Kobold has capacitive level indicators, type NMC, specifically designed to measure liquid levels in tanks. They consist of a measuring probe and a connecting head with a plug-in evaluation module. Depending on the operating conditions, different probes are available:
• NMC-N: Standard version with metal tanks inserted, their walls undertaking the task of a second electrode. It is applicable for fluid foods as well as for different waters.
• NMC-S: The two probe sensor for non-metal tanks for operation in aggressive media.
• NMC-T: Especially for operation in non-metal holding tanks and media of lower conductivity, the designed probe consists of an interior probe and a surrounding pipe of stainless steel serving as a reference electrode.
• NMC-H: The electronics of one stick probe of stainless steel is thermally insulated by a special intermediate piece so that the sensor technology can easily handle up to 125°C.
Working principle
The measuring system is based on the capacitive measuring method. The measuring probe and the tank wall, or the second electrode form the plates of a capacitor; the medium in the tank is the dielectric fluid. The capacity depends on the medium. The more the medium touches the measuring probe, the higher the capacity. This change is detected by the plug-in evaluation module and transformed in a percentage display or a 4-20 mA signal. As there are no movable parts, the unit operates almost wear-free. Lengths of PTFE coated measuring probes of stainless steel can be freely chosen up to 4000 mm. Problematic apertures at holding tank base or at the side can be avoided by virtue of a simple and secure assembly from top. Fields of application include:
Level measurement in oil storage VEGA Controls SA
Level Measurement & Control
Measuring the level of crude oil in storage is essential for safe and efficient operations. VEGA offers solutions that effectively address the challenges, ensuring precise and consistent level measurements in crude oil storage facilities. VEGA’s sensors offer reliable data on the volume, level and pressure of all types of media. Accurate level measurement is complicated by crude oil thermal expansion properties, particularly in lighter oil grades.
