VEGAFLEX 61 – using existing standpipes with new technology
Until now, mechanical measuring systems such as float gauges or displacers were often implemented. To guarantee precise measuring results, such devices are used mainly in standpipes. Due to the large equalisation holes in the pipes, it is often impossible to replace existing systems with free radiating radar sensors – the holes cause interfering reflections. This is a situation in which the guided microwave device provides a simple, as well as reliable, solution for level measurement. When the sensor is mounted in the center of the existing standpipe, a coaxial measuring system with optimal signal transmission is created. The result is high accuracy and dependability, without large expenditures for installation and set-up.
Reliable overfill protection – VEGASWING 63
In principle, a continuous measuring system, such as e.g. radar, can be implemented for overfill protection. However, as a completely different measuring principle, the vibrating level switch VEGASWING 63 provides additional safety. Independent of product characteristics, the sensor reliably detects the threshold level and thus ensures a high degree of plant safety. The annual instrument check is carried out quickly and reliably with a simple push of a button on the instrument.
