Introduction
Reactor vessels
The innovative design of the Rosemount 5400 makes it an excellent
choice for the most difficult applications, such as reactor vessels:
Unique circular polarization provides greater mounting
flexibility – no tank wall clearance distance is needed
Direct measurement – independent of most variations in
process conditions, such as density, dielectric, vapor, temperature,
and pressure
Can handle turbulent conditions created by agitation,
top-filling, or process reaction
Mounting flexibility
The versatile Rosemount 5400 can be used in mounting
configurations other than standard nozzles:
Fits most existing pipes: 2- to 8-in. (50-200 mm)
Easy to isolate from the process – use a ball-valve
Still-pipes reduce the influence of foam, turbulence, and tank
obstructions. Ball-valves can be used on both still-pipes and nozzles.
Underground tanks
The mounting flexibility of the Rosemount 5400 makes it an
excellent choice for many underground tanks:
Easy top-mounting
Can handle long narrow nozzles up to 6 ft (2 m) as long as they
are clean and smooth, and pipes
Unaffected by dirty products with solids content
