Emerson introduces a new Rosemount® MultiVariable™
Transmitter that simplifies DP flow measurement
The 3051S MultiVariable Transmitter improves productivity and energy management
while enhancing environmental compliance
Emerson Process Management introduces the Rosemount® 3051S MultiVariable™
Transmitter, which measures three variables and provides mass and energy flow output,
reducing the number of devices traditionally required to make DP flow measurement from
ten to one. This multivariable transmitter improves productivity and makes energy
management and environmental compliance easier.
The Rosemount 3051SMV simplifies mass and energy flow measurement, increases
accuracy and provides faster updates through patented, advanced compensation
techniques. The user enters three application parameters and the Engineering
Assistant™ software handles the rest. The 3051SMV provides full compensation of over
25 different parameters to achieve a 5x improvement in flow performance compared to
uncompensated differential pressure flow. This includes Joule-Thomson correction and
sensor matching with Callendar-Van Dusen constants. The 3051SMV updates flow
measurement 22 times per second so users can more effectively track production,
demand, and total usage for process gas, steam, and natural gas. The results are more
accurate billing, immediate detection of anomalies that lead to losses, and optimisation of
product throughput and quality during peaks in demand.
The Rosemount 3051SMV allows users to specify the level of compensation that best
matches the application and can be scaled to optimise flow measurement in four different
applications as follows: full compensation (differential pressure, line pressure, and
temperature measurement) for gas, natural gas or steam, differential and line pressure
measurement for saturated steam, differential pressure and temperature measurement

for liquids or saturated steam and differential pressure measurement for liquids at stable
temperatures.
To achieve even better results, the 3051SMV transmitter can be paired with a Rosemount
primary element, creating the 3051SF flowmeter. The Rosemount 3051SFA Annubar®
Flowmeter requires only a single pipe penetration for installation, minimising costs in
large line sizes. Annubar sensors create less blockage in the pipe than industry standard
orifice plates, leading to an energy cost reduction in pumping, compression and fuel. The
3051SFC Compact Orifice Flowmeter is easily installed between existing flanges with use
of an integral centring ring and minimises straight run requirements with conditioning
technology. The Rosemount 3051SFP Integral Orifice Flowmeter, with self-centring orifice
plate and precision honing, improves accuracy in small line sizes. All Rosemount 3051SF
flowmeters arrive fully configured, leak-tested and ready-to-install, thereby reducing
potential leak points and preventing fugitive emissions by up to 70 per cent for better
protection of the environment.
Rosemount 3051S MultiVariable Transmitters are part of Emerson’s broad range of
intelligent, digital field devices that power the PlantWeb® architecture. Further cost
savings, increased plant availability, and enhanced safety and environmental compliance
are achieved when the transmitters are integrated into the PlantWeb digital plant
architecture.
