In 1983, Honeywell introduced the first Smart Pressure Transmitter― the ST 3000®. In 1989, Honeywell launched the first all digital, bi-directional protocol for smart field devices. Today, its ST 3000 Series 100 Remote Seal Transmitters continue to bring proven “smart” technology to a wide spectrum of measurement applications. Typical applications include high accuracy level measurement in pressurized vessels in the chemical and hydrocarbon processing industries. A second application consists of accurate flow measurement for slurries and high viscosity fluids in the chemical industry. Honeywell remote seal transmitters demonstrate proven reliability in hundreds on installations in a wide variety of industries and applications with a wide variety of secondary fill fluids for corrosive or high temperature process fluids.
All ST 3000 transmitters can provide a 4-20 mA output, Honeywell Digitally Enhanced (DE) output, HART* output, or FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus output. When digitally integrated with Honeywell’s Process Knowledge System™, EXPERION PKS™,
ST 3000 instruments provide a more accurate process variable as well as advanced diagnostics.

Figure 1—Series 100 Remote Seal Pressure Transmitters feature proven piezoresistive sensors and advanced seal technology with standard weld connections.
The devices provide comprehensive self-diagnostics to help users maintain high uptime, meet regulatory requirements, and attain high quality standards. S100 transmitters are ideal for critical applications, such as custody transfer of natural gas and energy and material balances, where accuracy and stability are of the utmost importance.
"Our commitment to Honeywell field instruments is based on seamless integration with our Honeywell system and the enhanced fault detection that the Honeywell DE protocol offers. Honeywell instruments also offer us a better way of ensuring database integrity over simple analog instruments. In addition, Honeywell's high-quality support has enabled us to better implement solutions to some of our more difficult problems. We have used Honeywell differential pressure smart transmitters for the past eight years. Based on their accuracy and low failure rates, we are now targeting critical flow applications that require the robustness that these transmitters bring.”
