ABOUT THE
TRANSMITTER
Rosemount 1153 Series D Alphaline Pressure Transmitters are designed for
precision pressure measurements in nuclear applications requiring reliable
performance and safety over a specified qualified life. These transmitters
were generically tested to the IEEE Std 323-1974 and IEEE Std 344-1975 per
the Qualification Test Report D8300040. The Rosemount 1153 Series D has
been qualification tested to environments typical of Pressurized Water
Reactors (PWR) under accident conditions. Stringent quality control during
the manufacturing process includes traceability of pressure retaining parts,
special nuclear cleaning, and hydrostatic testing.
Rosemount 1153 Transmitters are of a design unique to Class 1E nuclear
service while retaining the working concept and design parameters of the
Rosemount 1151 Series that have become a standard of reliable service.
Units are available in Absolute (A), Gage (G), Differential (D), and High-Line
Differential (H) configurations, with a variety of pressure range options (See
Table 6-1 on page 6-10). Figure 2-5 on page 2-7 shows transmitter
dimensional drawings.
