Application
Level measurement
Continuous level measurement of powdery to granular
bulk solids e.g. plastic granulate and liquids.
• Measurement independent of density (bulk density),
conductivity, dielectric constant, temperature and
dust (during pneumatic filling).
• Measurement in turbulent liquids or foam is possible.
TI358F/24/ae/03.08
• System integration via HART
analog, PROFIBUS-PA
protocols.
• Application in safety related systems (overspill
protection) with requirements for functional safety up
to SIL 2 in accordance with IEC 61508/IEC 61511-1.
• WHG approval
Interface measurement
Continuous measurement of interfaces between two
liquids with very different dielectric constants, such as oil
and water.
• Measurement independent of density, conductivity
and temperature
• Electronics version for the simultaneous measurement
of the level of interfaces and the total level in liquids.
The HART with 4 to 20 mA analog protocol is
available for system integration
• Special version for the measurement of the level of
interfaces at a constant total level. The PROFIBUS PA
and FOUNDATION Fieldbus protocols are available
for system integration.
Your benefits
Probes are available with threaded process connections
from ¾" and flanges from DN40 / 1½".
• Cable probes for measurement in bulk solids,
Coax probe
measuring range up to 115 ft (35 m)
• Rod probes for liquids and solids
• Coax probes, for liquids
• Simple, menu-guided local operation with four-line
plain text display.
• Local envelope curve on the display for easy diagnosis.
• Easy remote operation, diagnosis and measuring point
documentation with the free operating program
supplied.
• Optional remote display and operation.
• With coax probes, the measurement is independent of
structures inside the tank or installation in a nozzle.
• Probe rod and probe cable can be replaced/shortened.
