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.
The Rosemount 3408 Non-Contacting Radar Level Transmitter is a versatile FMCW radar, which features Smart Echo Supervision™ technology, and is suitable for level measurement and overfill prevention in many industries, including chemical. Smart features save time and maximize efficiency for trouble-free operations, simplifying commissioning, operation and testing. Smart diagnostics help you proactively plan maintenance and optional Bluetooth® connectivity allows convenient configuration and maintenance. Manual or automatic verification at scheduled intervals can be conducted from the control room at any time without process interruptions. Perform proof-testing remotely and in-situ with onboard functionality. NAMUR type tested and third party certified to IEC61508 for use in safety critical applications.
