Upgrading Rosemount 1151 to 3051 Pressure Transmitters
The venerable Rosemount 1151 pressure transmitter was introduced all the way back in 1969. It combined 4–20 mA electronics with capacitance technology. In my first job post college, I worked as a project engineer out of New Orleans on offshore oil & gas platforms...
Ordering Rosemount Measurement Instrumentation Extends to Australia
Online purchasing and support for Rosemount measurement products has been available here in the U.S. A colleague shared some news with me that this store has now expanded to process manufacturers and producers in Australia. Emerson Process Management Australia Online...
What is My Pressure Transmitter’s Calibration Frequency?
Emerson's Burcu Karakulak discuss ways to optimize calibration frequency for pressure transmitters. Their abstract: Save time & resources from performing routine calibration on your pressure transmitters by calculating the expected calibration frequency. You might...
Wireless Multivariable Static and Differential Pressure Measurement
Adding static or differential pressure measurements to a process can be a difficult undertaking with pipe penetrations, instrumentation wiring, and coordination with ongoing operations. In this quick, 1:45 YouTube video, Emerson's Brian Fretschel describes the...
Pressure Transmitters for Nuclear Power Plant Safety Applications
Rosemount pressure measurement instrumentation has been part of nuclear power plants' process automation for more than four decades. The news item from last week, Emerson offers improved safety and performance solutions with new series of nuclear pressure...
Pressure Measurement for Demanding Nuclear Power Applications
The Emerson Exchange originally began more than two decades ago as a user conference, led by the user community, for the PROVOX system. It expanded to become the Fisher-Rosemount Systems User Group, and ultimately the Emerson Global Users Exchange—Emerson Exchange for...
Detecting Fired Heater Flame Loss
The AIChE 2013 Spring Meeting and 9th Global Congress on Process Safety is taking place this week down the road from me in San Antonio, Texas. I just heard the news from Emerson's Tim Olsen, Chair of the AIChE Fuels & Petrochemicals Division, that a paper on...
Streamlined Pressure Transmitter Local Operator Interface
In a post, Continuously Diagnosing the Instrumentation Electrical Loop, we shared some new diagnostics available in the Rosemount Enhanced 3051 Pressure Transmitter. Emerson's Alexander Miller shared some additional information with me about the Local Operator...
How to Incorporate Statistical Process Monitoring
Statistical Process Control (SPC) has long been applied in discrete manufacturing operations as a predictive diagnostic technology. Statistical Process Monitoring (SPM), the continuous process version of SPC, has been applied less often as highlighted by Emerson's Tom...
Detect Compressor Surge By Measuring Outlet Pressure?
Update: Greg has published a post, Checklist for Compressor Surge Control Tips which should give you some things to consider for your centrifugal and axial compressors. Orginal post: It's great to questions from automation professionals from some of my posts built up...
Early Detection of Distillation Column Flooding Conditions
The distillation process is one of the most common means of separating two or more components from a fluid. Ever handy Wikipedia defines it: Distillation is a method of separating mixtures based on differences in volatilities of components in a boiling liquid mixture....
