Rosemount 3308
PRELIMINARY
Process Temperature and Pressure Rating
Process Temperature
Final rating depends on flange and O-ring
selection. Table A-1 on page A-4 gives
the temperature ranges for standard tank
seals with different O-ring materials.
Notes:
• The maximum product temperature is at the lower part of the flange
• The maximum temperature for the Remote Housing Connection at the vessel connection point is
302 °F(150 °C)
ASME / ANSI Flange Rating
316L SST Flanges according to ASME B16.5 Table 2-2.3. Max. 302 °F/580 psig (150 °C/40 bar)
EN Flange Rating
1.4404 according to EN 1092-1 material group 13E0. Max. 302 °F/580 psig (150 °C/40 bar)
Fisher & Masoneilan
Flange Rating
316L SST Flanges according to ASME B16.5 Table 2-2.3. Max. 302 °F/580 psig (150 °C/40 bar)
JIS Flange Rating
316L SST Flanges according to JIS B2220 material group 2.3. Max. 302 °F/580 psig (150 °C/40 bar)
Tri-Clamps
Rating
Maximum pressure is 16 bar for 1.5 in. (37.5 mm) and 2 in. (50 mm) housing; and 10 bar for 3 in. (75 mm)
and 4 in. (100 mm) housing. The final rating depends on the clamp and gasket.
Plate Design
Certain models of flanged Alloy and PTFE covered probes have a tank connection design with a protective
flange plate of the same material as the probe and with a backing flange in 316L / EN 1.4404. The
protective flange plate prevents the backing flange from being exposed to the tank atmosphere
For Alloy C-276 and Alloy 400, probes with flange plate design is available up to Class 300/PN 40.
For PTFE, probes with flange plate design is available up to Class 150/PN 16
Flange Connection Rating
See Table A-2 for the conditions used for flange strength calculations
Interface Measurements
Considerations
The Rosemount 3308 is a good choice
for measuring the interface of oil and
water, or other liquids with significant
dielectric differences. It is also possible to
measure interfaces with a Rosemount
3308 in applications where the probe is
fully submerged in the liquid. If interface
is to be measured, follow these criteria:
• The dielectric constant of the upper
product must be known and should
not vary. The Radar Configuration
Tools software has a built-in dielectric
constant calculator to assist the user
in determining the dielectric constant
of the upper product
• The dielectric constant of the upper
product must have a lower dielectric
constant than the lower product to have a distinct reflection
• The difference between the dielectric constants for the two products must be larger than 10
• Max. dielectric constant for the upper product is 10 for the coaxial probe and 5 for twin lead probes
• The upper product thickness must be larger than 8 in. (0.2 m) for the flexible twin lead probe;
4 in. (0.1 m) for the rigid twin lead, and coaxial probes in order to distinguish the echoes of the two
liquids
• Sometimes there is an emulsion layer (mix of the products) between the two products which can affect
interface measurements. For guidelines on emulsion situations, consult your local Emerson Process
