Continuous Capacitance Level Transmitters From Siemens
Continuous Capacitance Level Transmitters From Siemens
Capacitance level measurement using advanced technology.
Siemens is the industry leader in capacitance level measurement. Through the strategic use of advanced technologies — especially the unique Inverse Frequency Shift feature — Siemens guarantees reliable, high-precision measurements with excellent repeatability even in dusty, turbulent and steamy environments or in situations with material buildup.
The Siemens portfolio for capacitance level measurement offers a broad range of sensor options and modular probe versions. Siemens offers two series for capacitance level measurement:
SITRANS LC300 for continuous level measurement for liquids and bulk solids, and
SITRANS LC500 for continuous level measurement or interface measurement in difficult applications.
SITRANS LC300 is an inverse frequency shift capacitance continuous level transmitter for liquids and solids applications. It is ideal for standard industrial applications in chemical, hydrocarbon processing, food and beverage and mining, aggregate and cement industries.
SITRANS LC300 is a 2-wire level measurement instrument combining a sophisticated, yet easy-to-adjust microprocessor with field-proven probes. It is available in two versions: rod and cable.
SITRANS LC300 has a stainless steel process connection with PFA-lined probe. Materials with low or high dielectric properties are accurately measured and patented Active-Shield technology helps in ignoring the effects of buildup near vessel nozzle.
Key Applications: Conductive and non-conductive media including liquids and solids in standard industrial processes and bulk solids applications involving dust or chemical processes involving vapour.
SITRANS LC500 is an inverse frequency shift capacitance level or interface transmitter for extreme and critical process conditions, such as oil and liquified natural gas (LNG) as well as toxic and aggressive chemicals and vapours.
SITRANS LC500’s advanced electronics provide one-step, push-button calibration and local display for easy on-site installation and setup.
The unique mechanical probe design coupled with a high performance transmitter gives superior performance in toxic and aggressive chemicals, acids, caustics, adhesives and in viscous conductive and non-conductive materials.
The SMART 2-wire transmitter has HART® communications for remote commissioning and inspection.
Key Applications: Oil/water or foam/liquid interface measurement in separators or coalescers, cryogenic applications including C02 and liquified natural gas (LNG), distillation/regeneration tanks with high temperatures
