Guided radar measurement Time-of-Flight Levelflex FMP51

The standard sensor for highest demands in liquid level measurement

Levelflex FMP51 for level measurement even under extreme process conditions like high temperature and high pressure in the process industry. FMP51 offers maximum reliability even in case of moved surface and foam or when numerous tank baffles interfere with the measurement. Levelflex FMP51 is used for continuous level measurement of liquids, pastes and slurries but also for interface measurement. The measurement is not affected by changing media, temperature changes, gas blankets or vapors.
