August 23, 2016 - Emerson Process Management introduces Rosemount X-well Technology, a surface sensing temperature measurement solution that eliminates the need for thermowell process penetration when measuring process temperatures in pipe applications. This solution is designed to provide an accurate and repeatable internal process temperature measurement, while eliminating possible leak points and simplifying specification, installation and maintenance.
Rosemount X-well Technology is available in the Rosemount 648 Wireless Temperature Transmitter and Rosemount 0085 Pipe Clamp Sensor Assembly. These components work together to calculate process temperature via the transmitter’s thermal conductivity algorithm. Rosemount X‚Äêwell Technology works by measuring the pipe surface temperature and ambient temperature, and combining this information with an understanding of the thermal conductivity properties of the installation and process piping.
With Rosemount X-well Technology, users can also add temperature measurement points without having to shut down a process. X-well Technology can be installed with a standard pipe clamp procedure and ordinary hand tools, and does not require a skilled contractor.
Applications that can benefit from Rosemount X-well Technology include pipelines, high velocity flows, slurries, heavy particulate fluids, wellheads, clean-in-place processes, high viscosity fluids and harsh processes in the oil & gas, chemical, refining, food and beverage, metals and mining and pulp and paper industries.
