5301 Radar Level Transmitter – Rosemount Guided Wave Radar Liquid Level Measurement Device

5301 Radar Level Transmitter – Rosemount Guided Wave Radar Liquid Level Measurement Device

Product Introduction

Rosemount 5301 Radar Level Transmitter. The Rosemount 5301 is a high-performance Guided Wave Radar (GWR) level transmitter designed for accurate and reliable measurement of liquids, slurries, and interfaces in demanding industrial applications. Using advanced time-domain reflectometry (TDR) technology, the 5301 delivers precise level data by sending microwave pulses down a probe and measuring their reflections from the process medium.

Engineered for safety, reliability, and ease of use, the Rosemount 5301 ensures stable performance even under challenging conditions such as high pressure, high temperature, vapor, foam, or turbulence. With its robust design, intuitive interface, and minimal maintenance requirements, it provides long-term operational confidence for industries including oil & gas, chemical, power, water treatment, and pharmaceuticals.

Key Features

• Guided Wave Radar Technology – unaffected by vapor, density, or temperature changes
• High Accuracy & Reliability – precise level and interface measurement in complex conditions
• Robust Construction – suitable for high-pressure and high-temperature environments
• Flexible Probe Options – tailored to different tank sizes, media, and installation needs
• Easy Integration – compatible with industry-standard communication protocols (HART®, FOUNDATION™ fieldbus, etc.)
• Low Maintenance – no moving parts, ensuring long service life and reduced downtime

Typical Applications

Rosemount Radar Level Transmitters are widely used across industries where accurate, reliable, and maintenance-free level measurement is critical. Typical applications include:

1. Oil & Gas – storage tanks, separators, interface measurement in crude oil and water
2. Chemical & Petrochemical – corrosive liquids, pressurized vessels, reactors, distillation columns
3. Power Generation – feedwater tanks, condensate tanks, cooling water systems
4. Water & Wastewater – reservoirs, clarifiers, sludge tanks, pumping stations
5. Food & Beverage – hygienic tanks, process vessels, syrup and liquid sugar storage
6. Pharmaceuticals – clean-in-place (CIP) systems, sterile process tanks, precise batch control
7. Mining & Bulk Solids (for non-contact radar like 5408) – silos, hoppers, powders, and granular materials

FAQ – Rosemount 5301 Radar Level Transmitter

Q1: What type of technology does the Rosemount 5301 use?

A1: The Rosemount 5301 uses Guided Wave Radar (GWR) technology, which sends microwave pulses down a probe and measures reflections from the process medium to determine level.

Q2: What kinds of media can it measure?

A2: It can measure liquids, slurries, and liquid interfaces (e.g., oil-water separation). It is not affected by vapor, foam, or changes in density.

Q3: What is the typical measuring range?

A3: The 5301 can measure up to 35 meters (115 feet), depending on the probe length and installation conditions.

Q4: How accurate is the 5301?

A4: It provides an accuracy of up to ±5 mm, making it suitable for critical process control and inventory management.

Q5: What are the advantages of guided wave radar compared to non-contact radar?

A5: Guided wave radar is ideal for interface measurement and for applications with turbulence, foam, or vapor, where non-contact radar may be less stable.

Q6: In which industries is the 5301 commonly used?

A6: It is widely applied in oil & gas, chemical, power generation, water treatment, and pharmaceuticals.

Q7: What communication protocols are supported?

A7: The 5301 supports HART®, FOUNDATION™ fieldbus, and Modbus for easy integration into control systems.

Q8: Does it require frequent maintenance?

A8: No. The 5301 has no moving parts, which minimizes wear and reduces maintenance needs.

Q9: Can it handle high temperature and pressure?

A9: Yes. The 5301 is designed for high-pressure and high-temperature environments, making it suitable for demanding process conditions.

Q10: How does the 5301 differ from the 5302?

A10: The 5302 offers higher accuracy (±3 mm) and a longer measuring range (~45 m), making it better for more complex or critical applications.
