Emerson launched the Rosemount 4051S Pressure Transmitter, a new industrial measurement solution with the flexibility to meet the most demanding pressure measurement challenges by increasing performance and operational insights.
The innovative pressure transmitter can provide local real-time control, eliminating the need for a separate device, such as a programmable logic controller. This functionality is provided by two relay switches, each of which can be configured to provide on/off control of pumps, motors, and other equipment. These switches can also provide alerts based on pressure, flow, totalized flow, level, volume or module temperature.
“The Rosemount 4051S Pressure Transmitter is designed to provide exceptional versatility and performance, helping customers improve operations and expand their pressure measurement capabilities across a broad range of industrial applications,” said Nathan Stokes, vice president of pressure products with Emerson’s Measurement Instrumentation business.
Fast response time of 40 milliseconds allows the 4051S to be used in the most demanding applications. A best-in-class 800:1 turndown ratio reduces the number of unique models needed to be kept in stock, streamlining inventory.

Advanced diagnostics provide more insights, with loop integrity continuously monitoring the health of the entire electrical loop to detect potential failures. Plugged impulse line detection alerts plant personnel so they can take action and the transmitter can also diagnose other abnormal conditions, such as cavitation, using its built-in process intelligence. Built-in calibration and diagnostic logs provide the information needed to optimize maintenance and perform root cause analysis.
The graphical, backlit display is larger than previous models, making it easier to read and allowing inclusion of more descriptive warning messages, an always-on process variable value, and a customizable secondary area. The display can be configured in seven languages, and the intuitive user interface speeds and simplifies operator interactions, while reducing the risk of errors.
Lastly, Bluetooth connectivity up to 50 ft. (15 meters) improves safety by allowing plant personnel to access the transmitter without entering hazardous areas. This fast and easy connectivity increases productivity, reliability and safety by simplifying operator rounds. Configuration and troubleshooting are also improved as operators are informed of the devices that need attention, and the AMS Device Configurator mobile app provides a seamless experience across all devices.
