Level Measurement in IBC totes or Plastic Tanks
Accurate control of inventory with radar level sensors to ensure that operations are running smoothly
Non-contacting radar sensors for simple level measurement applications
Plastic tanks or IBC totes are small containers that can be used to store water or chemical additives, but also to handle and transport disposable waste. Some of the challenges that applications using IBC totes or plastic tanks can present are the lack of tank connection and the presence of corrosive media. The Rosemount 1208 Level and Flow Transmitter features non-contacting radar level measurement technology, which allows the radar waves to penetrate the plastic roof easily, so the sensor is not in contact with the media and there is no need for a tank connection. The radar sensor has a compact form and narrow FMCW 80 GHz beam angle that makes it suitable for installation in space-limited applications.

Product Solutions
The Rosemount 1208 Series provides accurate and reliable level measurement and open channel flow calculations. The radar level transmitter has been designed to solve challenges in water and wastewater, utilities and basic chemical applications. The Rosemount 1208 uses continuous non-contacting radar technology and features Smart Echo Supervision™ technology, in a compact PVDF housing with drinking water and food grade approvals. Its encapsulated design also withstands outdoor conditions and is fully submersible over extended periods of time. The Rosemount 1208 Series communicates via Bluetooth® wireless technology, 4-20 mA HART® or IO-link and has a broad range of mounting accessories, making it easily integrate into both new and existing systems.
- With Smart Echo Supervision™ technology, Rosemount Non-Contacting Radars automatically track all echoes, including those from obstructions in the vessel, and distinguish them from the real product surface echo. This ensures the true product level is reliably and accurately reported.
- Compact and robust design to withstand harsh environments, designed for outdoor conditions, submersion and hazardous location installations
- Simple configuration over your tablet/mobile device via Bluetooth® wireless technology
