For continuous level and interface measurement in liquids

Liquicap FMI51 is a reliable fully insulated rod probe for continuous level monitoring in liquids, particularly in build-up forming media and extremely high temperatures. The measurement is independent of the dielectric constant (dc). Used in conjunction with Fieldgate FXA320 (remote measured value interrogation using Internet technology), Liquicap is an ideal solution for Inventory Management Solutions.

Additional components

  • Benefits

    • Use also in safety systems requiring functional safety to SIL2 in accordance with IEC 61508

    • Reliable and universal application thanks to wide range of certificates and approvals

    • No calibration necessary (factory preconfiguration). No calibration...

  • Field of application

    The device is independent of the dielectric constant (dc) as of a liquid conductivity of 100μS/cm and allows measurement of various liquids without the need for recalibration.

    • Process connections: Flanges and threads

    • Process pressure: Vacuum to +100bar...
