Emerson Transmitter Certified For Safety-Critical Applications
June 12, 2014
Rosemount GWR level transmitters are certified to IEC 61508 for safety instrumented functions up to SIL 3.
Emerson Process Management’s Rosemount 5300 Guided Wave Radar (GWR) level transmitters are certified to IEC 61508 for safety instrumented functions up to SIL 3. Companies in the oil and gas production, refining, petrochemical, chemical and power industries can utilize the 5300 Series GWR for safety-critical level applications such as overfill prevention and dry pump protection.
The functional safety assessment was performed by the independent global organization Exida. It covered SIL 2 rated safety applications in a single configuration, and SIL 3 rated safety applications in redundant mode. The certification means that the Rosemount 5300 GWR is suitable for continuous level measurement in safety instrumented functions up to SIL 3, as defined in IEC 61511 for applications in the process industry..
The Rosemount 5300 Series is a two-wire GWR for challenging level and interface measurements on liquids, slurries and solids.
Many facilities handle dangerous processes and products on a daily basis. Keeping everything under control demands well-trained people working with the best equipment.
