    The document provides instructions for correcting the high trim value of a differential pressure transmitter due to high static line pressure. It gives a formula to calculate the corrected high trim value using values for the upper range value, span shift percentage, static line pressure, and lower range value. In an example, the transmitter has an upper range value of 1500 inH20, a span shift of -0.95%, a static line pressure of 1200 psi, and a lower range value of 500 inH20. Using the formula, the corrected high trim value is calculated to be 1517.1 inH20. The document then instructs to perform the upper sensor trim procedure and enter the corrected high trim value of 1517.1 inH

    Example
    A range 4 differential pressure HART transmitter (3051CD4...) will be used in an application with
    a static line pressure of 1200 psi (83 bar). The transmitter output is ranged with the Lower
    Range Value at 500 inH20 (1, 2 bar) and the Upper Range Value at 1500 inH20 (3, 7 bar). To
    correct for systematic error caused by high static line pressure, first use the following formulas
    to determine the corrected values for the high trim value.

    High Trim Value:


    HT = (URV - (S/100 x P/1000 x LRV))
    Where:

    HT =

    Corrected High Trim Value

    URV =

    Upper Range Value

    S=

    Span shift per specification (as a percent of reading)

    P=

    Static Line Pressure in psi

    URV =

    1500 inH2O (3.74 bar)

    S=

    -0.95%

    P=

    1200 psi

    LT =

    1500 - (-0.95%/100 x 1200 psi/1000 psi x 1500 inH2O)

    LT =

    1517.1 inH20

    In this example:

    Complete the Upper Sensor Trim procedure as described in Sensor Trim on page 68. In the
    example above, at step 4, apply the nominal pressure value of 1500 inH20. However, enter the
    calculated correct upper Sensor Trim value of 1517.1 inH20 with a Field Communicator.
    Note
    The Range Values for the upper and lower range points should be at the nominal URV and LRV. In
    the example above, the values are 1500 inH20 and 500 inH20 respectively. Confirm the values
    on the HOME screen of the Field Communicator. Modify, if needed, by following the steps in
    Rerange the transmitter on page 10.

    Sensor Trim Overview


    A Sensor Trim corrects the pressure offset and pressure range to match a pressure standard. The
    Upper Sensor Trim corrects the pressure range and the Lower Sensor Trim (Zero Trim) corrects
    the pressure offset. An accurate pressure standard is required for full calibration. A zero trim can
    be performed if the process is vented, or the high and low side pressure are equal (for
    differential pressure transmitters).
    Zero trim is a single-point offset adjustment. It is useful for compensating for mounting position
    effects and is most effective when performed with the transmitter installed in its final mounting
