Liquicap FMI52 Capacitive Measurement for Various Liquids

Specifications

  • Measuring Principle:
    Capacitive
  • Accuracy:
    Repeatability: ±0.1%
    Linearity Error for Conductive Liquids: <0.25%
  • Max Measurement Distance:
    0.42 m to 10.0 m (1.38 ft to 33 ft)
  • Process Temperature:
    -80°C to 200°C (-112°F to 392°F)
  • Process Pressure:
    Vacuum to 100 bar (Vacuum to 1450 psi)
  • Ambient Temperature:
    -50°C to +70°C (-58°F to +158°F)
  • Main Wetted Parts:
    Insulation materials: FEP, PFA
    Stainless steel: 316L
  • Field of Application:
    The Liquicap FMI52 is designed for continuous level monitoring in liquids, particularly suited for:-
    Small tanks
    Build-up forming media
    Extreme temperature conditions
    The device operates independently of the dielectric constant (dc) for liquids with a conductivity of 100μS/cm or higher, allowing for accurate measurement without the need for recalibration. It is ideal for inventory management solutions when used with the Fieldgate FXA320 for remote value interrogation.
