Ballast Water in the Wing and Double Bottom Tanks
The ballast water measurements in the wing and double bottom tanks go directly into the calculations for ship trim, draught and list. Since the measuring sites during operation on board are virtually inaccessible, reliability and stability are an absolute must. Pressure shocks, abrasive sand particles and brackish water place additional heavy demands on the instrumentation.
VEGABAR 66 for Extreme Applications
Thanks to its separate electronics, sensor housing in IP 69K and ceramic measuring cell, the VEGABAR 66 is the perfect sensor for harsh conditions. The mounting bosses, which are located on deck, are sealed with the stainless steel process fittings and thus withstand the effects of the atmosphere or breaking waves. The separate electronics can be installed and ventilated in a protected area.
