Configured for precise absolute pressure measurement in process loops, the Foxboro 11AH-BS2 (11AH Pneumatic Absolute Pressure Transmitter) provides direct physical/electrical execution. The instrument converts process pressure displacement into a standard 3 to 15 psi (20 to 100 kPa) pneumatic output signal via an internal force-balance mechanism. Featuring a 316 stainless steel capsule material and 1/2 NPT process connection, the hardware operates with an air consumption rate of 0.42 m3/h (0.25 cfm) at standard conditions under a constant 20 psi (140 kPa) regulated air supply.

The transmitter integrates directly into legacy process control schemes by converting absolute line pressures into modulated pneumatic signals without electronic component reliance. Analog signal conditioning occurs strictly via mechanical force balancing, eliminating electrical noise and grounding loop issues associated with typical 4-20 mA HART loop protocol wiring or FOUNDATION Fieldbus connectivity. The mechanical capsule assembly provides inherent isolation against process fluid temperature spikes while maintaining zero shift stability. By eliminating electronic cold junction compensation and digital converter latencies, the unit responds continuously to fluid pressure shifts across the full 20 to 200 psi span.
Q: What instrument air quality parameters are necessary to maintain proper flapper-nozzle alignment?
A: The supply air line requires dry, oil-free instrument air filtered to prevent orifice clogging and mechanical drift across the internal force-balance mechanism.
Q: How does the mechanical force-balance system isolate the output signal from line vibration?
A: The rigid 316 stainless steel capsule and balanced flexure pivot design damp out high-frequency pipe vibrations before pressure forces reach the nozzle-flapper assembly.
