Made & Engineered in Canada: Siemens Measurement Instrumentation for Mining
Mining operations demand precision, durability, and real-time data to ensure safety, productivity, and cost control. Siemens proudly manufactures a wide range of measurement instrumentation devices designed to meet the unique challenges of the mining industry. From mag meters to level transmitters, Siemens delivers rugged and reliable solutions to help miners monitor their materials, manage their processes, and maximize performance.
Benefits of Measurement Instrumentation for Mining Operations
- Reduced Downtime: Non-invasive installation means no interruptions to operations during setup or maintenance.
- Cost Savings: Durable designs minimize maintenance needs and eliminate the cost of pipe modifications.
- Enhanced Safety: Accurate readings help prevent overflows and leaks. For example, the FS230 clamp-on flow meter supports safer operations by identifying flow irregularities early.
- Compliance and Reporting: Reliable data collection supports regulatory compliance and simplifies transparent reporting.
Built for Mining: Siemens Measurement Instrumentation Solutions
Level Measurement: SITRANS Radar Level Transmitters
The SITRANS LR500 series comprises advanced 80 GHz radar-level transmitters designed for continuous monitoring of liquids, slurries, and solids in storage and process vessels. These transmitters are engineered to deliver high precision and reliability, even in challenging industrial environments like mining.
Key Features:
- Robust Construction: Fully welded stainless steel design enhances durability and minimizes potential leak points.
- Measurement Capabilities: Distance, level, and volume calculations.
- Accuracy: Typical non-linearity of 0.25%, providing reliable pressure readings.
Flow Measurement: SITRANS Clamp-on Ultrasonic Flow Meters
SITRANS FS clamp-on ultrasonic flowmeters deliver high accuracy, noise immunity, and reliability. With fast data updates and an easy setup, their non-intrusive sensors allow full-flow measurement without pipe cutting, pressure drop, or energy loss.
Key Features:
- Non-intrusive installation: Mounts externally on pipes with no cutting or shutdown required.
- High accuracy: Precise flow measurement even with challenging fluids or conditions.
- High-speed data update rate: Fast response for real-time process control.
Flow Measurement: SITRANS FM MAG
The Siemens SITRANS FM MAG line features stainless steel sensors with durable liners and electrode options, delivering accurate flow measurement for conductive liquids, including aggressive or abrasive media. Built to ANSI, DIN, and JIS standards, these meters are available in multiple pressure classes, such as Class 150 and 300, to suit piping systems worldwide.
Key Features:
- Compatibilty: Compatible with EN 1092, DIN, and ANSI flange standards.
- Rugged Construction: Fully welded body with abrasion- and corrosion-resistant liner and electrode options.
- Accurate, validated calibration: Each unit calibrated in ISO / IEC 17025-accredited facilities.
- Wide Size Range: From DN 15 to DN 2000 (½″ to 78″) for small process lines up to large slurry systems.
- Various sizes: Available in from DN 2 (1/12") to DN 100 (96").
- Sensor sizes: ranges from DN 2 to DN 100 ( 1 /12" to 4")
Pressure Measurement: SITRANS P320 Pressure Transmitter
The SITRANS P320 pressure transmitters are the first of their kind to offer remote safety handling, allowing full configuration from the control room rather than on-site. This significantly speeds up commissioning, especially in safety-critical environments.
- Built for Harsh Environments: Engineered with robust materials to withstand tough mining conditions.
- Lower Maintenance Costs: Extended proof test interval—up to 15 years.
- User-friendly interface: Large display, diagnostic icons (NAMUR NE107), and quick start wizard.
Siemens Belt Scales & Weighing Applications
Siemens Milltronics BW500 and BW500/L integrators work with a belt scale and speed sensor to deliver accurate flow rates and totalized weight of mined materials. The BW500 is built for more demanding mining operations, handling advanced functions such as batching, blending, load-out, and process control, all while supporting industrial communication buses. Both models are well-suited for the harsh conditions of mining, where reliability and precision are critical.
