Introduction
The Rosemount TankRadar REX System is a monitoring and control
system for tank level gauging. The system can interface various sensors,
such as temperature and pressure sensors, for complete inventory
control.

control.
There is a distributed intelligence in the various units of the system. The
units continuously collect and process information. When a request for
information is received an immediate response is sent with updated
information. The units communicate with each other on a field bus, the
TRL/2 Bus.

No part of the equipment is in actual contact with the product in the tank
and the antenna is the only part of the gauge that is exposed to the tank
atmosphere. The Radar Tank Gauge sends microwaves towards the
surface of the product in the tank. The level is calculated based on the
echo from the surface.

TankRadar REX can measure the level of almost any product, including
bitumen, crude oil, refined products, aggressive chemicals, LPG and
LNG, etc. Using a suitable Tank Connection Unit, the TankRadar REX
System can gauge any type of tank.
