Non-Contact Ultrasonic Level Meters – OPTISOUND 3030 C - 3050 C Ultrasonic Level Gauge for Solids OPTISOUND 3030 C, 3040 C and 3050 C ultrasonic sensors are especially suitable for level measurement of solids, but a real so good for liquids. The instruments differ in the measuring range, the transducer version and the process fitting. Through different, adapted emitting frequencies and effcient transducers, levels in a measuring range of 0.6 m - 45 m (1.97 ft - 147.6 ft) can be measured. Resistant materials for the transducers and process fittings also allow applications in corrosive products (depending on the model). OPTISOUND 3030 C The application range covers liquids and solids in virtually all industries. Measuring Range liquids: 0.6 - 15 m solids: 0.6 - 7 m Process Connection: compression flange or mounting strap Process Temperature: -40 - 80°C Process Pressure: -0.2 - 1 bar OPTISOUND 3040 C Solids applications Measuring Range: liquids: 1 - 25 m solids: 1 - 15 m Process Connection: flange with optional swivelling holder Process Temperature: -40 - 80°C Process Pressure: -0.2 - 0.5 bar OPTISOUND 3050 C Solids applications Measuring Range: liquids: 0.8 - 45 m solids: 0.8 - 25 m Process Connection: flange with optional swivelling holder Process Temperature: -40 - 80°C Process Pressure: -0.2 - 0.5 bar | |||||||||
Magnetic Level Gauge – BM 26 A Bypass Level Indicator The proven mechanical-based solution for level indication
The BM 26 is a simple, rugged instrument designed to indicate level or interface. It indicates level using a float magnetically coupled to an index or a column of rotating flaps. It is ideal for aggressive media stored in tanks when the PTFE lining option is used. For liquids with densities less than 0.5 kg/l / 31 lb/ft³, pressures more than 120 bar / 1740 psig and temperatures higher than 300°C / 570 °F, we recommend our BW 25 displacer-type level indicator.

Magnetic Level Gauge – BM 26 BASIC | ADVANCED Stainless Steel Bypass Level Indicators for applications up to 40 bar / 580 psig
Our bypass level indicators are simple, rugged devices designed to indicate or transmit the level of liquids. They indicate level using a float magnetically coupled to a column of rotating flaps. Bistable switches can be attached to the measuring tube to detect level. The Basic version is ideal for measuring liquids with a density ≥0.75 g/cm³ / ≥46.8 lb/ft³, temperatures up to 150°C / 300°F or pressures up to 16 bar / 232 psig (for more data, refer to Guidelines for maximum operating pressure on page 37). Level can also be transmitted via an ER analog transmitter. The Advanced version is ideal for measuring liquids with density range of 0.54...2.0 g/cm³ / 33.7...124.8 lb/ft³, temperatures up to 300°C / 570°F or pressures up to 40 bar / 580 psi (for more data, refer to Guidelines for maximum operating pressure on page 37). Level can also be transmitted via an ER analog transmitter or Radar/TDR level transmitters. Highlights

Magnetic Level Gauge – BM 26 F Bypass Chamber with integrated Guided Radar (TDR) Level Meter The solution for tanks with obstructed environments
BM 26 F is based on proven bypass measurement technology. It is capable of high precision measurement and is unaffected by foam, agitated product surface and obstructed tank environments. BM 26 F integrates the OPTIFLEX 1300 C Guided Radar (TDR) Level Meter for distance, level and volume measurement of liquids and liquid/liquid interface. It can also optionally indicate level using a permanent, IP68 local indication without power supply. For pressures 40...120 bar / 580...1740 psig and temperatures 200...300°C / 390...570°F, we recommend using our BM 26A bypass level indicator. For pressures more than 120 bar / 1740 psig and temperatures higher than 300°C / 570°F, we recommend using our BW 25 displacer-type level indicator. For further information on the integrated Guided Radar (TDR) level meter, please refer to the Technical Datasheet for the OPTIFLEX 1300 C. Highlights

Potentiometric Level Gauge – BM 500 Potentiometric liquid-level measuring device
The BM 500 level gauge operates on the potentiometric measuring principle and is designed for use in all electrically conductive products with a minimum conductivity of 1 µS/cm (e.g. distilled water). This method is particularly suitable for measuring levels in small vessels containing viscous, pasty or heavily caking products. The electronic evaluation unit is integrated in the connecting head and supplies a level-proportional output signal of 4 ... 20 mA. The HWM 500 hygienic process welding sleeve ensures installation in conformity with standards of hygiene. Due to its high temperature resistance (140°C / 285°F), the BM 500 is eminently suitable for CIP cleaning and sterilizing processes. Applications
Measuring Principle The measuring principle is comparable to that of a slider potentiometer, with in this case the liquid representing the slider pick-off. An alternating current is applied to a stainless steel tube to cause a drop in voltage via the electrical resistance of the tube (cf. slider path). The conductive wall of the vessel forwards the tapped voltage conducted through the liquid to a high-resistance amplifier. Based on the supply voltage, this yields the ratio between the depth of immersion and the total length of the tube. Together with the high-resistance pick-off, this ratio explains why the measuring system is independent of the conductivity of the product. Sticky deposits merely form a parallel connection with the anyway very low-resistance tube. What is measured, therefore, is only the actual product between tube and vessel wall. |
