Level instruments
Sunday, March 15th, 2020
Endress+Hauser introduces the Liquiphant FTL51B and FTL41 vibrating-fork (vibronic) level instruments. The FTL51B features industry 4.0 and IIoT capabilities. The FTL51B can be used in storage tanks, containers and pipes for point-level detection of all types of liquids. The instrument’s vibronic sensor is not affected by changing media properties, flow, turbulence, gas bubbles, foam, vibration or build-up and works in process temperatures of -58 to 302°F (-50 to 150°C) and pressures up to 1,450 psi (100 bar). The economical, general-purpose FTL41 is similar to the FTL51B, but works at lower pressures, up to 580 psi (40 bar) and with a narrower temperature range of -40 to 302°F (-40 to 150 °C).
