Special challenges
Low temperature, low dielectric constants
Application
LPG tanks are usually only accessible for service and maintenance work every few years during shut-down periods. In addition, the containers are mostly installed underground or covered with earth. The solution is a process independent measuring system that delivers safe and reliable readings despite low dielectric constants and low temperatures.
Your benefit
Reliable
High measuring accuracy despite low dielectric constants
Cost effective
Maintenance-free operation
User friendly
Sensor replacement even during operation thanks to cut-off valve
