KE-240-400BG5M Working Principle Revealed: Core Technology Analysis of Diffused Silicon Pressure Sensors

As a core component of flow control equipment, the KE-240-400BG5M diffused silicon pressure sensor is highly favored in the industry for its outstanding stability and accuracy. This article provides an in-depth analysis of its working principle, helping contract executors fully understand the core technical advantages of YM-QP, KS-E-E-C-B04C-M-V and other series products, and offering professional guidance for equipment selection and system integration.


Core Technical Principles of Diffused Silicon Pressure Sensors

The KE-240-400BG5M pressure transmitter adopts advanced diffused silicon technology, with its core based on the piezoresistive effect of silicon chips. When external pressure acts on the sensor, the silicon diaphragm undergoes slight deformation, causing changes in the resistance value of the embedded pressure-sensitive resistors. This change is converted into an electrical signal through a Wheatstone bridge, and after amplification and linearization processing, outputs a standard signal (such as 4-20mA or 0-10V).

Compared with traditional metal strain gauge sensors, KE-240-400BG5M series products offer the following significant advantages:

  • Higher sensitivity: The piezoresistive coefficient of silicon material is 50-100 times that of metal
  • Excellent long-term stability: Annual drift is less than 0.1%FS
  • Wide temperature compensation range: Accuracy is maintained within -40℃~125℃
  • Strong overload resistance: Can withstand up to 3 times the rated pressure

Structural Design and Material Selection of KE-240-400BG5M

This sensor model adopts an all-welded stainless steel structure, and the key components include:

ComponentMaterialFeatures
Pressure port316L Stainless SteelCorrosion-resistant, impact-resistant
Isolation DiaphragmHastelloy C276Suitable for highly corrosive media
Sensing elementMonocrystalline siliconHigh sensitivity, low temperature coefficient
Sealing MaterialFluororubber/VitonOil-resistant, high-temperature-resistant

This structural design makes KE-240-400BG5M particularly suitable for flow control applications in harsh environments such as petrochemical and water treatment, forming a complete product matrix together with YM-JGSYY, YM-DJYJ and other series products.


Comparison of Key Performance Parameters and Industry Standards

The main technical specifications of the KE-240-400BG5M pressure transmitter are as follows:

  • Measurement range: 0-40MPa (customizable from 0-100kPa to 0-100MPa)
  • Accuracy class: ±0.25%FS (optional ±0.1%FS)
  • Long-term stability: ≤±0.1%FS/year
  • Medium temperature: -40℃~125℃
  • Output signal: 4-20mA/0-5V/0-10V/RS485
  • Protection rating: IP67 (optional IP68)
  • Explosion-proof certification: Exia IIC T6 Ga

Compared with similar products such as KS-E-E-Z-B01C-M-V and QBE2003-P6, KE-240-400BG5M performs outstandingly in the following aspects:

  • Response time shortened by 30% (typical value ≤1ms)
  • Temperature effect reduced to 0.01%FS/℃
  • Vibration effect ≤0.05%FS/g (10-2000Hz)

Precautions for Calibration and Installation

To ensure the best performance of the KE-240-400BG5M pressure transmitter, pay attention to the following during calibration and installation:

  1. Calibration environment: It should be carried out in a constant temperature environment of 23±2℃, with reference to JJG 882-2019 Pressure Transmitter Verification Regulation
  2. Installation position: Avoid direct installation near vibration sources or heat sources; it is recommended to use the KS-E-E-Z-B01U-M-V mounting bracket
  3. Piping connection: Use dedicated sealing gaskets, with torque controlled at 15-20N·m
  4. Electrical connection: The length of the shielded cable should not exceed 1000 meters, and the grounding resistance should be <4Ω

For special media (such as high-viscosity or crystallizing liquids), it is recommended to refer to the diaphragm seal selection guide in technical document 40.4366/000-999-405-502-20-61.


Typical Application Scenarios and Selection Recommendations

KE-240-400BG5M series products are widely used in the following fields:

The following factors should be重点 considered during selection:

  • Medium characteristics (corrosiveness, viscosity, temperature)
  • Pressure range (including possible pressure peaks)
  • Environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, vibration)
  • Output signal requirements (analog/digital)
  • Certification requirements (explosion-proof, sanitary, marine, etc.)

For special requirements, the KS-E-E-C-B02C-M-V series supports customized services, including special interfaces, extended cables, multi-parameter measurement and other functions.


Maintenance and Troubleshooting

To ensure the long-term reliable operation of the KE-240-400BG5M pressure transmitter, it is recommended to:

  1. Regular inspection: Check the condition of sealing components and electrical connections every 6 months
  2. Zero-point calibration: Perform zero-point calibration at least once a year (refer to the YM-QP calibration manual)
  3. Medium cleaning: For media prone to crystallization, configure a flushing interface
  4. Storage conditions: When not in use for a long time, store in a dry environment and avoid extreme temperatures
