Guided Wave Radar is a continuous level measurement technique that offers several advantages. It is virtually unaffected by temperature, pressure and vapor gas mixtures. It has no moving parts and therefore requires little or no maintenance. It measures the level directly and is therefore unaffected by most fluid property changes, including but not limited to density and viscosity changes. Additionally, the Rosemount 5300 Series offers the following benefits:

Higher measurement reliability and capability resulting in improved process uptime through       Direct Switch Technology       Probe End Projection       Smart Galvanic Interface       Advanced EchoLogics and Diagnostics Robust design resulting in reduced operating costs and safety       Dual Compartment aluminum or stainless steel housing with integrated Cooling Fins       Interchangeable transmitter head without opening the tank and no matching between head and probes       No mechanical moving parts and no need for re-calibration Easy commissioning resulting in reduced startup costs through       Multivariable, Level and Interface from the same transmitter       User-friendly configuration tool Rosemount Radar Master with Measure-and-Learn       Rotate housing in any direction       Easy to access terminals and loop-powered       Single assembly for quick installation       Existing tank openings and cabling may be used In addition, the 5300 has high application flexibility.

Accuracy in saturated steam applications

Saturated steam under high pressure slows down radar wave propagation giving an incorrect distance. This, together with varying pressure and/ or temperature is a challenge. The Rosemount 5300 with Dynamic Vapor Compensation (DVC) automatically compensates for this and maintains the level accuracy.

Level gauging in chambers

Guided Wave Radar is the ideal choice for measurements in chambers. It is unaffected by density changes, chamber configuration and has no moving parts which minimizes maintenance. This makes it an easy and reliable substitute for displacer technology.
