Field of application

Levelflex FMP55 guided radar with SensorFusion offers the worldwide first combination of the capacitance and guided radar measuring principle in one device. The instrument guarantees safe measured value acquisition even in emulsion layers and issues level and interface layer signals simultaneously. This makes the FMP55 Multiparameter the new standard in interface measurement especially in the oil & gas, chemical and petrochemical industry.

Version with rod, rope or coax probe.

Process connections: Thread or flange
Temperature: -50 to +200°C (-58 to +392°F)
Pressure: -1 to +40bar (-14.5 to +580psi)
Maximum measuring range: Rod 4m (13t), rope 10m (33ft), coax 6m (20ft)
Accuracy: Rod ±2mm (0.08")
International explosion protection certificates, overfill prevention WHG, SIL, marine approval
