VEGAFLEX 83 TDR sensor for continuous level and interface measurement of liquids

Selection Notes

• Measurement Type: The VEGAFLEX 83 is optimized for continuous level and interface measurement of liquids. It is ideal for applications where both the level and interface need to be monitored simultaneously in multi-phase systems.

• Temperature and Pressure Conditions: Ensure that the sensor is compatible with the temperature and pressure conditions in your application. The VEGAFLEX 83 is designed for high-pressure and high-temperature environments, making it suitable for more demanding processes.

• Probe Configuration: The flexible probe design allows for easier installation and ensures accurate measurement in tanks with complex geometries. Be sure to choose the correct probe length and configuration for your specific tank or vessel.

• Process Connections: Confirm the type of process connection required for your system (e.g., flange, threaded). The VEGAFLEX 83 offers various connection options, making it versatile for different installations.

Why Choose the VEGAFLEX 83

• Advanced TDR Technology
The VEGAFLEX 83 uses Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technology to provide accurate and reliable level and interface measurements. This technology allows the sensor to measure the distance to the liquid surface and interface accurately, even in challenging applications involving multiple phases.

• Ideal for Multi-Phase Systems
The VEGAFLEX 83 is especially effective in multi-phase systems, where liquids with varying densities, such as oil and water, need to be measured simultaneously. It reliably measures both the liquid level and the interface between different phases, making it suitable for industries like oil and gas, chemical processing, and food production.

• High-Temperature and High-Pressure Resistance
The VEGAFLEX 83 is built to handle demanding conditions, including high temperatures and high pressures. Its robust design ensures accurate measurement even in aggressive chemical environments, such as those found in the chemical, oil, and gas industries.

• Non-Contact Measurement
Thanks to TDR technology, the VEGAFLEX 83 is a non-contact sensor, meaning it doesn’t require contact with the liquid or interface. This reduces wear and tear, minimizes maintenance, and ensures long-term reliability and accuracy.

• Flexible Probe Design
The VEGAFLEX 83 features a flexible probe design that simplifies installation and ensures accurate measurements in tanks or vessels with complex shapes. Its adaptable probe length allows for easy customization to fit various applications.

FAQ

Q: What types of liquids can the VEGAFLEX 83 measure?
A: The VEGAFLEX 83 is suitable for a wide range of liquids, including chemicals, oils, water, and slurries. It works well in multi-phase systems where different liquid phases (e.g., oil and water) need to be measured simultaneously.

Q: How does Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) work?
A: TDR technology sends electromagnetic pulses along the sensor probe. When the pulses encounter a change in material (e.g., the liquid surface or the interface between two liquids), they reflect back to the sensor, providing precise level and interface measurement.

Q: What are the maximum temperature and pressure limits for the VEGAFLEX 83?
A: The VEGAFLEX 83 is designed for high-pressure and high-temperature applications, but you should verify the specific temperature and pressure limits for your application to ensure optimal performance.

Q: Is the VEGAFLEX 83 suitable for measuring multi-phase systems?
A: Yes, the VEGAFLEX 83 is ideal for multi-phase systems, where multiple liquid phases, such as oil and water, need to be measured at the same time. It provides accurate measurements of both the liquid level and the interface between the phases.
