Level measuring instrument

The Liquicap T continuous level measuring instrumentation for liquids features a build-up compensation mode that overcomes performance problems normally associated with conventional capacitance/inductance level measuring probes, particularly in chemically aggressive, sticky liquid applications.

This fit-and-forget level instrument automatically compensates for any coating or scaling when immersed in dirty or aggressive liquids, detecting build-up by measuring the changes in the electrical parameters. This means it is unaffected by changing density, temperature, dielectric constant, vapour and foam — factors which can affect the accuracy of alternative technologies like hydrostatic pressure, ultrasonic or float-style level transmitters.

The Liquicap T is suitable for measuring liquid levels in plastic ISO containers, GRP tanks or concrete pits, unlike other conventional alternatives that require earthing to a metal vessel. Liquicap T’s unique technology offers an installation and reliability benefit for manufacturers of OEM tanks or OEM chemical crate containers.

Devices are supplied pre-calibrated ready for installation. The standard 2 m rod probe includes a shortening kit so it can be adjusted on site by the customer to suit individual storage requirements.

Fieldgate software can be used to gather data from the remote device measuring points allowing customers to view multiple container levels from their nearest workstation. Endress+Hauser can also create an online portal so measurements can be viewed off site via a web browser.
