Transmitter Overview
2.2 Application examples
Tanks, vessels, and containers with calm surfaces
Non-contacting radar can be used in less challenging applications,
such as storage and buffer tanks:
It is easy to mount, maintenance-free, and highly accurate
Gives precise monitoring and control of the process
Overfill and underfill detection
The Rosemount 5400 Series can be advantageous in risk reduction
systems:
Continuous measurement may reduce or simplify proof-tests
Multiple 5400s can be used in the same tank
Corrosives
Radar measurement is ideal for most corrosive products, such as
caustics, acids, solvents, and many other chemicals:
Does not contact the process product
Wide material offering such as PTFE, Alloy C-276 and Alloy 400
Works well in non-metallic tanks also
Sticky, viscous, and crystallizing products
The best-in-class Rosemount 5400 Series provides an accurate and
reliable level reading with difficult products, such as resins and
adhesives:
Non-contacting is best practice
Almost unaffected by coating and build-up because of the
uniquely designed condensation resistant antennas
Sludges and slurries
Applications like mud, pulp-stock, and lime slurries are ideal for
non-contacting measurement:
Immune to splashing and solids content
Unaffected by density changes
No re-calibration, no or little maintenance
