Reference Data
The probe length to use for a Rosemount 9901 chamber can be calculated with this formula:
Side-and-side dimension:
Probe length=Centre-to-centre dim 19 in. (48 cm)
Side-and-bottom dimension:
Probe length=Centre-to-centre dim 4 in. (10 cm)
Use a centering disc the same diameter as the chamber if the probe length >3.3 ft. (1 m). See
“Centering discs” on page 118 for which disc to use.
For additional information, see the Rosemount 9901 Chamber for Process Level Instrumentation
Product Data Sheet (document number 00813-0100-4601).
Existing chamber
A Rosemount 3308 Series Transmitter is the perfect replacement in an existing displacer
chamber. Proprietary flanges are offered, enabling use of existing chambers to make installation
easy.

Considerations when changing to 3308 Series:

The 3308 Series flange choice and probe length must be correctly matched to the
chamber. Both standard ANSI and EN (DIN), as well as proprietary chamber flanges, are
available. See
“Proprietary Flanges” on page 137 to identify the proprietary flanges.

See “Centering discs” on page 118 for which disc to use.

See Table A-6 on page 117 for guidelines on the required probe length.
