Rosemount X-well Technology is now available on the Rosemount 3144P Temperature Transmitter.The Rosemount™ X-well™ Technology surface sensing temperature measurement solution from Emerson Automation Solution is now available with a Rosemount 3144P transmitter. This new product expands potential application possibilities for X-well Technology in plants and facilities where wired networks are already installed, or where WirelessHART has not yet been deployed.
The technology measures the pipe surface temperature and ambient temperature, and combines this information with an understanding of the thermal conductivity properties of the installation and process piping to produce an accurate process temperature measurement. Measurements are made without requiring any intrusions or penetrations into the process, allowing for quicker and easier installation along with simplified long-term maintenance. Wake frequency calculations are eliminated, as well as time spent determining material compatibility, the right insertion length, and the necessary profile.
Suitable applications include pipelines, small line sizes, high velocity flows, slurries, heavy particulate fluids, wellheads, clean-in-place processes, high viscosity fluids, and harsh processes in the oil and gas, chemical, refining, food and beverage, metals and mining, pulp and paper, and other industries.
Users have found X-well to be a useful replacement for difficult thermowell installations, which often have a wired connection already available and can be reused with the wired version of X-well.
