Combining liquid level measurement and interface measurement

A 5300 transmitter can simultaneously measure the upper liquid level surface and lower product interface of storage tanks with two types of products (such as separators, settling tanks, etc.). This reduces the number of openings in the storage tank. Use a 5300 transmitter with a single cable/pole for reliable interface measurement in crude oil and other liquids that are prone to accumulation.

Better measurement performance in liquefied gas applications

The Rosemount 5300 requires almost no maintenance and is not affected by turbulence and steam, making it an ideal choice for liquefied gas applications. The transmitter head can be maintained without opening the can. Excellent performance enables reliable operation in LNG, NGL, LPG, and anhydrous ammonia storage tanks.

Advantages of using underground storage tanks

The waveguide rod is not affected by high or narrow openings or nearby interferences. This makes 5300 an ideal choice for underground storage tanks with limited installation areas.

Minimize risks in the most extreme environments

The guided wave radar technology in 5300 includes multiple layers of protection to ensure stable performance in applications such as high-temperature and high-pressure storage tanks and bypass pipes, refinery distillation towers, and power feedwater tanks. Measurement is not affected by density changes, low reflection media, or mechanical structures of bypass pipes and nozzles.

Solid state measurement performance

The Rosemount 5303 is equipped with a flexible single cable waveguide rod that can measure solid material levels with a dielectric constant as low as 1.4. The measurement range can reach 160 ft (50 m), and the transmitter has strong EMI performance. At the same time, there are special waveguide rods available for selection under heavy load conditions. 5300 can measure solids such as powders, particles, plastics, etc., such as PVC, cement, fly ash, grains, etc.

Measurement in containers with turbulence, steam, and mechanical structural interferences

The Rosemount 5300 can provide continuous liquid level data, which other products cannot achieve. By using direct switching technology, the strength of the echo signal reflected back from the liquid surface is 2-5 times that of other guided wave radars. Therefore, under measurement conditions with interferences, waveguide coating, steam, and turbulence, 5300 is the best choice.

Accuracy in saturated steam applications

Saturated steam under high pressure slows down the propagation of radar waves, resulting in incorrect distance information. In addition, the constantly changing pressure and/or temperature make measurement very difficult. The Rosemount 5300 has Dynamic Vapor Compensation (DVC) function, which can automatically compensate for steam and ensure liquid level accuracy.

Liquid level gauge installed on bypass pipe

Guided wave radar is an ideal choice for measuring bypass pipes. It is not affected by density changes or bypass pipe structures, and has no movable parts, thus minimizing maintenance work to the greatest extent possible. This makes it a simple and reliable ideal alternative to float technology.
