Theory of Operation
The Barton Model 224 DPU shown in Figure A.2, page A-4, measures the diff er-
ential pressure in a process system relative to process functions and produces
a mechanical output that actuates process monitoring instruments and process
control devices.
The high-pressure (HP) housing is connected by pipe or tubing to the high-
pressure side of the primary measuring device. The low-pressure (LP) hous-
ing is connected to the low-pressure side of the primary device.
As pressure changes within the housings, the bellows move laterally. The
connecting drive arm follows the motion of the bellows, and twists the torque
tube. The rotation of the torque tube shaft provides the mechanical motion
