RF cables for Rosemount Tank Radar supplied by Quadrant Connections
Quadrant, the major supplier of cable assemblies to Rosemount Tank Radar is now supplying the company with five new RF cable assemblies. Rosemount has developed marine tank radar systems for over 30 years having pioneered the application of radar techniques for level gauging onboard tankers. The Rosemount Tank Radar system is now available for all types of tankers, including LNG vessels and floating production storage and off-loading vessels. Nearly 60% of all new tank gauging installations on board tankers are Rosemount Tank Radar systems.
A high degree of expertise and skill is required for this type of installation and among the many types that Quadrant supplies the most challenging is a coil that forms part of the radar head. This provides a reference electrical length that contributes directly to the radar’s accuracy of +/-5mm, even when the liquid cargo is swilling around. The demanding 2% tolerance on the electrical length in excess of 10 metres is achieved by means of several temperature conditioning cycles and precise preparation of the RG402 semi-rigid cable prior to termination of the SMA plug.
