Radar Tank Gauging System
The Rosemount Tank Gauging System is world leading in tank management, based on the non-contact, reliable and maintenance-free radar level gauges.
The Rosemount solution integrates easily with your existing network, DCS or host computer system. With a TankRadar® Rex gauge it is possible to emulate other vendors´ level devices, independent of measurement technology, thereby enabling easy system upgrade.
Rosemount TankRadar® gauges are used by major oil companies for storage tank gauging within Tank Terminals and Refineries. The system provides complete functions for:

Rosemount TankRadar® gauges are also used for LNG, Metallurgic and Wave measurements.
Measures All Important Data
The Tank Gauging System includes level, temperature, pressure, water interface detection, mass and volume calculation for a wide range of products, ranging from propane and butane to asphalt. Data is presented via the TankMasterTM software, which is a powerful tool for advanced tank inventory management.

Radar Tank Gauging System Overview
The Radar gauge on top of everything
The TankRadar Rex Gauge series is designed to deliver tank quantity data with maximum reliability and accuracy for all Oil & petrochemical applications, with a minimum of maintenance requirements and with the easiest possible installation and setup procedures.
The TankRadar Rex system
The TankRadar Rex system is as flexible as it is robust. Depending on the setup, customer may benefit most from single stand-alone tank radar with a local readout or from a complete system solution handling hundreds of tanks and distributing data on a global level via the Internet.
The Rex gauge comes in four versions, each designed for maximum performance within its specific field
Horn antenna gauge RTG 3920 – For Fixed Cone Roof Tanks, 8” Nozzle Installation
Parabolic antenna gauge RTG 3930 – Fox Fixed Cone Roof Tanks Manway
Still-pipe gauge RTG 3950 – For Still Pipe Installation
LPG/LNG gauge RTG 3960 – Pressurised Tanks Application.
Multiple Spot Thermometer with Water Level Sensor
Product temperature and water-bottom level are important parameters for accurate quantity measurement in liquid bulk storage tanks. To provide a tank temperature profile and average temperature values, the Multiple Spot Thermometer (MST) measures the temperature with a number of Pt 100 spot elements placed at different heights
Pressure Transmitter
Rosemount 3051, a high performance pressure transmitter, is the standard pressure transmitter supplied with the TankRadar Rex system for liquids. However, TankRadar Rex can interface to any pressure transmitter with a standard output of 4-20 mA or HART. The 4-20 mA signal is converted from analog to digital in the Rex gauge
TankMaster - The Tank Intelligence software
TankMaster is a complete Windows-based software package designed to supervise the TankRadar Rex system. TankMaster handle the setup, calculation and output stages of your Tank Intelligence solution.
The benefits include:
· Quick interactive setup and configuration of gauges, tank parameters and communication devices
· User-friendly tank content and activities display.
· Alarm and event status continuously checked and reported.
· Increased plant host system capacity and availability.
· All tank data stored in a dedicated database.
· Runs on a standard PC with Windows NT.
· Complete inventory and custody transfer functions.
· TankMaster is fully OPC-compatible and communicates with SCADA/DCS systems, plant host computers, and Microsoft Office programs via OPC or the Modbus protocol
Data Acquisition Unit
The Data Acquisition Unit (DAU) is used together with the Rex gauge for local readout and for connection of temperature sensors, pressure transmitters, on/off switches etc when more inputs/outputs are required than is available in the RTG
Remote Display Unit RDU 40
The RDU 40 is a robust display unit for outdoor use in hazardous area. It displays measured and calculated tank content values, such as level, average temperature, volume, signal strength, etc. The values can be displayed in lists or as single values in very easily readable 25 mm (1 inch) solid fonts. The operator can set up a user-defined window where the most useful information is presented. This window will be shown as the default view.
Field Communication Unit
The Field Communication Unit (FCU) is a data concentrator that continuously polls data from field devices such as Radar Tank Gauges, Data Acquisition Units and Remote Display Units and stores them in a buffer memory. Whenever a request for data is received from the control system, the FCU can immediately send data from a group of tanks from the updated buffer memory. The FCU acts as a slave on the group bus and as a master on the field bus. The unit has six communication ports. The ports can be individually configured as either group bus ports or as field bus ports.
Field Bus Modem
Field Bus Modem is used to connect the TankMaster PC to the TRL/2 Bus. It translates the signal from
RS-232/ USB to the TRL/2 Bus, and vice versa. The Field Bus Modem is delivered with a cable for connection to the PC and an AC/DC converter power supply
