Rosemount Tank Radar

What Rosemount Tank Radar does

Rosemount Tank Radar is a marine tank gauging product brand under Emerson Electric Co.'s Measurement Instrumentation division, headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden. The brand provides high-accuracy level, temperature, and pressure measurement systems for marine vessels, including container ships, tankers, and bulk carriers, with particular emphasis on alternative fuel applications (LNG, methanol, LPG) that require IGF Code compliance. Its product portfolio includes the Rosemount 520 pressure-based level transmitter, the 5300 guided wave radar transmitter, the 5408 and 3408 non-contacting radar transmitters, and the Aperio Tank Level Gauging Control and Monitoring System, all featuring all-welded titanium housings engineered for harsh marine environments. The portfolio spans pressure-based hydrostatic, radar-based (FMCW), electro-pneumatic, and point level measurement methodologies, enabling flexible configuration across alternative fuel, conventional fuel, ballast, and service tanks.

The brand operates with approximately 32 employees and reaches global customers through Emerson's worldwide measurement instrumentation sales organization via direct enterprise sales and a consultative 'Contact us' / 'Chat with an Expert' model, complemented by an online product catalog. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of precision level transmitters and integrated systems, with a secondary revenue stream from lifecycle services including installation, calibration, maintenance, and technical support. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based, reflecting the customized, specification-driven nature of marine shipbuilding and fleet retrofit projects. The brand's differentiators center on non-contact radar measurement unaffected by temperature, pressure, vapors, foam, or corrosive contents, mass-based measurement independent of temperature changes, and long-term stability requiring adjustment only every five years.

Core offering

Rosemount Tank Radar manufactures and sells marine tank gauging systems, including radar-based and pressure-based level transmitters for measuring liquid levels, temperature, and pressure in marine vessels. The portfolio covers applications such as alternative fuel (LNG, methanol, LPG) tanks, conventional fuel, ballast, and service tanks, with products like the Rosemount 520, 5300, 5408, and 3408 level transmitters integrated with the Aperio control and monitoring system for real-time tank management.

Product overview

Rosemount Tank Radar offers a comprehensive portfolio of marine tank gauging solutions built around its core Rosemount™ Level Transmitter family. The portfolio includes pressure-based technology (Rosemount 520) and radar-based technologies (Rosemount 5408 and 5300 non-contacting and guided wave radar, and Rosemount 3408). These transmitters integrate with the Aperio™ Tank Level Gauging Control and Monitoring System to deliver real-time monitoring for alternative fuel, conventional fuel, ballast, and service tank applications. The solutions support multiple measurement methodologies including pressure-based, radar-based, electro-pneumatic, and point level measurement to address diverse marine vessel requirements.
