The implemented filling oil also influences the TK
zero point
, the permis-
sible ambient temperature and the step response time of a chemical
seal. See also chapter "Influence of the temperature to the zero point"
and "Step response time".
The differential pressure transmitter also influences the temperature
application range, the TK
zero point
and the step response time of the iso-
lating system through the volume of its lateral flanges and its control
volume.

3.2 Influence of temperature changes
The filling oil expands as the temperature increases. The additional
volume presses on the chemical seal. The more rigid the diaphragm,
the more it counteracts a volume change. The additional volume also
adds to the process pressure on the measuring cell and thus shifts
the zero point. The respective temperature coefficient "TK
Process
" is
listed in chapter "Dimensions and weights".
The following diagram shows the temperature coefficient depending
on the capillary length. The process temperature corresponds to the
calibration temperature. The temperature coefficients determined
from the diagram apply to silicone oil and the diaphragm material
316L. For other filling oil, these temperature coefficients have to be
multiplied with the correction factor for the TK of the respective filling
oil.

The control volume is the volume that must be shifted in order to utilise the
complete measuring range.
