Coninuous Level Measurement of Liquids and Slurries in Open or Closed Vessels

Siemens (Germany) is expanding its ultrasonic level transmitter portfolio by adding the Sitrans LU150, a noncontacting ultrasonic transmitter with a range of up to five meters (16 feet). The device incorporates the sensor and the electronics in a single compact unit and can be used for continuous level measurement of liquids and slurries in open or closed vessels. IP68 rated, the Sitrans LU150 has a rugged, fully encapsulated PVDF sensor that is resistant to corrosion, chemicals and extreme shock.

The device is designed primarily for use in the water, wastewater and energy management industry. With only two cables to be connected, the Sitrans LU150 can be quickly and easily installed. Its twokey interface makes it simple to configure and easy to use. The Sonic Intelligence signal processing software delivers reliable measurement readings by differentiating, for example, between the true material level and false echoes.
