Transmitter Overview
Emulsion layers
Sometimes there is an emulsion layer (mix of the products) between the two products which,
depending on its characteristics, will affect interface measurements. Please consult factory for
guidelines on how to handle emulsion layers.
2.4 Application examples
The Rosemount 3308 Series Transmitter is suited for aggregate (total) level measurements on a
wide range of liquids, semi-liquids, and liquid to liquid interfaces.
Moreover, the reliable and accurate guided wave radar technology offers a versatile solution
that is virtually unaffected by process conditions such as temperature, pressure, vapor gas
mixtures, density, turbulence, bubbling/boiling, varying dielectric media, pH, and viscosity.
Production,
storage, and buffer
tanks
The Rosemount 3308 Series
Transmitter is ideal for production
and shorter storage or buffer
tanks that contain oil, gas
condensate, water, or chemicals.
Low pressure
separators
The Rosemount 3308 Series
Transmitter can measure both
level and interface level in for
example separator applications.
Waste tanks and
sump pits
The Rosemount 3308 Series
Transmitter is a good choice for
waste tanks and underground
tanks, such as sump pits.
Chamber
applications
The Rosemount 3308 Series
Transmitter is a good choice for
both chamber and pipe
installations.
