functioning properly.
Oil Produ cer Decreases Del ivery Cos ts Throu ghImproved Process Con tro l
CHALLENGE
Measurement is needed to monitor inventory andtrigger replacement of material from a supplier200 miles away
If material runs out, production stops
Because of inaccurate measurements, supplywas often ordered too soon and only half loadswere needed
Previous method: Capacitance probes wherecoating impacted reliability and accuracy
SOLUTION
5303 with single flexible probe
Probe end projection was needed because of verylow dielectric
RESULTS
Reduced delivery costs
Reduced operations and maintenance costs withimproved process Control
Decreased safety risks
Application
Perlite solid measurement,
Low dielectric (1.35) andheavy coating.

Robust Level Measu rement Prov ided for Lube OilB lend ing Tank
CHALLENGE
Need reliable device with uninterrupted level reading Base oil with low dielectric, requires heating and
blending using agitation with a pulsed air system
Heating and agitation cause surface turbulence andvapors
SOLUTION
Rosemount 5401 low frequency radar transmitterwith a 6-in. cone
Low frequency signal andcondensation resistant antenna handlecondensing vapors and turbulence
Dual port has better signal to noiseratio
False echo handling software is easyto configure
RESULTS
Reliable level measurement despite turbulence
