From Liquid Gas to Paste
In the production of chemicals it is necessary to store widely different products: raw materials must be stocked in order to ensure continuous production; intermediate products have to be temporarily stored before being processed further; and finally, finished products have to wait somewhere until they are shipped. All this makes accurate measurement of vessel contents an absolute necessity.
VEGAPULS 62 in Pressurized Liquid Gas Vessels
Because a pressurized vessel cannot normally be opened, a ball valve is quite often implemented. The VEGAPULS 62 is the ideal sensor for this application. Mounted on a standpipe, the sensor does not touch the process material and is suitable even in extreme low-temperature applications with liquid gases such as oxygen and nitrogen.
VEGAFLEX 65 for Small Liquid Gas Vessels
The VEGAFLEX 65 is an interesting alternative for the measurement of liquid gas, especially in small vessels. Easy set-up and ideal signal guidance in the coaxial rod system make the sensor a truly simple "plug and play" instrument.
VEGAFLEX 61 in Solvent Vessels
Modern production facilities in the chemical industry are often geared for the production of a number of different products. Regardless of product characteristics, the implemented level sensor must deliver accurate, reliable measurement data. The VEGAFLEX 61 fulfills this particular requirement perfectly. The guided microwave measuring principle is not affected by the physical properties of the process material, such as density, temperature, gas stratification, foam generation and dielectric constant. Depending on the application and mounting position, rod or cable versions are available. For products with poor reflective properties or for extremely high accuracy requirements, the VEGAFLEX 65 with a coaxial rod has proven to be an exceptionally good solution.
Level Detection with the VEGASWING 63
Beside continuous level measurement, level detection constitutes an important security feature on storage tanks. Many new sensors for continuous level measurement are now certified for overfill protection, but a second physical measuring principle ensures optimal safety as well as redundancy.
Because of the many ways it can be applied, the VEGASWING 63 vibrating level switch is ideal for all measurement tasks connected with the storage of liquids. The recurring test of the WHG (Water Resources Act) is performed simply by pressing a key on the signal conditioning instrument - the sensor then corresponds to SIL requirements.
