PROCESS VARIABLE TRANSMITTER WITH PROCESS VARIABLE SENSOR CARRIED BY PROCESS GASKET

摘要

A process variable transmitter (260) for sensing a process variable of process fluid in an industrial process includes a process gasket (200) having a surface configured to form a seal with a process vessel face. The process gasket (200) is exposed to the process fluid through an opening in the process vessel face. A process variable sensor (220) is carried by the process gasket (200) and configured to sense a process variable of the process fluid and provide a sensor output (222). Measurement circuitry (282) coupled to the process variable sensor (220) provides a process variable transmitter output related to the process variable output.
