Level Measurement & Control


Capacitance level measurement is cost-effective

August 2007 Level Measurement & Control

Capacitance level measurement has established a firm position in process instrumentation during recent decades and still offers decisive advantages today.

The Liquicap T FMI21 from Endress+Hauser is a cost-effective capacitance probe for continuous level measurement in conductive liquids starting at 30 mS/cm. The measuring range is between 150 mm and 2500 mm at a maximum permissible process temperature of +100°C. The probe is pre-calibrated to the ordered length at the factory. This eliminates customer calibration. Subsequent shortening of the probe rods is easily done at any time using the separate shorting kit. High-quality, corrosion-resistant materials are available for applications in aggressive liquids like acids and lyes. The Liquicap T provides safe and reliable operation regardless of tank materials (plastic, steel or concrete) and tank geometries (baffles, nozzles, etc).

Used in conjunction with the Fieldgate FXA320, which provides remote measured value interrogation using Internet technology, the Liquicap T is an ideal solution for inventory control in logistics.

Many small storage and buffer tanks in all industries have not yet been equipped with instrumentation. The persuasive price/performance ratio makes this sensor a commercially viable solution for such applications.
