Measuring range up to
3 m
Medium
Highly toxic substances, e.g. phosgene
Process temperature
-40 … +60 °C
Process pressure
0 … 0 bar
Special challenges
Highly toxic, chemically aggressive, volatile media
Application
For extremely toxic substances such as phosgene, absolute control over the process is a necessity. In industrial applications, these products are only used in hermetically closed circuits. To minimize the inherent risks, independent protection devices form an integral part of the tank equipment. Moreover, it is important to keep the number of tank openings as small as possible. An external level measuring system that includes point level detection is ideal for such situations.
