Detailed introduction

1. Product Overview:The Rosemount 1151 fully intelligent pressure transmitter, as a very important pressure transmitter from Rosemount, has always possessed strong vitality and has a high market share in the transmitter market. The Rosemount 1151 transmitter has gone through more than forty years of development, continuously improving in product performance and manufacturing processes, while maintaining its consistent style in appearance. The overall performance of the Rosemount 1151 transmitter has become increasingly refined. Since its introduction in 1969, it has been used for its continuously improved long-term reliability, and now there are over five million 1151 transmitters in use worldwide. It has also been widely selected in new or technological transformation projects across various industries in China (see Rosemount's performance report for details). The Rosemount 1151 fully intelligent transmitter represents the current technological level of Rosemount, with overall performance improved by more than 250% compared to the 1151 transmitters produced by local Chinese manufacturers (Xiyi, Shangyi). The Rosemount 1151 transmitter has now been completely discontinued and replaced by the newly launchedRosemount 3051 pressure transmitterand the Rosemount 2051 series pressure transmitters.
