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
