VEGACAL: Capacitive level measurement

In capacitive level measurement, the sensor and the vessel form the two electrodes of a capacitor. Any change in level causes a capacitance change, which is in turn converted into a level signal.
Thanks to versions with shortenable cables and rods, the capacitive level sensors cover a wide variety of applications.
The advantages
  • Capacitive level measurement enables measurement without blind spots over the entire sensor length
  • Fully insulated capacitive sensors also measure aggressive liquids
  • Cost-effective measurement for trouble-free and maintenance-free operation

Function

In capacitive level measurement, capacitive sensor and vessel form the two electrodes of a capacitor. Any change in capacitance due to a level change is converted into a level signal.

Series

Measuring probe - with rod up to 6 m - with cable up to 32 m Full or partial insulation determines whether the sensor is used in conductive or non-conductive media

Mounting

The capacitive probe can be mounted universally. In horizontal round tanks, spherical tanks or other asymmetrical tank shapes, a version with concentric tube is recommended.

Connection

The instrument is connected with standard two-wire cable.

Setup

To be able to display the actual product level, the measured capacitance must be assigned to the percentage height. To carry out this adjustment, the capacitance is entered when the tank is empty and full.
