Rosemount 5400 Series
2-2
APPLICATION EXAMPLES
Tanks, vessels, and containers with calm surfaces
Non-contacting radar can also 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
