Environmental Tolerance:
· Operating Temperature: -196°C to 400°C
· Operating Pressure: Full vacuum to 345 bar (5000 psi)
Safety & Certification:
Certified for SIL 2 (IEC 61508), making it suitable for applications with high safety integrity requirements.
Communication Protocols:
4-20 mA/HART®, Foundation™ Fieldbus, Modbus®
Main Application Scenarios
The robust performance of the Rosemount 5300 makes it an ideal choice for many critical and demanding applications:
· Oil & Gas: Level and interface measurement in lubricant feed tanks, separators, and sumps.
· Power Industry: Level monitoring in high-pressure heater systems in thermal power plants, especially under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions.
· Chemical & Refining: Reliable level measurement in complex reactors, columns, and storage tanks.
Note:
In applications where contamination risk exists (such as coating that may cause bridging between the two rods of a twin-lead probe or connection between the inner rod and outer tube of a coaxial probe), a single-lead probe is preferred.
For applications involving highly viscous or sticky liquids, a PTFE-guided wave probe is recommended. Regular cleaning may also be necessary.
