Prothermo NMT539 Average Temperature Converter

Prothermo NMT539 Average Temperature Converter

The Prothermo NMT539 provides a single, intrinsically safe solution for average temperature and water bottom (interface) measurement. Choose the modules you need – temperature probe, water bottom sensor, converter – or combine them together into a single new instrument.

Meets API Standards

The Prothermo NMT539 is installed vertically onto spheres, bullets, cone, dome or floating roof tanks. Measurements are based on API (American Petroleum Institute) Manual of Petroleum Measurement Standard, Chapter 7. It is ideal for high accuracy or custody transfer applications.

 

 

Liquid and Vapor Profiles

The Prothermo NMT539 can contain up to 16 temperature elements. A continuous measurement profile of average liquid and/or average vapor temperature throughout the tank is available by reading the position and temperature of each element.

 

 

 

Water Bottom Sensor

The Prothermo NMT539 can determine the interface between water and petroleum products in the bottom 3 or 6 ft (1 or 2 m) of a tank. Temperature (Pt 100) elements can be set inside of the water bottom sensor so that water bottom functionality does not affect overall temperature measurement.

 

 

Tank Gauging System

Power and local HART communications are provided over a 2-wire, intrinsically safe (i.s.) connection from compatible instruments, such as servo gauges or monitors, and the 4590 Tank Side Monitor (TSM).

 

 

 

Elements/Probe

Converter Compatibility: Pt100, Cu100, Cu90, PtCu100, JPt100 (maximum 16 elements)
With probe: up to 16 Platinum (Pt. 100), Class A elements per IEC PUB 751 1995

Accuracy
