Function

The VEGAFLEX 66 transmits microwave pulses along a guided probe and measures the time taken for reflections to return from the product surface. This allows highly accurate and reliable level measurement regardless of changing product properties or difficult process conditions. Unlike conventional technologies, performance is largely unaffected by foam, vapors, pressure fluctuations, condensation, or dust.

Typical Applications

• Chemical reactors
• Petrochemical processing
• Power generation plants
• High-pressure storage vessels
• Steam boilers
• Oil and gas facilities
• Bulk solids silos
• Process tanks and columns
• Hazardous area installations
