Description
The model FLM-H magnetostrictive level transmitter has been specifically designed for the requirements of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. The level transmitter is particularly suitable for the special conditions of CIP/SIP cleaning processes, such as chemical stability towards cleaning liquids and high temperatures.
The guide tube is directly welded to the process connection. This guarantees a crevice-free joint, additional seals are not required.
A special advantage of the level transmitter is its easy parameterisation and fast commissioning.
Special features
- Fully welded and dead-space free
- Insensitive to foaming, ideal for interface measurement
- High-precision level measurement: accuracy < 0.5 mm [0.02 in]
- 3-A marked hygienic design
