❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the Rosemount 3051CA Absolute Pressure Transmitter used for?
A1: It is designed to measure absolute pressure in gases, steam, and liquids, ensuring accurate and stable readings in demanding industrial applications.
Q2: How is the 3051CA different from the 3051CG?
A2: The 3051CA measures absolute pressure, while the 3051CG measures gauge pressure. Both share the coplanar design, but they serve different measurement needs.
Q3: What does “coplanar design” mean?
A3: The coplanar design allows the transmitter to be easily integrated with manifolds and accessories, providing flexibility for flow, level, and pressure applications.
Q4: What industries typically use the 3051CA?
A4: It is widely used in oil & gas, power generation, chemical processing, and water treatment, where precise absolute pressure measurement is critical.
Q5: What are the key benefits of the 3051CA?
A5:
- High accuracy and long-term stability
- Flexible installation with coplanar platform
- Reliable performance in harsh environments
Q6: Can the 3051CA be used for vacuum measurement?
A6: Yes. Since it measures absolute pressure, it is suitable for vacuum and low-pressure applications where gauge transmitters are not accurate.
Q7: What communication protocols are available?
A7: The 3051CA supports 4–20 mA HART®, and depending on configuration, can also be ordered with FOUNDATION Fieldbus or Profibus PA.
