When the Heat is on, Control with Wireless
Jim Cahill
Emerson’s Michael Pearson , a member of the Rosemount Temperature team, provides today’s guest post and highlights how wireless instrumentation can avoid issues with process-caused damaged wiring and other causes. Many temperature measurement challenges exist when monitoring high temperature assets including heat damage, moving equipment, and high electromagnetic interference (EMI). North Star Bluescope Steel had…

Check out the Latest Rosemount Measurement Validation Diagnostic Video
James Schmidt
Measurement Validation http://www.rosemount.com/measurementvalidation/ Sometimes you need to guess whether you need to shut down a process or simply swap out a sensor. With Emerson's new Measurement Validation diagnostic, you can make the distinction, avoiding the cost and risk associated with unnecessary shutdowns. By predicting on-scale failures you can increase plant safety and productivity. Make your move. Mor…

Celebrating 10 Years of the Rosemount 3051S in Action
Jim Cahill
The old cliché, “time flies when you’re having fun” applies to the many Emerson folks who had a hand in the development, launch, and widespread use of the Rosemount 3051S Series of pressure, DP [differential pressure] level, and DP flow transmitters. Congratulations on this milestone! The continued advance of technology as predicted by Moore’s Law has also applied to instrumentation. In the years leading up to the…

Guidance for Radar Level Measurement Applications
Jim Cahill
Recently we've had a few level measurement-related posts--one on a refinery desalter vessel application and another on guided wave radar setup, calibration, and diagnostics . To continue on this theme, I've discovered an article, Determining the level best in radar measurement , on the U.K.-based ConnectingIndustry.com website. Emerson's Sarah Parker highlights contacting and non-contacting radar level measurement application…
