Meets strict safety standards
19 August 2013
A magnetostrictive level transmitter from ABB is enabling Robinson Brothers to meet strict safety standards regarding the storage of highly reactive carbon disulphide (CS2).

Level measurement was previously achieved using a simple magnetic float-based device that provided a local indication of the level but didn’t link in to any wider control system. When an updated solution equipped with the latest communications was called for instrumentation specialist, ICA Services, an official ABB WirelessHart distributor was called in.
CS2 is one of the few chemicals that requires instrumentation to be certified to the most extreme, ATEX Exd IIC T6, protection standard. It can also be used in safety instrumented systems to meet the toughest SIL1 performance standards. ICA’s partnership with ABB enabled it to recommend the AT100 magnetostrictive level transmitter, which meets both these criteria.
