The Rosemount SAM42 acoustic particle monitor delivers high-sensitivity detection of entrained sand particles, even at extremely low concentrations. Its advanced acoustic technology provides real-time monitoring with exceptional repeatability, making it ideal for oil & gas pipelines and geothermal systems where particle erosion poses operational risks.
Non-Intrusive Design Simplifies Installation
Featuring a compact, clamp-on design, the SAM42 requires no pipe penetration or modifications, reducing installation time and costs. With onboard data processing and explosion-proof protection, it offers a complete monitoring solution while maintaining process integrity in high-pressure systems.
Wide Temperature Range for Demanding Applications
Available in two versions, the SAM42 accommodates pipe surface temperatures from -40°F to 554°F (-40°C to 290°C). This broad operational range ensures reliable performance in arctic oil fields, steam pipelines, and geothermal plants, where extreme conditions challenge conventional sensors.
Hazardous Area Certifications for Safe Operation
Certified for Ex d (flameproof) and Ex i (intrinsic safety) installations, the SAM42 meets ATEX, IECEx, and North American standards. Its rugged construction allows mounting on 2- to 48-inch diameter pipes, providing flexible deployment in refineries, offshore platforms, and processing facilities.
Digital Connectivity for Process Optimization
Equipped with Modbus RTU RS485 communication, the SAM42 enables real-time data transmission for flow adjustment and erosion prevention. By integrating with control systems, it helps operators minimize equipment wear and optimize production efficiency in particle-laden flows.
