Frequently asked questions on Rosemount TankRadar®

Q: Are the microwaves used by the Rosemount TankRadar^® hazardous to your health?
A: Not at all. Only 0.5 mW is emitted from the gauge. As a comparison direct sunlight accounts for 100 mW/cm2 , a cellular phone for1000 mW.

Q: Is radar technology for level gauging expensive?
A: Due to the technology the system is virtually maintenance free and will be a very good investment over it's lifecycle (more than 20 years). Purchase price varies of course depending on application and volumes but is normally slightly higher than servo gauges. After 3-5 years a Rosemount Radar is always cheaper than a servo gauge since the customer doesn't have to spend any money on spare parts to keep his system accurate and functional.

Q: Can Rosemount guarantee no drift of accuracy after let's say 10 years?
A: Yes, since the instrument has an internal digital reference without any measurable drift the instrument will stay accurate over it's entire lifetime.
