At the 7th China International Import Expo, ABB globally launched the green high-performance pressure transmitter P-500 series and showcased its new pressure transmitter P series product portfolio for the first time in China

Accurate measurement equipment helps industrial customers optimize process control and improve energy efficiency

Integrating a range of digital technologies to further support China’s industrial digital transformation

At the 2024 China International Import Expo, ABB globally launched the green high-performance pressure transmitter P-500 series and showcased its new pressure transmitter product portfolio for the first time, including the P-100, P-300, and P-500 series pressure transmitters, bringing higher performance and precision measurement experiences to industrial and utility industries, helping industrial customers optimize process control and improve energy efficiency. By integrating a range of digital technologies, the new pressure transmitter will provide support for the digital transformation of process industries.

ABB’s new pressure transmitter product portfolio includes the P-100, P-300, and P-500 series, designed to meet more market demands and industry requirements, allowing users to easily choose pressure transmitters that meet various process requirements.

Accurate pressure measurement is crucial for optimizing process control, improving energy efficiency, reducing emissions, and maintaining product quality in industrial operations, “said Han Meina, Global Head of ABB’s Measurement and Analysis Business Unit Instrumentation Business Line.” The new P-series pressure transmitter provides customers with a convenient choice, bringing high-performance and high-precision measurement experience

The P-500 series, which was launched this time, is the flagship product in ABB’s pressure product portfolio. It is currently the pressure measurement product with the highest design accuracy and widest measurement range from ABB. It can meet the industrial equipment needs of the chemical, oil and gas, hydrogen production, and glass industries. The P-500 can increase the measurement accuracy from 0.035% of the calibration range to 0.02%, and can also reach 0.04% of the reading. It also has very accurate static pressure measurement, up to 0.04%.

The outstanding measurement accuracy of P-500 can assist in more precise and stable process control, optimizing the control of all process parameters, including energy consumption and raw material consumption.

By integrating important digital functions such as QR codes for convenient operation, Bluetooth (BT) for configuration, and the possibility of software updates through NFC/BT, the P-500 further supports industrial digital transformation. The addition of automatic ID/RFID recognition capabilities enables the P-500 to provide a more comprehensive digital experience for factories and customers. In addition, the series is equipped with advanced communication protocols such as Ethernet Advanced Physical Layer (Ethernet APL), as well as a backlit intelligent touch human-machine interface.

The unique Diaflex and H-Shield hydrogen shield membranes are part of the new pressure transmitter product. Diaplex diaphragms can protect instruments from damage caused by abrasive slurries in many processing industries, thereby eliminating or minimizing the occurrence of transmitter failures. H-Shield hydrogen shield diaphragms have cutting-edge hydrogen permeation resistance, ensuring the service life and reliability of pressure transmitters.

In addition, the new P series products have obtained Environmental Product Certification (EPD) from a globally authoritative organization based on product lifecycle assessment. EPD is a certification of the environmental impact of products throughout the entire process from raw material procurement to disposal.
