Field of application

Levelflex FMP54 for continuous level measurement in liquids under extreme conditions. The process connection with its ceramic-graphite seal safeguards high temperature and high pressure applications as they occur in steam boilers and toxic media like ammonia. The gas tight feedthrough guarantees additional safety. Only the gas phase compensation of the FMP54 gives reliable results in case of gas and steam phases. Reliable measurement in case of moving surface and foam or in changing medias.

Version with rod, rope or coax probe.
