Process data
Measuring task:
Level and pressure measurement, point level detection
Measuring point:
Reactor
Measuring range up to:
5 m
Medium:
Raw materials and mixed products
Process temperature:
+20 … +200° C
Process pressure:
-1 … +5 bar
Special challenges:
High temperatures, internal tank installations, changing media, Condensate
Application
The measuring conditions inside a reaction vessel in a multi-product, multi-line production facility are characterized by changing media as well as widely fluctuating temperatures and pressures. Depending on the properties of the raw materials, either alloy, stainless steel or enamel lined vessels are used. Different components like stirrers, dryers and centrifuges also vary in each process. To ensure reliable operation and high productivity, both level and pressure have to be continuously measured and monitored.
