Model 764 Differential Pressure Transmitter Section 1
Section 1—Introduction
General
The Model 764 Dierential Pressure Transmitter provides a 4-20 mA or 10-
50 mA proportional-to-dierential pressure signal for transmission to remote
receiving, control, or readout devices.
The electronic components of the Model 764 transmitter are housed in a
pressure-sealed enclosure. The instruments are designed to operate beyond
their normal operating environmental specications for a limited period of
time under such adverse conditions as may be encountered within the contain-
ment of a nuclear power plant under accident and post-accident conditions.
These adverse environments include severe changes in ambient pressure,
temperature and humidity, seismic events, and radiation exposure.
Product Description
The Model 764 transmitter combines a dierential pressure unit (DPU) with
an electronic circuit. The 4-20 mA or 10-50 mA output is compatible with a
wide range of electronic receiving, control, and readout equipment. The in-
strument utilizes electronic circuits and a molecular-bonded strain gage sens-
ing cantilever beam, actuated directly by the bellows travel within the DPU.
Dierential Pressure Unit (DPU)
The mechanical actuating device for the Model 764 transmitter is a dual
bellows assembly enclosed by a set of two pressure housings. The dual bel-
lows assembly (Figure 2.1, page 9) consists of two internally-connected
bellows, a center block, overrange valves, a temperature compensator, a strain
gage assembly, and range springs. The internal volume of the bellows and
center block is completely lled with a clean, non-corrosive, non-conductive
liquid with a low freezing point and sealed. The motion-sensing cantilever
beam is also sealed within this environment.
Electronic Transmitter
The electronic transmitter supplies either a 4-20 mA or 10-50 mA direct cur-
rent output signal that is proportional to the dierential pressure sensed by the
DPU. The output signal is transmitted over a two-wire transmission line to
remote receiving devices.
Power Supply
A regulated direct current (DC) power supply is required to operate the trans-
mitting loop.

LP Bellows
Figure 2.1—DPU
The dierential pressure range of the dual-bellows type DPU is determined by
the force required to move the bellows through their normal range of travel.
To provide for various ranges, range springs are incorporated into the Bellows
Unit Assembly (BUA). The range springs, which are available in various
factory assemblies, accurately balance the dierential pressure applied to the
DPU.
In operation, the two bellows (which are connected by the valve stem shown
in Figure 2.1) move in proportion to the dierence in pressure applied across
the BUA. The linear motion of the bellows is picked up by the tip of the sili-
cone strain gage beam, which is actuated directly by the valve stem connect-
ing the two bellows. If the bellows are subjected to a pressure greater than the
dierential pressure range of the DPU, they will move through their normal
range of travel, plus a small additional amount of "overtravel," until the valve
on the stem shaft seals against its valve seat. As the valve closes on the seat, it
"traps" the ll liquid in the bellows, protecting the unit from damage or shift
in calibration.
Since the ll uid is essentially non-compressible, the bellows are fully sup-
ported and cannot rupture regardless of the over-pressure (up to the full rated
pressure of the instrument) applied to the unit. Furthermore, since the unit
contains opposed valves, protection against "overrange" in either direction is
provided.
Draining or Venting. The high and low pressure housings of the DPU are
provided with both top and bottom pressure connections which provide a
draining feature when the unit is used in gas installations, or a venting feature

Section 2 Model 764 Differential Pressure Transmitter
when the unit is used in liquid installations, when installed in accordance with
standard practices.
Temperature Compensation. The high pressure side of the DPU has extra
bellows convolutions to provide for expansion and contraction of the ll
liquid caused by ambient temperature changes. These extra convolutions are
connected to the measuring bellows by a passageway to permit the ll liquid
to change volume without materially aecting the internal pressure or the
physical relationship of the measuring bellows.
Bellows. Individual bellows diaphragms are stamped from special order Type
316 ELC (Extra Low Carbon) stainless steel sheets. The diaphragms are as-
sembled and seam welded to form the bellows.
Strain Gage Assembly. The strain gage assembly (Figure 2.2) consists of
a strain gage beam and a glass-to-metal seal feed-through assembly. Strain
gages are bonded to opposite sides of the strain gage beam. The end of the
strain gage beam is installed directly into a cutout in the valve stem con-
necting the two bellows of the DPU. Any movement of the bellows in either
direction causes a corresponding linear movement of the strain gage beam
which acts upon the strain gages. Any action of the strain gages is monitored
by the electronic transmitter circuit.

Range Springs. The range springs act with the bellows to balance the dier-
ential pressure applied to the unit. The springs are fabricated of a material that
is compatible with the specic bellows material used. The number of springs
and their rate depends on the dierential range desired.
Electronic Transmitter
The DPU senses the dierence in pressure applied across the bellows unit as-
sembly. The pressure causes a linear motion of the bellows which is mechani-
cally transmitted to the strain gages by the strain gage beam. Motion of the
end of the strain gage beam applies tension to one gage and compression on
the other. The gage in tension increases in resistance, while the one under
