Product Overview

The HM31 Differential Pressure Transmitter is a compact, high-performance instrument designed for precise measurement of differential pressure in industrial processes. With configurable ranges from 10 kPa to 2 MPa and accuracy options up to ±0.1% FS, it delivers reliable measurement data for flow monitoring, filter condition assessment, and process pressure drop applications.

Built around an advanced piezoresistive differential pressure sensing element paired with a dedicated signal conditioning ASIC, the HM31 achieves exceptional thermal stability with zero and span temperature coefficients of just ±0.02% FS/°C (typical). The all-stainless-steel wetted construction provides broad chemical compatibility for both liquid and gas media, while the compact housing keeps installation weight under 250 grams.

A standout feature of the HM31 is its exceptional static pressure resistance — up to 20 MPa on both the high and low ports — making it particularly well-suited for flow measurement in high-pressure pipelines where large line pressures coexist with small differential pressures. The optional Ex ia II CT5 intrinsic safety certification further extends its application into hazardous Zone 0/1 environments in petrochemical and mining operations.

Multiple output options (4-20mA, 0-5V, 1-5V, 0.5-4.5V) and process connections (M20×1.5, G1/4) ensure seamless integration with existing control infrastructure. With a ≤2 ms response time and 10⁸ pressure cycle life rating, the HM31 is engineered for demanding, long-service industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

The HM30 is designed for micro-differential and wind pressure measurement with ranges from 500 Pa to 100 kPa, while the HM31 covers higher differential pressure ranges from 10 kPa to 2 MPa. The HM31 also offers significantly higher static pressure resistance (20 MPa vs 2 MPa on the HM30), making it suitable for high-pressure pipeline flow measurement. Choose the HM30 for HVAC and low-pressure applications, and the HM31 for industrial process control and flow measurement.

First, determine the maximum differential pressure generated by your primary element (orifice plate, Venturi tube, etc.) at maximum flow rate. Then select a range that places your normal operating differential pressure at 60-80% of the transmitter’s full scale for optimal accuracy. For example, if your orifice generates 30 kPa at maximum flow, the 0-50 kPa range would provide the best accuracy at typical operating conditions.

Yes. Order the HM31 with the “E” suffix to get the intrinsically safe version certified to Ex ia II CT5. This version must be powered through an approved safety barrier. The intrinsically safe design ensures the electrical energy in the hazardous area circuit is insufficient to cause ignition of the specified gas or dust atmosphere.

The HM31 can withstand up to 20 MPa (approximately 2900 psi) static pressure on both the high and low pressure ports. However, the allowable overpressure on the differential side varies by range — for example, the 10-50 kPa range allows +250 kPa positive and -100 kPa negative overload. Always ensure both static pressure and differential overload limits are within specifications for your application.

For liquid applications, mount the transmitter below the process taps with both pressure ports at the same horizontal level. Use a three-valve manifold between the process and transmitter to safely isolate and equalize pressure during commissioning and maintenance. Ensure impulse lines slope continuously downward from the taps to prevent gas accumulation, and use the same length and diameter tubing on both sides to minimize measurement errors.
