VEGA BAR 86 VEGABAR 86 Submersible pressure transmitter with ceramic measuring cell
$680.00
The VEGA VEGABAR 86 Submersible Pressure Transmitter with Ceramic Measuring Cell is designed for continuous level and pressure measurement in liquids, especially in water, wastewater, wells, and open tanks.
Using a robust ceramic CERTEC® measuring cell, it provides high overload resistance, long-term stability, and excellent resistance to abrasion and aggressive media. Therefore, it is ideal for demanding environmental and industrial applications.
Its submersible design with cable suspension allows direct installation into tanks, reservoirs, and boreholes, ensuring reliable measurement even under harsh conditions.
Typical applications include water treatment, wastewater plants, river level monitoring, groundwater measurement, and pump stations.
Not Recommended For:
• Dry gas or vapor pressure measurement
• Extremely viscous media that may coat the sensor diaphragm
Selection Notes
• Confirm the application type: level measurement in tanks, wells, or open water
• Verify required measuring range, depending on liquid depth
• Select cable length and material, suitable for installation depth and environment
• Ensure compatibility of process medium with ceramic measuring cell
• Choose required output signal, such as 4–20 mA or digital interface
• Confirm need for IP68 protection and long-term submersion capability
