The KOBOLD PAD heavy-duty industrial differential pressure transmitter represents the pinnacle of measurement versatility in today's demanding process environments. Engineered with microprocessor-based intelligence, this advanced instrument features user-adjustable pressure ranges and scalable output signals that adapt to your specific application requirements. Whether you need differential, gauge, or absolute pressure measurement capabilities, the PAD delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability across diverse industrial scenarios.
For engineers requiring precise flow monitoring, the KOBOLD PAD excels when paired with primary flow elements such as orifice plates. Unlike traditional flow technologies with moving components susceptible to wear, this stationary measurement principle eliminates mechanical failure points, resulting in extended service life even in challenging environments. The specialized PAD-F model enhances functionality by incorporating valuable totalizing features, allowing simultaneous monitoring of instantaneous flow rates alongside cumulative flow volume—all without requiring temperature or static pressure compensation.
The PAD differential pressure transmitter provides exceptional level measurement accuracy in both open and pressurized vessels. By precisely measuring hydrostatic pressure at the tank bottom against either atmospheric pressure (open tanks) or vapor space pressure (closed vessels), the PAD delivers reliable level readings regardless of environmental fluctuations. This capability proves particularly valuable in applications where direct media contact must be avoided, such as with corrosive substances or vessels with internal moving components.
Environmental temperature variations can impact measurement precision, but the KOBOLD PAD addresses this challenge through automatic compensation for both ambient temperature and process variables. This intelligent feature ensures measurement stability and accuracy even when operating conditions fluctuate, delivering consistent data for critical process control decisions without requiring manual adjustments or recalibration.
Built to withstand the harshest industrial conditions, the KOBOLD PAD features robust construction suitable for deployment in challenging applications across manufacturing, chemical processing, and heavy industry. All configuration data and calibration parameters are securely stored via integrated EEPROM, ensuring operational continuity and parameter retention even during power interruptions.
The PAD transmitter seamlessly integrates with control systems through industry-standard HART® protocol communication. This capability enables remote parameter configuration, diagnostics, and monitoring, significantly reducing maintenance requirements while enhancing operational flexibility. Technicians can adjust settings, troubleshoot issues, and optimize performance without interrupting process operations or requiring direct access to the installed transmitter.
KOBOLD offers the PAD with either capacitance-type differential pressure sensors or piezoresistive absolute pressure sensors, allowing you to select the optimal technology for your specific application demands. These precision sensors convert pressure differences into digital signals with exceptional accuracy, enabling reliable monitoring without complex manual calculations or conversions.
For maximum precision in larger line sizes, pair the PAD differential pressure transmitter with our KPL Differential Pressure Orifice Plates. This powerful combination delivers superior measurement integrity for demanding flow applications where accuracy is paramount. The modular nature of this approach allows for independent servicing of either component while enabling optimal selection of both transmitter and primary element based on specific application requirements.

**This product requires completion of our Application Guide before specification and ordering.**
This product line offers multiple configuration options and technical specifications that must be precisely matched to/calibrated for your specific application requirements. Unlike standard configurable items, these products are engineered solutions that require detailed application information to ensure optimal performance.
Unless this is a repeat order of a previously specified product with Kobold, we cannot accept orders or provide quotations without a completed Application Guide. Product numbers selected without proper application review may not meet your system requirements and could result in performance issues or compatibility problems.
Even if you believe you've identified the correct part number, the Application Guide process is required to verify compatibility and ensure a streamlined quote/order process.
The PDF Application Guide can be downloaded directly from this product page in the “Resource Tab” below and is also attached to the end of the product datasheet. Completed forms can be submitted to customerservice@koboldusa.com.
