Rosemount 5900 Series
Section 2. Overview
2.4 ANTENNAS
The
Rosemount 5900
with horn antenna is designed
for an 8” antenna to be used in small size openings
on fixed roofs tanks.
The 5920 is designed for measurements of a variety
of oil products and chemicals. However, for
bitumen/asphalt and similar products the Parabolic
antenna is recommended.
The
Rosemount 5900
with parabolic antenna
measures level of all types of liquids, from light
products to bitumen/asphalt. The gauge is designed
for mounting on tanks with fixed roofs and has
custody transfer accuracy.
The design of the parabolic antenna provides
extreme tolerance against sticky and condensing
products. The narrow beam of this antenna makes it
very suitable in narrow tanks with internal structures.
The
Rosemount 5900
with still pipe array antenna is
used on tanks with still pipes and with all products
suited for still pipes.
The gauge uses a low-loss radar propagation mode
which virtually eliminates the influence of the still pipe
condition. Measurement is made with highest
accuracy even when the pipe is old, rusty and
covered with deposits.
The Still Pipe Gauge fits 5”, 6", 8", 10" and 12" pipes.
It can be mounted on an existing still pipe and there
is no need to take the tank out of operation during
installation.
There are two versions of the 5900 with still pipe
array antenna: fixed and hinged hatch. The hinged
hatch enables full pipe size product sampling or
verification hand-dips.
