Honeywell Breaks New Ground in Industrial Measurement with Revolutionary Smart Pressure Transmitter
Shanghai, China — 2025 — Honeywell International Inc., a leading global technology company specializing in automation controls and security solutions, today announced the launch of its latest innovation in industrial measurement technology: the Honeywell Smart Pressure Transmitter Series. Designed to meet the most rigorous demands of the petrochemical sector, this cutting-edge device sets new benchmarks in precision, reliability, and digital connectivity.
Unprecedented Accuracy Meets Rugged Reliability
The newly released Honeywell Smart Pressure Transmitter achieves an impressive accuracy level of 0.075%, one of the highest specifications currently available on the market. This exceptional precision ensures that oil and gas companies, chemical plants, and refineries can operate their processes with unparalleled confidence, minimizing measurement errors that could lead to production inefficiencies or safety hazards.
Engineered to withstand the harshest environmental conditions, the transmitter features:
- Ultra-high measurement accuracy: 0.075% standard accuracy, enabling precise process control across wide measuring ranges
- Advanced HART protocol support: Seamless integration with existing fieldbus infrastructure for real-time diagnostics and remote configuration
- Wide operating temperature range: Fully functional in extreme environments from -40°C to +125°C
- Durable construction materials: Stainless steel and Hastelloy diaphragms resistant to corrosive media
- Intrinsically safe certification: Ex ia IIC T6 explosion-proof rating suitable for hazardous areas classified as Zone 0/Division 1
HART Protocol: Enabling Intelligent Process Automation
A standout feature of the Honeywell Smart Pressure Transmitter is its built-in support for the HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) communication protocol. This globally recognized standard enables bi-directional digital communication overlaid on the traditional 4-20mA analog signal, providing plant operators with access to detailed diagnostic data without interrupting primary process measurements.
