Level Switches
-
In point level detection, a point level switch detects when a certain predefined level is reached. Such a device is employed when it is not necessary to measure every possible intermediate level, as is the case with continuous level measurement. A switching command starts or stops filling equipment such as conveyors or pumps. Point level switches outputting a binary signal can be integrated into a process control system.

Interface Measurement
-
Interfaces, that is, boundaries between separation layers, can be found everywhere in the process industry, e.g. in the chemical or oil & gas industry. An interface arises when two media with different densities are filled into a container: for example, water and oil. To separate the two media from one another, it is necessary to determine where the transition from one medium to the other is located. VEGA sensors can be used to measure both the total level and the interface reliably.

Differential Pressure
-
In differential pressure measurement, different pressures act on an oil-filled, pressure difference measuring cell from two sides. The instrument converts the pressure differential into an electronic signal.

Differential Pressure (Flow)
VEGADIF
-
In flow-rate measurement via differential pressure measurement, the differential pressure is measured with the help of a differential pressure device, e.g. an orifice plate or a dynamic pressure probe (pitot tube). The differential pressure transducer calculates the flow rate from the measured value provided by differential pressure system. Thanks to the finely graduated ranges of the measuring cells and the minimal measurement deviation, very accurate flow-rate measurement can be realized.

Capacitive
VEGACAL
-
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.

Product
Radiation-Based
PROTRAC
-
In radiometric, i.e. radiation-based, level measurement, a slightly radioactive isotope emits focused gamma rays.The sensor, which is mounted on the opposite side of the vessel, receives this radiation. Since gamma rays are attenuated when penetrating matter, the sensor can calculate level, point level, density or mass flow from the intensity of the incoming radiation.

Product
Flow
-
In flow measurement, the amount of material that flows through a certain pipe cross section per time unit is measured.

Radiometric Principle
-
In radiometric density measurement, an isotope emits focussed gamma rays. The detector on the opposite side of the pipeline receives the radiation.

Product
Conductive
VEGAKON, EL
-
When the electrodes of the conductive point level sensor come into contact with a conductive fluid, a small alternating current begins to flow.
-
Product
Radar
VEGAPULS
-
In continuous non-contact level measurement with radar, the sensor sends microwave signals towards the medium from above. The surface of the medium reflects the signals back in the direction of the sensor. Using the received microwave signals, the sensor determines the distance to the product surface and calculates the level from it.

Electronic Differential Pressure
-
An innovative software and hardware concept makes it possible to combine any two pressure transmitters of the VEGABAR 80 series into an electronic differential pressure system. Electronic differential pressure measurement is often used for filters, pumps and pipelines.
