Transmitter Improves Productivity And Energy Management

Emerson Process Management recently introduced the Rosemount 3051S MultiVariable transmitter which measures three variables and provides mass and energy flow output, reducing the number of devices traditionally required to make DP flow measurement from ten to one. This multivariable transmitter improves productivity and makes energy management and environmental compliance easier.

The Rosemount 3051SMV simplifies mass and energy flow measurement, increases accuracy and provides faster updates through patented, advanced compensation techniques. The user enters three application parameters and the Engineering Assistant software handles the rest. The 3051SMV provides full compensation of over 25 different parameters to achieve a 5x improvement in flow performance compared to uncompensated differential pressure flow. This includes Joule-Thomson correction and sensor matching with Callendar-Van Dusen constants. The 3051SMV updates flow measurement 22 times per second so users can more effectively track production, demand, and total usage for process gas, steam, and natural gas. The results are more accurate billing, immediate detection of anomalies that lead to losses, and optimization of product throughput and quality during peaks in demand.
