Mobile Access to Insights
Insights delivered—right away. Access inventory data instantly anytime with Rosemount™ TankMaster™ Mobile, available on smartphones, tablets, and computers.
Make smarter inventory decisions and share tank operation insights beyond the control room through an intuitive, easy-to-use, modern software.
Overfill prevention
Prevent overfill with an automated overfill prevention system featuring SIL rated and certified radar level gauges. Ensure compliance with API 2350, IEC 61511, TÜV/WHG, and local regulations.
The Rosemount 5900S radar level gauges integrates 2-in-1 technology for precise level measurement and independent alarm handling through a single tank opening, enhancing operational efficiency and safety.
Remote Proof Testing
Enhance efficiency and safety with periodic, remote proof-testing. Detect hardware failures and maintain system integrity without disrupting tank operations.
Conduct proof-tests from the control room using modern level sensors, reducing downtime and personnel risks. Utilize guided wizards for seamless test execution and generate detailed reports for compliance and operational insights.
Floating Roof Monitoring
Ensure proactive floating roof monitoring with automated roof position tracking. Continuously detect if the roof is stuck, sinking, floating abnormally or tilted.
Utilize three to six gauges for precise inclination tracking and integrate extra transmitters to detect hydrocarbons or drain obstructions further enhancing operational safety and efficiency.
Cryogenic Tank Storage
In cryogenic and refrigerated tanks, reliable measurements are critical. Radar technology offers a robust, virtually maintenance-free solution with highly accurate, long-range measurements.
Safety features include voted overfill prevention, cool-down control, stratification monitoring, leak detection, and a unified instrument infrastructure for liquefied gas storage tanks with rollover prediction.
Products
Enhance Scalability
Scalable Tank Data Management
The Rosemount 2460 System Hub collects and stores field data while supporting redundancy and third-party integration. It ensures seamless power and system communication for streamlined tank operations.
Key benefits include: a fast data update rate for up to 64 tanks, scalable expansion options, flexible port connectivity, and emulation capabilities for integrating data from other vendor gauges.
Replace Field Devices
Tank gauging emulation enables easy replacement of old level gauges from all major suppliers with modern radar level gauges, one gauge at a time, with minimal disruption and without the need for a large-scale investments.
New gauges “speak the language” of the old, meaning no changes are required for communication or field wiring, and the existing host system can still be used.
Upgrade the Control Room
Make cost-efficient step by step upgrades of existing equipment with emulation. Modernize communication to and from the control room with a field collector unit that speaks multiple languages.
Use existing cabling and communication protocols for quick and easy installation. Start with upgrading your inventory management software, continue with replacing old field instrumentation.
Connect Wirelessly
Easily add wireless instrumentation to automate tank farm operations. Connect previously isolated tanks and deliver tank gauging data to the control room without cabling.
Eliminate long-distance field wiring, reduce installation costs, simplify operations, and ensure regulatory compliance. Wireless infrastructure scales to align with your digital transformation roadmap and investment needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about Tank Gauging.
Tank gauging is the measurement of liquids in large storage tanks with the purpose of quantifying the product volume and mass of the product in the tanks. This highly accuracy system is widely used in refineries, the oil and gas and petrochemical industry, distribution and pipeline terminals, fuel depots, airport fueling and chemical storage. The information from a tank gauging system is used for many different purposes including: oil movement and operations, inventory control, custody transfer, loss control and mass balance, volume reconciliation, overfill prevention, leak detection.
Highest custody transfer accuracy, safety and overfill compliance, real-time inventory control, reliable product transfer for instance oil and gas inventory (every drop counts for financial transactions).
Special considerations must be taken into account when using radar tank gauges for pressure applications. Firstly, the unit must withstand the tank pressure and meet the safety standards written around pressure vessels. Secondly, the radar gauge must be manufactured so that it can effectively cope with the challenges that high vapor pressure may cause in such tanks. Thirdly, the radar tank gauge should have some means of performance verification during normal tank conditions.
Yes, there are several options using Modbus TCP or OPC being the most common one.
Rosemount™ TankMaster ™ includes a proof-test manager, which allows operators to safely perform proof-testing of overfill alarm functionality remotely from the control room.
The proof-testing made at regular intervals can be combined with the continuous product level monitoring.
Proof-test report: when the proof test is finalized and approved, a test report is automatically created. The test report includes field device-specific information, detailed test results, when the test was performed, who performed the test, and who approved it.
Proof-test history: all proof-test reports can easily be displayed on a later occasion using the proof-test history option.
Proof-test scheduling: the proof-test scheduling lets the user specify when the next proof-test should be performed. The test frequency and the desired type of reminder may also be set (pop-up message and/or e-mail).
