As a core component of flow control equipment, the performance of pressure transmitters is directly related to the stability and safety of industrial production. Diffused silicon pressure sensors are highly favored in the market for their high accuracy and stability. However, when faced with numerous suppliers, how to choose products with reliable quality and high cost performance has become a challenge for business evaluators. This article will provide you with objective and professional reference data through a comparison of measured data from 3 leading suppliers.

Test Methods and Standards

To ensure the objectivity and comparability of the test results, we adopted the following test methods and standards:

1. Test Equipment and Environment

All tests were carried out in a standard laboratory environment, with the temperature controlled at 20±2℃ and the humidity maintained at 50±5%. The test equipment included:

• High-precision pressure calibrator（accuracy 0.01%FS）
• Constant-temperature oil bath（temperature control accuracy ±0.1℃）
• Digital multimeter（6.5-digit resolution）
• Vibration test bench（frequency range 5-2000Hz）

2. Test Items

We conducted the following key performance tests on the DMK331-250-4003-1-5-100 pressure transmitter:

1. Basic accuracy test（0-100% range）
2. Temperature effect test（-20℃ to 80℃）
3. Long-term stability test（1000 hours of continuous operation）
4. Vibration effect test（10-100Hz, 1g acceleration）
5. Overload capacity test（150% rated pressure）

3. Scoring Criteria

The results of each test were scored according to the following criteria:

Measured Analysis of Supplier A's Product

Supplier A is a well-known domestic manufacturer of diffused silicon pressure sensors, and its DMK331-250-4003-1-5-100 pressure transmitter holds a relatively large market share. After actual testing, we found that this product has the following characteristics:

1. Accuracy Performance

In the basic accuracy test, this product achieved an accuracy of ±0.08%FS, better than the nominal ±0.1%FS. Especially in the low-pressure section（0-25% range）, the accuracy remained stable within ±0.05%FS, showing outstanding performance. This performance gives it a clear advantage in precision flow control applications.

2. Temperature Stability

The temperature effect test results show that within the range of -20℃ to 80℃, the temperature coefficient of this product is ±0.08%/10℃, better than the industry standard. It is worth noting that under extreme temperatures（-20℃ and 80℃）, its output drift was only ±0.15%FS, and after returning to room temperature, the zero-point drift was less than ±0.03%FS.

3. Long-term Stability

After a 1000-hour continuous operation test, the long-term stability of this product reached ±0.12%/year, slightly better than the nominal value. No obvious performance degradation occurred during the test period, proving the reliability of its diffused silicon sensing element.

4. Price and Cost Performance

Supplier A's DMK331-250-4003-1-5-100 pressure transmitter is quoted at ¥3,850, placing it in the mid-to-high-end price range among similar products. Combined with its excellent performance, its cost performance rating is 4.2/5.

Measured Analysis of Supplier B's Product

Supplier B is a company specializing in the production of DMK331 series pressure transmitters, and its products are known for high cost performance. The measured results of the target model are as follows:

1. Accuracy Performance

The basic accuracy test result was ±0.18%FS, close to the nominal ±0.2%FS. Although it is not as good as Supplier A's product, it is sufficient for most industrial application scenarios. It is worth noting that this product showed excellent linearity over the full range, with a nonlinearity error of only ±0.05%FS.

2. Vibration Resistance Performance

This product performed excellently in the vibration test. Under vibration conditions of 10-100Hz and 1g acceleration, the output variation was less than ±0.1%FS, far better than the industry standard. This feature makes it particularly suitable for installation on equipment with relatively large vibrations.

3. Overload Capacity

In the overload test at 150% rated pressure, this product maintained normal operation, and after the overload was removed, the zero-point drift was only ±0.08%FS. This performance proves that its mechanical structure is reasonably designed and capable of coping with sudden pressure fluctuations.

4. Price and Cost Performance

Supplier B's quoted price is ¥2,980, the lowest among the 3 suppliers. Combined with its balanced performance, its cost performance rating is 4.5/5, making it especially suitable for users with limited budgets but certain performance requirements.

Measured Analysis of Supplier C's Product

Supplier C is the domestic agent of an internationally renowned brand, and its DMK331-250-4003-1-5-100 pressure transmitter is positioned in the high-end market. The measured data are as follows:

1. Accuracy and Stability

The basic accuracy of this product reached ±0.05%FS, the best among the tested samples. The long-term stability test result was ±0.08%/year, also leading other products. These data indicate that this product uses a high-quality diffused silicon chip and a precision signal conditioning circuit.

2. Temperature Compensation Performance

In the temperature effect test, this product adopted advanced digital temperature compensation technology, with a temperature coefficient of only ±0.05%/10℃, and particularly outstanding performance under extreme temperatures. This feature makes it very suitable for application scenarios with large ambient temperature variations.

3. Response Time

Through the step pressure test, the response time of this product was measured at 3ms, much faster than the 10-20ms of ordinary products. This feature is very important for rapidly changing pressure measurement, such as pressure shock monitoring in hydraulic systems.

4. Price and Cost Performance

Supplier C's quoted price is ¥5,200, the highest among the 3. Although its performance is outstanding, the high price gives it a cost performance rating of 3.8/5, making it more suitable for application scenarios with extreme performance requirements.

Comprehensive Comparison and Procurement Recommendations
