Level measurement for almost any application
The measuring method by ultrasonic probe is based on continuous ultrasonic pulses which are emitted by the sensor and reflected at the surface of the medium. The sensor receives the reflected sound waves and calculates the distance, as the time from sending to receiving the signals is proportional to the level.
The ultrasonic sensor with integrated transmitter is reliable and accurate, even under difficult conditions. The sensor can measure liquids in a range from 0.07 m to 40 m and has high flexibility in installation due to maximum cable lengths of up to 1000 m. A big advantage with the ultrasonic sensor is the non-contact and therefore very low maintenance level measurement. The flood-proof IP68 housing ensures maintenance-free continuous operation. Depending on requirements, safe operation is offered by ATEX approval in Ex-zones 0, 1 and 2.
Accurate measurements even through steam and dust
The measuring principle of radar measurement is based on extremely short microwave pulses which are emitted by the antenna system to the measured medium, reflected by the product surface and received again by the antenna system. The level is determined depending on the running time. A special time-expansion method enables the exact and reliable measurement of the extremely short signal running times.
A great advantage of the radar sensor is the non-contact and therefore very low-maintenance level measurement. With this measuring technique foam and strong condensate deposits can be penetrated better; it is therefore suitable for particularly difficult process conditions. The radar sensors detect reliably the product surface of most different media independent of steam, gas composition, pressure and temperature changes and thus ensure an optimal process flow. The radar probe is flood-proof due to protection class IP68 and offers safe use according to requirements due to ATEX approval in Ex-zone 0, 1 and 2.
Reliable measurements under water
The method of pressure measurement is suitable whenever there are problems with foam formation on the surface of the medium to be measured.
The measuring principle is based on pressure sensors or pressure transducers which convert the mechanical quantity "pressure" into a directly proportional electrical signal. The amplifier electronics converts the electrical signal of the sensor into a standardized current signal of 4 to 20 mA which is easy to handle. The pressure probe offers high operational reliability due to integrated overvoltage protection and low installation effort due to 2-wire technology. Safe use in hazardous areas due to Ex-protection for zone 0.
Reliable support for aggregate control
In addition, inductive proximity switches are used for the contactless detection of metallic parts. They transmit the necessary digital signals via positions or end positions. Fast switching behavior through electronic output enables reliable switching.
The functional principle is based on the use of the interaction of metallic conductors with their electromagnetic alternating field. Eddy currents are induced in the conductor, which draw energy from the field and thus reduce the height of the oscillation amplitude. This change is evaluated by the inductive sensor. The sensor is flood-proof due to protection class IP67 and with the use of the isolating amplifier transmission of digital signals from the hazardous area is available.
The connection of our measuring systems to a telecontrol system is possible at any time according to customer requirements. Only free software of ABIONIK GmbH is used to guarantee access for third parties at any time.
ABIONIK offers the possibility to record the data of your plant incl. remote maintenance and to carry out an analysis for you e.g. regarding necessary maintenance and to make the data available to you in a database. For example, water levels, times and quantities can be recorded on site for the measurement of hold-up data or transferred directly to the responsible authorities via internet if required.
