FAQ – Rosemount 3051SFC Gas Flow Gauge

Q1: What is the Rosemount 3051SFC Gas Flow Gauge?

A1: It is a compact differential pressure flow meter designed for accurate measurement of gas, steam, and liquid. It integrates a high-performance transmitter with a conditioning orifice plate to ensure reliable results even in short straight-pipe installations.

Q2: How does the 3051SFC measure gas flow?

A2: The device uses the differential pressure principle. As gas passes through the conditioning orifice plate, a pressure drop occurs. The transmitter measures this pressure difference and converts it into a flow signal.

Q3: What makes the 3051SFC different from traditional orifice plate flow meters?

A3: Unlike traditional orifice plates that require long straight pipe runs, the 3051SFC’s conditioning orifice design allows accurate measurement with only 2D upstream and 2D downstream straight pipe lengths, saving space and installation costs.

Q4: What types of gases can it measure?

A4: The 3051SFC can measure a wide range of gases, including natural gas, compressed air, nitrogen, oxygen, and process gases. It is also suitable for measuring steam and liquids.

Q5: What industries typically use the 3051SFC?

A5: It is widely used in oil & gas, chemical, power generation, refining, and general industrial applications where compact, accurate, and reliable flow measurement is required.

Q6: Does the 3051SFC provide mass flow measurement?

A6: The 3051SFC itself provides differential pressure-based volumetric flow. For compensated mass flow (including pressure and temperature), the Rosemount 3095MFC multivariable transmitter is recommended.

Q7: How is the 3051SFC installed?

A7: It is designed for easy installation with minimal straight pipe requirements. The integrated design reduces the need for separate primary elements and simplifies commissioning.

Q8: What communication protocols are available?

A8: The 3051SFC supports industry-standard protocols such as HART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus, and WirelessHART, ensuring compatibility with modern control systems.
