Typical Applications of Differential Pressure Transmitters and Popular Rosemount Models

  1. Flow Measurement
    • Recommended Model: Rosemount 3051CD
      • High accuracy (±0.075%), 100:1 turndown ratio. Ideal for orifice/venturi flow measurement in petrochemical and water supply pipelines.
  2. Liquid Level Monitoring
    • Recommended Model: Rosemount 3051TG
      • High static pressure design (up to 137.89 bar), optional tantalum/Hastelloy diaphragms. Suitable for corrosive media in oil/chemical tanks.
  3. Industrial Boilers
    • Recommended Model: Rosemount 3051TA
      • Resists high-temperature steam environments. Designed for steam drum water-level monitoring in power plants, supports WirelessHART.
  4. Process Control
    • Recommended Model: Rosemount 3051CG/GP
      • Coplanar flange design saves space; integrated valve manifolds simplify piping. Ideal for filter/valve pressure-drop monitoring.
  5. Filtration Monitoring
    • Recommended Model: Rosemount 3051DP
      • Compact structure with strong vibration resistance. Detects clogging in water treatment/HVAC systems in real time.
  6. Valve/Pump Performance
    • Recommended Model: Rosemount 3051L
      • Level-specific design with flat diaphragm for direct contact with viscous fluids. Optimized for pump efficiency analysis.
  7. Sanitary Industries
    • Recommended Model: Rosemount 3051S
      • Hygienic 316L stainless steel material, Tri-Clamp connection. Complies with NSF standards for pharma/food industries.
  8. Harsh Media Handling
    • Recommended Model: Rosemount 3051TG with Hastelloy C Diaphragm
      • Isolation technology handles corrosive acids/crystallizing liquids. Withstands up to 4,000 psi pressure.
  9. HVAC Systems
    • Recommended Model: Rosemount 3051CD Economical Line
      • Cost-effective solution for duct pressure/air velocity monitoring.
  10. Density/Interface Detection
    • Recommended Model: Rosemount 3051HP
      • High-precision absolute pressure measurement (±0.04%). Identifies liquid density/liquid-liquid interfaces in separation processes.

Key Selection Factors

  • Media Compatibility:
    • Corrosive media: Opt for tantalum/Hastelloy diaphragms (Rosemount 3051TG).
    • Viscous fluids: Use flat-diaphragm direct mounting (Rosemount 3051L).
  • Environmental Requirements:
    • Explosion-proof: SIL2/3-certified models (e.g., Rosemount 3051S).
    • Submersible: IP68-rated models (e.g., Rosemount 3051TA).
  • Accuracy vs. Cost:
    • Routine control: Rosemount 3051CD (cost-effective).
    • Precision tasks: Rosemount 3051HP/3051S (high accuracy).
