VEGASON 61

Ultrasonic sensor for continuous level measurement

Application area
VEGASON 61 is suitable for measurement of liquids in storage tanks or open basins as well as flow measurements in open flumes. The sensor is also suitable for detection of bulk solids.

Advantages
Non-contact measurement
Unaffected by product properties
Adjustment without medium
Integrated temperature sensor for correction of the sound running time
Measuring range:
− in liquids up to 5 m
− in bulk solids up to 2 m

Function
Short ultrasonic pulses are emitted by the transducer in the direction of the measured product, reflected by its surface and received back by the transducer. The elapsed time from emission to reception of the signals is proportional to the level in the vessel.
