When you need to reduce variation in level control and maximize thermal
cycle efficiency, the industry leading performance of Rosemount guided
wave radars, DP level transmitters and vibrating fork switches help reduce
risk and provide reliable, maintenance free level control.
Reliability and performance that reduce risk and maintenance
+ Safety system suitable according to IEC 61508
Radar level transmitters
+ Microwave innovations for superior capability to handle challenging applications
+ Heavy-duty probes meet extreme temperature and pressure challenges by providing multiple layers of protection
Vibrating fork and float level switches
+ High temperature capability for reliable alarm and plant protection duties
+ Adjustable switching delay to prevent false switching in turbulent conditions
DP Level transmitters
+ Tuned-SystemTM assemblies optimize results
+ Seamless integration of remote seals, flanges, and manifolds
Saturated steam applications:

Cut time and costs with quick installation
Make savings on design, engineering and procurement
with investment in state of the art technologies
Faster project turnaround
When reducing costs and shortening project schedules are critical,
Rosemount level instruments help you leverage best engineering,
installation and commissioning practices.
+
+
+
Easy to install in new and existing systems
User-friendly guided setup software aids configuration
Simplified commissioning with measure and learn functionality, online help and pre-configured tank shapes
Avoid problems at start-up with instruments
engineered to fit together perfectly
With Emerson, the solution is available from one source. You don’t
have to worry about everything fitting and operating together;
you can obtain a guided wave radar and a bypass chamber that are
designed to work optimally together to provide project start-up with
peace of mind.
+
+
+
+
+
Correct probe and chamber lengths ensured with transmitter and chamber supplied from one source
Prefit in factory to assure no mismatches on site
Installation is easy
Controlled design and manufacture
Global quality and consistency
Worry-free start-up with guided
wave radar and bypass chamber
from one source
Increase safety with redundant measurements
Safety, health and environment at your plant are top
priorities. Rosemount level instrumentation can help
prevent unsafe process conditions and avoid accidents.
The proactive deployment of process alerts, certified
devices and best installation practices adds another
layer of safety and protection.
+
+
Triple redundancy on boilers and feedwater systems is
becoming an industry standard
Combinations of differential pressure and guided
wave radar can meet this requirement
- 2 GWR + 1 DP or
- 2 DP + 1 GWR or
- 3 of the same technology
+ Hydrastep for local and remote indication of steam/
water interface level
+ Hydratect for turbine water induction protection (TWIP)
Designed according to industry standards
+ ASME B31.1 is available
+ Guided wave radars are compliant with boiler standards
EN 12952-9 and EN 12953-11
+ Vibrating fork switches, DP and radar products are safety system compliant devices according to IEC 61508
A Hydrastep electronic
gauging system can be added
for local and remote indication
