Process Expo 2013 was the showcase for Vega’s new guided wave radar, the Vegaflex 86. Developed for extreme industrial applications, this GWR combines refractory ceramic and stainless steel with the latest level measurement technology. It measures liquids safely and reliably up to an operating temperature of 450°C and a process pressure of 400 bar.
Vegaflex 86 is ideal for level and interface measurement of liquids. It delivers accurate and reliable results even in extreme temperatures from -196 to 400°C and process pressures from -1 to 400 bar. It is ideally suited for measurement applications in steam boilers as well as in bypass tubes or standpipes. Its application range is virtually unlimited, thanks to its ability to measure products with a dielectric constant of 1,4 and higher,
Product selection and setup made easy
The versions with cable, rod or coaxial probe and standard process connections such as threads from G1½ A and flanges from DN 50 allow installation on any container or tank. The electronics versions are 4-20 mA/HART, Modbus, Profibus PA and Foundation Fieldbus, which means that a simple connection can be made to any process control system. In addition, the single and double chamber housings of plastic, aluminium and stainless steel make it possible to create an instrument version suitable for any process environment.
Setup wizards and new, intelligent signal processing functions facilitate setup and commissioning and ensure stable, accurate readings. Since it was developed according to IEC 61508, the sensor meets the requirements of SIL2 and SIL3, when deployed in homogenous redundancy. A welded, gas-tight feed through (second line of defence) brings additional safety to facilities handling hazardous materials. The standard ATEX and FM approvals for explosion protection in gas and dust complete the selection options.
