Wireless Communication
-
The wireless communication devices are used when measured values have to be transferred from remote monitoring stations or mobile tanks to data collection centers. They also enable wireless remote diagnostics and maintenance of the connected sensors.

Capacitive Level Switches
VEGACAP, VEGAPOINT
-
In capacitive point level detection, the sensor and vessel form the two electrodes of a capacitor. Any capacitance change caused by a level change is converted into a switching signal. Thanks to the shortenable cable and rod versions, level switches can be perfectly adapted to any application. They are often used for overfill or dry run protection as well as oil/water or foam detection.

Product
Indicating Instruments
-
In continuous level measurement, the filling height in a vessel is repeatedly detected. The measured value is further processed, e.g. as a 4 … 20 mA signal in a PLC or process control system. Indication of the measured value directly on site is also frequently requested.

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
Electronic Differential Pressure
Density Measurement
-
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 to measure density. Electronic differential pressure measurement is used for measuring density change and/or for compensation when the level needs to be measured.

Product
Software
-
Computer programs, algorithms, and digital logic (FPGA) used to manipulate, filter, and analyze signals after analog-to-digital conversion.
-
Product
Radiation-Based
-
A non-contact, industrial process technology that uses gamma radiation to detect the boundary layer (interface) between different materials.

Product
Level Measurement
-
In continuous level measurement, the level of a medium in a tank or silo is detected with the help of different measuring methods and converted into an electronic signal. The level signal is either displayed directly on site or incorporated into a process control or management system.

Product
Guided Wave Radar (GWR)
VEGAFLEX
-
In level measurement with guided wave radar, microwave pulses are conducted along a cable or rod probe and reflected by the product surface. The measuring probe of the TDR sensor ensures that the signal reaches the medium undisturbed. Liquids, bulk solids and separation layers (interfaces) in liquids are commonly measured with this measuring technique.

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.

Magnetic Level Indicator
VEGAMAG
-
A safe, durable, and non-invasive instrument used to measure liquid levels in tanks or pressurized vessels.

Product
Radiometric Measuring Principle
WEIGHTRAC
-
In radiometric measurement, an isotope emits focussed gamma rays. The sensor on the opposite side of the conveyor belt receives the radiation.
-
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
Hydrostatic Pressure
VEGABAR, VEGAWELL
-
The measuring cell of the pressure transducer detects minute changes in hydrostatic pressure, which increases or decreases depending on the filling level. The acting pressure is converted into an output signal by the integrated electronics.

Product
Controllers
-
Sensors gather measured values in a vessel and forward them to the controller. Through an adjustment in the controller, the measured values can be adapted to the specific conditions at the measuring point.
