Measuring task:
Level measurement
Measuring point:
Vessel
Measuring range up to:
10 m
Medium:
Mud (drilling mud)
Process temperature:
0 … +90 °C
Process pressure:
0 … 5 bar
Special challenges:
Heavy contamination
Application
In the mud tanks, agitators or jet nozzles stir and mix the mud to ensure a homogeneous mixture. To enable a continuous process, the level measurement must be reliable and independent of the composition of the drilling mud.
