HART Communication Protocol 3051CD Water Pressure Transmitter Made of 316L Stainless Steel Wetted Materials

3051CD Water Pressure Transmitter

Introduction:

The Rosemount 3051CD is a high-performance differential pressure transmitter designed for precise measurement in applications like water pressure monitoring, flow, and level control. It’s part of Emerson’s 3051 series and is widely used in industries such as water treatment, chemical processing, and energy.

Technical Parameters: 

Key Differentiators
• 3051CD: Ideal for differential pressure in water systems, with excellent stability and diagnostics.
• 3051T: More compact, but lower accuracy and turndown—better for simpler setups.
• 3051S: Premium model with SuperModule™ platform, 200:1 turndown, and SIL2/3 certification for safety-critical environments.

Applications

1. Water & Wastewater Applications

The 3051CD ensures smooth system operation by monitoring filter condition, providing accurate pump discharge pressure readings, and enabling precise level measurement in tanks through hydrostatic pressure detection.

2. Energy & Power Generation

It supports key control points such as boiler drum levels and feedwater flow, delivering stable pressure readings critical to safety and efficiency in utility operations.

3. Oil & Gas Operations

In upstream and midstream processes, the transmitter monitors pressure across separators, flow elements, and wellheads, even in rugged environments requiring long-term stability.

4. Chemical Processing

From reactor pressure control to distillation column monitoring, the 3051CD provides dependable differential pressure measurements vital for maintaining product quality and safety compliance.

5. Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences

It helps maintain critical conditions in cleanrooms and bioreactors by offering responsive pressure and level control that supports both batch and continuous production.

6. Food & Beverage Production

In hygienic systems such as Clean-In-Place (CIP) processes, the transmitter measures fluid pressure and tank level to support consistent product handling and sanitation.

7. Core Functional Roles

Across all sectors, the 3051CD excels in flow calculation using orifice plates or venturis, tank level monitoring via hydrostatic pressure, and early detection of filter blockages or impulse line issues to minimize unplanned downtime.
