Product
Guided Wave Radar
-
A top-down, direct sensing technology that uses low-energy microwave pulses sent down a probe to accurately detect the boundary between two immiscible liquids.
-
Product
Radiation-Based
-
A non-contact, industrial process technology that uses gamma radiation to detect the boundary layer (interface) between different materials.

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.

Product
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
Flow
-
In flow measurement, the amount of material that flows through a certain pipe cross section per time unit is measured.
-
Product
Ultrasonic
VEGASON
-
In non-contact ultrasonic level measurement, the sensor emits ultrasonic pulses in the direction of the medium, which then reflects them back.

Product
Process Pressure
VEGABAR
-
Pressure transmitters measure the pressure of liquids, gases and vapours in pipes or closed vessels. The pressure of the measured medium acts on a pressure measuring cell, which converts it into an electronic signal.The process pressure transmitters are ideal for detecting the relative or absolute pressure in applications with condensation or rapid temperature changes.

Product
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.
-
Product
Hydrostatic
VEGABAR, VEGAWELL, VEGADIF
-
In hydrostatic level measurement, the measuring cell of the pressure transmitter detects even the slightest changes in hydrostatic pressure, which increases or decreases depending on the filling level. The acting pressure is converted into an electrical signal by the integrated electronics and then outputted as an output signal. Different types of measuring cells are used in level measurement based on the hydrostatic principle.

Product
Radiation-Based
PROTRAC
-
Radiometric point level detection operates with a radioactive source that emits focussed gamma radiation. The radiation is picked up by a detector on the opposite side of the vessel. When the gamma rays are blocked by the medium, the detector receives little or no radiation. The intensity changes of the incoming radiation are forwarded as signals by a relay.

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
Vibration
VEGASWING, VEGAVIB, VEGAWAVE
-
In point level measurement with vibrating level switches, a rod or a fork is set vibrating. When the vibrating probe comes into contact with the medium, the vibration changes and the vibrating level switch outputs a switching command. Vibrating level switches are used as overfill protection devices or low-level indicators in liquids as well as in granular and powdery bulk solids.

Product
Differential Pressure (Density)
VEGADIF
-
In density measurement of liquids with differential pressure, two pressure measuring points are mounted at a fixed distance from each other. There are thus two different pressures acting on the system. The differential pressure transducer calculates the density of the medium from the resulting pressure difference.

WEIGHTRAC
-
In radiometric measurement, an isotope emits focussed gamma rays. The sensor on the opposite side of the conveyor belt receives the radiation.
