Applications

Level, volume, or flow

SITRANS Probe LU is designed to measure levels of liquids in a variety of applications:
• storage type vessels
• simple process vessels with some surface agitation
• liquids
• slurries
• open channels
Volume
Volume parameters allow you to obtain the measurement as volume instead of level.
Flow
If you have an open channel system (a Parshall flume, v-notch weir, or other open
channel device), you can obtain flow values instead of level. By using the linearization
parameters, and entering values for Head and Flow breakpoints, you can use
SITRANS Probe LU to convert head levels into flow rates.
