evaporation systems
  • low-pressure process vessels

Industrial Applications of Threaded Direct Mount Pressure Transmitters

Pipeline Pressure Measurement

Used for continuous pressure monitoring in water, gas, oil, steam, and chemical pipelines. The transmitter can be installed directly on a pressure tapping point or through a valve.

Pump and Compressor Pressure Monitoring

Suitable for pump outlet pressure, compressor discharge pressure, air pressure systems, and equipment protection loops.

Tank and Vessel Pressure Measurement

Used for pressure monitoring on storage tanks, process vessels, reactors, separators, and auxiliary equipment.

Steam and Hot Water Systems

For steam pressure measurement, a syphon, cooling element, or proper impulse connection is usually recommended to protect the transmitter from excessive temperature.

Hydraulic and Pneumatic Systems

Suitable for hydraulic stations, pneumatic systems, compressed air networks, and industrial pressure control loops.

Chemical and Petrochemical Processes

Can be used for compatible process media. If the medium is corrosive, viscous, crystallizing, or easy to block, material selection or diaphragm seal structure should be evaluated carefully.

Water Treatment and Utility Systems

Applied in pumping stations, filtration systems, water distribution lines, dosing systems, and industrial utility pressure measurement.


How to Select a Threaded Direct Mount Pressure Transmitter

When selecting a threaded direct mount pressure transmitter, confirm the following information:

  1. Pressure type
    Confirm whether the application requires gauge pressure or absolute pressure.
  2. Measuring range
    Provide normal operating pressure, maximum pressure, and required calibrated range.
  3. Process medium
    Confirm whether the medium is liquid, gas, steam, oil, water, corrosive chemical, or high-viscosity fluid.
  4. Process temperature
    For steam or high-temperature liquid, confirm whether a syphon, cooling element, or diaphragm seal is required.
  5. Process connection
    Confirm the required thread size, such as 1/2-14 NPT, M20×1.5, G1/2A, or customized thread.
  6. Output signal
    Confirm whether the control system requires 4–20 mA, 4–20 mA + HART, or other communication options.
  7. Display requirement
    Confirm whether local LCD display is required for field reading.
  8. Wetted material
    Confirm whether stainless steel is suitable, or whether special materials are required for corrosive media.
  9. Electrical connection
    Confirm cable entry thread, such as M20×1.5 or 1/2 NPT, and whether an explosion-proof cable gland is required.
  10. Installation accessories
    Confirm whether a needle valve, gauge valve, two-valve manifold, mounting bracket, syphon, cooling element, or adapter is needed.

Threaded Direct Mount Pressure Transmitter vs Flanged Pressure Transmitter

ItemThreaded Direct Mount Pressure TransmitterFlanged / Diaphragm Seal Pressure Transmitter
Process ConnectionThreaded connectionFlange or diaphragm seal
InstallationCompact and simpleLarger structure, more process isolation
Suitable MediaClean liquid, gas, steamCorrosive, viscous, crystallizing, dirty media
Blockage RiskHigher if medium is dirty or viscousLower with flush diaphragm or seal structure
