How to Install a Rosemount Non-Contacting Radar Level Transmitter

Jim Cahill

Here’s a quick one-minute YouTube video, Rosemount 5408 How To – Mechanical Installation showing the mechanical installation of a Rosemount 5408 Non-Contacting Radar level transmitter. Not much to say other than it looks very straight forward. Visit the Non-Contacting Radar section on Emerson.com for more on this technology and applications to continuously measure levels in tanks and vessels. You can also…

Reducing Level Detector Proof Testing Complexity

Jim Cahill

Each safety instrumented function (SIF) including its sensor, logic solver and final control element must be periodically tested to make sure it will perform as designed in the event of a safety demand. These “proof tests” help to uncover and failure conditions which may have developed since the last proof test or safety demand. A new whitepaper, Reducing the Complexity of Proof-Testing with New Generation Point Level…

Guided Wave Radar for Tight Boiler Steam Drum Level Control

Jim Cahill

Matthew Brummer Boiler steam drum level control is critical in electrical power generation. Too high a level can mean water aspirating into the steam lines and causing damage to the turbine generator blades downstream. Too low a level can cause the boiler to dry and overheat. In a Power magazine article, Controlling Boiler Level When Operating Conditions Change , Emerson’s Matthew Brummer compares different level…

Measuring Sediment Buildup in Process Vessels and Tanks

Jim Cahill

Some processes, such as oil & gas production, not only have to measure liquid levels but sometimes must measure sediment levels that can come along in the production stream and settle in vessels and tanks. This quick, 2:38 “How To” YouTube video, How Does the Rosemount Sand Switch Functionality Work? , shows how to change the settings in a Rosemount 2140 vibrating fork level detector from measuring liquids, to measuring…

Remote Proof Testing Safety Level Switches

Jim Cahill

One of the necessities in managing safety instrumented systems throughout the IEC 61511 safety lifecycle is to perform periodic proof tests on the components in a safety instrumented function to verify proper function. A short 2:44 YouTube video, How to Remotely Proof-Test the Rosemount 2140:SIS shows how this proof testing can be performed remotely for safety level switches to save time & costs and reduce risk. …
