A Brief Outlook of Rosemount 3051C Pressure Transmitters

• Quick Installations: These pressure transmitters can be configured for a flow, level, and pressure applications. Offered in easy-to-install designs, these pressure transmitters help reduce installation efforts and costs associated with other standard pressure transmitter installations. According to various studies, they enable users to make about 60% savings over regular wired pressure transmitters.
• Improved Accuracy: Under normal operating conditions, this transmitter assures improved reference accuracy of +/- 0.04% with a span down to a 10:1 turndown. This improved accuracy enables drive the total performance to +/- 0.12% of span.
• Increases Work Productivity and Reduces Maintenance Costs: Like other Rosemount 3051 transmitter family, 3051C transmitters are also equipped with advanced features such as power advisory diagnostics, and local operator interface (LOI). The LOI interface makes commissioning easy, and power advisory diagnostics help in quicker detection of integrity issues occurring in an electrical loop. Both these features help boost work productivity and reduce maintenance efforts, and associated costs.   
• Seamless Integration with Accessories: The Rosemount 3051C pressure transmitter takes advantage of the patented coplanar technology, which assures scalability and enables seamless integration with various accessories.
• Advanced Capabilities: The 3051C pressure transmitters are equipped with advanced HART capabilities. They can be availed with HART 5 & HART 7 capabilities. HART 7 is an advanced protocol mainly designed for wireless systems, and is also suited for wired systems. These advanced HART protocols make the transmitters responsive to current and future capabilities.

Why are Rosemount 3051S Smart Series Pressure Transmitters Popular?

• Gain Better Control Over Process: The pressure transmitters feature advanced diagnostics, which help identify abnormal process conditions as well as electrical loop issues. In addition to this, the remote display enables users to access device and process information easily.
• Improved Energy Efficiency: The pressure transmitters feature hermetic SST SuperModule^TM platform that resists line pressure and overpressure, thereby ensuring 0.025% accuracy. The transmitter offers a rangedown of 200:1 that assures reliability as well as application flexibility. When used with flowmeters, these pressure transmitters help track the use of natural gas and steam effectively. If used with annubar flowmeters, these transmitters help reduce the pressure loss by at least 96%.
• Assure Safety of People, Process, and Surroundings: Advanced diagnostics enable to identify errors before they escalate. Remote Display and Interface enables limit user exposure to dangerous heights and hazardous areas.

3051S vs 3051C – What Works for You?

• If accuracy and turndown ratio is your concern it is better to choose 3051S.
• If money is your concern, then it is better to choose 3051C. In short, it is suited for applications, where accuracy and turndown ratio differences may not matter beyond a limit.
