VEGA VEGAFLEX 83 TDR sensor for continuous level and interface measurement of liquids
$1,780.00
The VEGAFLEX 83 TDR Sensor delivers accurate continuous level and interface measurement for liquids. It uses Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) to ensure stable performance, even in demanding process conditions.
This sensor performs especially well in multi-phase applications, such as oil and water separation. In addition, it handles high temperatures, pressure variations, and aggressive media with ease. Because of its robust design, it is widely used in chemical, oil & gas, and process industries.
Not Recommended For:
• Applications with heavy foam or strong buildup
• Media with very low dielectric constant
VEGAFLEX 83 TDR sensor for continuous level and interface measurement of liquids
Selection Notes
• Measurement Type: The VEGAFLEX 83 is ideal for continuous level and interface measurement. It is especially suitable for multi-phase liquids.
• Process Conditions: It operates reliably under high temperature and pressure. However, always confirm your exact process limits before selection.
• Probe Selection: Choose the correct probe type (rod or cable) and length based on tank height and installation conditions. This improves measurement stability.
• Medium Properties: The liquid must have a sufficient dielectric constant for proper signal reflection.
• Installation Position: Ensure proper mounting to avoid internal obstructions or false reflections.
Why Choose the VEGAFLEX 83
• Precise TDR Measurement
The VEGAFLEX 83 uses TDR technology to measure level and interface accurately. It calculates the signal reflection time to deliver stable and repeatable results.
• Optimized for Interface Measurement
It reliably detects interfaces such as oil and water. Therefore, it is ideal for separators, storage tanks, and process vessels.
• Strong Performance in Harsh Conditions
The sensor works well in high temperatures, high pressures, and aggressive media. As a result, it meets the needs of demanding industries.
• Flexible Probe Options
You can select rod or cable probes based on your application. This flexibility simplifies installation and improves adaptability.
• Low Maintenance Design
The device has no moving parts, which reduces wear. In addition, it ensures long-term stable operation with minimal maintenance.
FAQ
Q: What applications is the VEGAFLEX 83 best for?
A: It is ideal for level and interface measurement in industries such as oil & gas, chemical processing, and storage tanks with multi-phase liquids.
Q: How does TDR technology work?
A: The sensor sends electromagnetic pulses along the probe. When the signal reaches a boundary, it reflects back. The device calculates the level based on the travel time.
Q: Can it measure oil and water interface?
A: Yes. The VEGAFLEX 83 accurately measures interfaces like oil and water, even under challenging conditions.
Q: Is it suitable for high-temperature environments?
A: Yes. It is designed for high-temperature and high-pressure applications, ensuring reliable performance.
