Radar Level Sensor for High Silos Levelflex FMP57
- SKU:
- Levelflex FMP57 series
- Weight:
- 0.00 Grams
Description
Application
The Levelflex FMP57 is designed to meet the highest requirements for bulk solids measurement, making it ideal for use in high silos, bunkers, or stockpiles. With rope probes available up to a length of 45 meters, the FMP57 is well-suited for high silo applications. This guided radar sensor is used for continuous level measurement in powdery to granular bulk solids, with performance unaffected by dust, filling noises, temperature stratification, or gas layers.
Available with a rod or rope probe configuration.
- Process connections: Thread or flange
- Temperature range: -40 to +150°C (-40 to +302°F)
- Pressure range: -1 to +16 bar (-14.5 to +232 psi)
- Maximum measuring range: Rod – 4m (13ft), Rope – 45m (148ft)
- Accuracy: ±2 mm (0.08")
The Levelflex FMP57 also features international explosion protection certifications, SIL compliance, marine approval, and a 5-point linearity protocol.
Benefits
- Reliable measurement even under changing product and process conditions.
- HistoROM data management for quick and easy commissioning, maintenance, and diagnostics.
- High reliability ensured by the advanced Multi-Echo Tracking evaluation.
- Developed in line with IEC 61508 standards up to SIL3, ensuring robust hardware and software performance.
- Heartbeat Technology for cost-effective and safe plant operation throughout the entire life cycle.
- Seamless integration into control or asset management systems, with intuitive, menu-guided operation (locally or via the control system).
- World's easiest proof test for SIL and WHG, helping save time and reduce costs.
