Endress+Hauser's Micropilot M FMR245 radar is said to be the ideal solution for accurate and reliable level monitoring in solids and liquids applications.
The German measurement instrumentation company said the Micropilot is suitable for continuous non-contact level measurement, delivering the highest measurement integrity even in the most demanding applications with dust, build-up formation and aggressive or corrosive environments.
In addition to the process seal, the Micropilot offers the option of a glass gastight feedthrough between the antenna and the electronics, which ensures that no toxic or aggressive media penetrate the electronics compartment, guaranteeing optimum safety in the most extreme conditions. The company says this is the first 26Hz level radar with this feature, offering the ideal solution for hazardous applications. Moreover, the improved antenna design enables applications up to 200ËšC.
In addition, the one-piece solid PTFE antenna is completely adapted to the signal. There are no hollow spaces or joints, thus preventing condensation within the antenna, significantly improving process reliability and increasing its service life under corrosive conditions.
Offering a SIL2 rating for added process safety, the two-wire technology allows easy implementation into existing systems and makes Micropilot M FMR245 a cost-effective alternative to differential pressure and displacers.
