Safety is one of the major concerns for the Rosemount TankRadar® Rex system.
The Rex gauge itself is designed to meet the highest safety requirements, and to contribute
to increased safety level in your LNG plant.
SIL 2 functional safety
Rosemount TankRadar® Rex has been assessed by an independent third party and considered
suitable for use in SIL 2 safety functions according to IEC 61508/61511. The decision on
the usage of proven-in-use devices, however, is always with the end-user.
TÜV-tested for overfill protection
Rosemount TankRadar® Rex is TÜV-tested and approved for overfill protection according to
the German WHG regulations. The Rex gauge is also designed to meet the API standards.
This means that no separate, independent overfill alarm switch is required. The function
is based on the relay outputs, by using either one or a combination of two, for overfill
or dry run protection.
Designed for safe service
The gauge is equipped with a fire-proof ball valve between the transmitter head and
the cone antenna which is located inside the tank. If needed, the transmitter head which
contains all electronics can be switched without taking the LNG tank out of service.
