Product Details: Foxboro IGP10-T22D1F Smart Pressure Transmitter
1. Product Overview
The Foxboro IGP10-T22D1F is an industrial-grade smart pressure transmitter from Schneider Electric’s Foxboro brand, tailored for precise pressure measurement, signal conditioning, and reliable data transmission in critical process control applications. As a flagship model in the Foxboro IGP10 series—known for ruggedness, long-term stability, and cost-effectiveness—it utilizes advanced piezoresistive sensing technology to convert static or dynamic pressure inputs into standardized 4-20 mA analog signals, with optional HART digital communication for smart functionality.
Designed to withstand harsh industrial environments (e.g., high temperature, vibration, corrosive media), this transmitter eliminates signal degradation from long wiring by performing local signal amplification and linearization. It seamlessly integrates with DCS (Distributed Control Systems), PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), and SCADA systems, making it ideal for oil & gas, chemical processing, power generation, and water/wastewater industries. With built-in self-diagnostics, remote configuration, and low maintenance requirements, it aligns with Schneider Electric’s goal of optimizing industrial operational efficiency and reducing unplanned downtime.
2. Key Technical Specifications
3. Core Features
- High-Precision & Stable Sensing: Equipped with a piezoresistive sensor with 316L stainless steel diaphragm, the transmitter delivers ±0.075% span accuracy and long-term stability (drift <0.1% of span per year). This ensures reliable pressure data for processes requiring tight control (e.g., chemical reactor pressure, oil pipeline pressure).
- Rugged Industrial Design: IP66/IP67-rated housing protects against dust, water ingress, and harsh weather, making it suitable for outdoor installations (e.g., offshore oil platforms, wastewater treatment plants). The wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and vibration/shock resistance enable performance in extreme industrial environments.
- Smart Digital Connectivity: HART 7.0 compatibility supports remote configuration (e.g., adjusting pressure range, units, alarm thresholds) and diagnostics—eliminating the need for on-site visits and reducing maintenance costs. The 4-20 mA analog signal coexists with digital data, ensuring seamless integration with legacy DCS systems while enabling future digitalization.
- Corrosion Resistance: Wetted parts (sensor diaphragm, process connection) made of 316L stainless steel resist corrosion from hydrocarbons, salts, and mild chemicals—ideal for oil & gas, marine, and chemical processing applications. Optional Hastelloy C-276 diaphragm is available for strong acid/basis applications (on request).
- Easy Installation & Integration: Standard 1/2 NPT process connection and 2-wire loop-powered design simplify wiring and mounting (field-mount or pipe-mount via optional bracket). The transmitter is compatible with all major DCS/PLC systems (e.g., Foxboro I/A Series, Siemens PCS 7, Allen-Bradley ControlLogix) via HART or analog signal.
4. Application Scenarios
- Oil & Gas: Measures pressure in crude oil pipelines, wellheads, and storage tanks. Resists corrosion from hydrocarbons and withstands high pressure (up to 100 bar optional), ensuring safe and efficient oil/gas transportation.
- Chemical Processing: Monitors pressure in reactors, distillation columns, and chemical storage tanks. The 316L stainless steel wetted parts prevent contamination of process media, complying with industry safety standards (e.g., ISO 13849).
- Power Generation: Tracks pressure in boiler feedwater lines, steam turbines, and cooling systems. High accuracy and fast response times (≤100 ms) help prevent equipment damage from overpressure and ensure power plant efficiency.
- Water & Wastewater: Measures pressure in water distribution pipelines, sewage treatment tanks, and pump stations. The IP67 rating withstands wet environments, and corrosion resistance ensures longevity in chlorinated water.
- Food & Beverage: Monitors pressure in beverage filling lines, food processing vessels, and clean-in-place (CIP) systems. The 316L stainless steel construction meets FDA standards for food contact, ensuring product safety.
5. Installation & Configuration Notes
- Mounting Guidelines: Install the transmitter in a location free from direct sunlight, extreme vibration, or high-temperature sources. Use the optional pipe-mount bracket (part number IGP10-BRK-PIPE) for vertical/horizontal pipe mounting. Ensure the process connection is tightened to 25-30 N·m (avoid over-tightening to prevent diaphragm damage).
- Wiring Instructions: Use shielded twisted-pair cables (22 AWG minimum) for loop wiring to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI). Connect the positive terminal to the DCS/PLC output and the negative terminal to ground—ensure correct polarity to avoid power failure.
- Connect a HART communicator to the transmitter’s loop terminals (no need to power off the loop).
- Select the pressure range, units (bar, psi, kPa), and output scaling via the communicator’s menu.
- Perform zero calibration using a precision pressure reference (e.g., dead-weight tester) for optimal accuracy.
- Enable diagnostic alerts (e.g., overpressure) and set HART polling address for integration with the control system.
- Maintenance Recommendations: Perform annual calibration using a NIST-traceable pressure calibrator. Inspect the process connection quarterly for leaks or corrosion (especially in harsh environments) and clean the housing with a dry cloth to remove dust/debris.
6. Quality & Warranty
- Certifications: Complies with IEC 61298-1 (process measurement transmitters), ANSI/ISA-50.00.01 (electrical standards), ATEX (hazardous areas: Zone 0/1/2 for gas, Zone 21/22 for dust), IECEx (international hazardous areas), and CE marking (EU). Meets FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements for food/pharmaceutical applications.
