Measurement Instrumentation​

Advanced diagnostics are built directly into Emerson’s measurement instrumentation portfolio, spanning pressure, flow, level, and temperature, to continuously monitor device health and process conditions in real time, without interrupting operations. By providing early alerts, advanced diagnostics enable operations teams to prevent incidents, identify potential issues before they escalate, and plan maintenance proactively. For flow meters and level transmitters, Smart Meter Verification automatically evaluates performance and integrity without halting the process, comparing live measurements against calibration baselines to detect deviations early and generating time-stamped verification reports. Across pressure instrumentation, built-in diagnostics detect issues such as plugged impulse lines and electrical loop issues before they impact measurement quality, while temperature transmitters continuously monitor for sensor drift and thermocouple degradation. The result is a shift from costly, schedule-based maintenance to intelligent, condition-based strategies, thereby helping to reduce unplanned shutdowns, lower field service costs, and keep personnel out of hazardous areas. 

Non-intrusive measurement instrumentation refers to technologies that measure process conditions, such as flow, level, temperature, or pressure, from outside the pipe or vessel, without requiring a process penetration or direct contact with the medium. Emerson's non-intrusive portfolio includes clamp-on ultrasonic flow meters, non-contacting radar level transmitters, external temperature measurement instrumentation, and wireless solutions. These technologies are preferred when process isolation is not possible, when installation downtime must be minimized, when working with hazardous or corrosive media, or when retrofitting instrumentation to existing infrastructure without modifications. 

Emerson offers a comprehensive range of SIL-rated (Safety Integrity Level) measurement instruments certified for use in hazardous locations, including ATEX, IECEx, and FM-approved devices. Many solutions are certified to SIL 2 or SIL 3, including pressure transmitters, temperature transmitters, level transmitters, vortex flow meters, and select magnetic flow meters. Many flame and gas detectors are approved to SIL 2 and can help protect personnel and facilities from combustible and toxic gas hazards across oil and gas, chemical, and refining environments. Non-intrusive measurement technologies can help further reduce safety risk by minimizing or eliminating process penetrations and hot-work requirements. 

Yes, Emerson offers a wide range of wireless instruments, gateways, and compatible software that delivers reliable, continuous data streams to enhance your facility’s safety, operational efficiency, and sustainability. Industrial wireless technologies also help eliminate blind spots in plants that were previously too difficult or expensive to install wired instruments. By enabling cost-effective monitoring of previously inaccessible, cost-prohibitive, or high-risk areas, Emerson’s industrial wireless solutions reduce cabling costs and installation time while providing over 99% data reliability via WirelessHART® technology. Emerson's scalable wireless mesh infrastructure integrates with existing DCS and SCADA host systems.  

Emerson measurement instrumentation serves over a dozen process industries including oil and gas, refining, chemical, power generation, water and wastewater, food and beverage, life sciences, marine, pulp and paper, mining and metals, aerospace and defense, and data centers.
