temperature limit for existing pressure and flow transmitter

HI

I am introducing a colder fluid to an existing process line in which instruments are installed (pressure, temperature, and flow sensors & transmitters). want to do a check that the existing instruments will withstand the new colder temperature. Which engineering/technical document will give me that information. I looked in the datasheet but I did not see a direct answer except for the temperature element data sheet showing the element temperature range.  Any ideas please ?

Thank you

  • Hello,

    For pressure instrumentation, the lower temperature limit will depend on its configuration and how it is installed.  In the various product data sheets, there is a table in the back that lists the process temperature limits.  Below is an excerpt from the Rosemount 3051 Pressure Transmitter product data sheet.  A few examples to highlight from the table:

    • A Rosemount 3051 transmitter with a Silicone based fill fluid can handle process fluids as cold as -40 F (-40 C). 
    • A Rosemount 3051 transmitter equipped with a remote diaphragm seal and Syltherm XLT fill fluid can go as cold as -102 F (-75 C)

    Feel free to contact your local Rosemount Instrumentation representative if you need help decoding your model numbers so that you know what type of fill fluids are in your pressure transmitters. 

    Best regards,
