VEGA VEGABAR Hydrostatic Level Measurement

Product Overview

VEGA VEGABAR hydrostatic level measurement is a highly accurate method of measuring liquids and in this method, the measuring cell of the pressure transmitter detects even the slightest changes in hydrostatic pressure, which increases or decreases depending on the filling level.

In turn, the acting pressure is converted into an electrical signal by the internal electronics and is then outputted as an output signal.

Various types of measuring cells are used throughout level measurement based upon the hydrostatic principle – this states that the pressure at any point in a fluid at rest is just due to the weight of the overlying fluid.

The Advantages Of Hydrostatic Level Measurement

Hydrostatic level measurement is a popular method of level measurement due to its reliability, robustness and simple installation of the technology. The proven and established measuring principle is field tested over million times.

The robust measuring process is not influenced by disruptive factors such as dust, foam or vapours and is also unaffected by many physical characteristics such as conductivity, dielectric coefficient or viscosity.

The ambient pressure that acts on the medium as an “additional force” always resembles the ambient pressure acting on the whole system, including the level sensor.

VEGA VEGABAR Hazardous Area Level Sensors

The full range of VEGA VEGABAR hydrostatic level measurement sensors are suitable for use in hazardous areas and are manufactured with a wide range of hazardous area certifications. Approvals include ATEX, IEC, FM, CSA, Gost, Overfill protection, Ship, SIL2.

Many industries require hazardous area level measurement including food and beverage, chemical, oil and gas, automotive, paper and pharmaceutical.

Product Benefits & Applications

VEGA hydrostatic level measurement sensors are not affected by foam or any internal vessel installations. The hydrostatic pressure transmitters can be adapted to the process by selection of the appropriate measuring cell and suitable housing material.

VEGAWELL and VEGABAR hydrostatic level sensors are designed to measure levels in a wide range of liquids with widely different properties and can also measure the temperature of the medium.

A long product life span is achieved through ceramic measuring cells offer excellent long-term stability and high overload resistance. In addition, the metallic measuring cells are also capable of covering large measuring areas.
