This new tank gage has NMi and TÜV approvals

| By Chemical Engineering

The Dutch Metrological Institute NMi has approved the Rosemount Raptor tank-gauging system for custody transfer accuracy, and the German DIBt/TÜV Nord has tested and approved the system in accordance with the rules of overfill prevention. The Raptor is a complete tank-gauging system that includes high-precision radar gages, and temperature and pressure measurement devices. The NMi certification is written according to the current International Organization of Legal Metrology requirements, which require at least 1-mm accuracy for level. The approval means the Raptor 5900 radar gage with 0.5-mm accuracy can be used for automatic custody transfer operations within the Netherlands. The system has also been certified for overfill prevention according to IEC 61508 international safety standard according to SIL 2 and SIL 3 requirements. — Emerson Process Measurement, Rosemount Tank Gauging, Göteborg, Sweden
