Capacitive level probes
Capacitive level probes can be used for
level indication, continuous level measurement,
level detection and switching on solids
or liquids. As capacitive and admittance
level probe manufacturers, VEGA have one
of the longest track records. It has resulted
in a state of the art product range with
a wide capability. Whether you are looking
for Admittance level probes, SMART or even
Profibus capacitive level transmitters,
special self calibrating systems or maybe
just advice on where and how to use it:
VEGA offer unrivalled experience and knowledge.
VEGA Series 2 wire,
SMART and Profibus transmitters are for
level measurement, VEGACAP with integral
switch outputs are for level switching.
Capacitive level probes are for solids or
liquids level measurement, switching or
interface measurement. Unaffected by pressure
and vacuum along with highly resistant coatings
and rugged designs it makes it a great technology
for aggressive products. It is especially
ideal for vessels containing dedicated products
either for storage or processing.
VEGACAP makes a great level switch that
is resistant to build-up, and coating. There
are self-tuning probes that never need readjusting
and can handle changing conductivity in
many applications too.
Using VEGACAP for continuous level, the
full height of the vessel can be measured
and it is insensitive to obstructions or
surface conditions. VEGA sensors all have
a special Admittance probe technology (Phase
Selective Admittance) for level measurement.
PSA looks at the resistance path of adhering
products, to automatically compensate for
build up, it can also handle some varying
conductivity or even changing humidity.
Units have built in linearisation software
to calculate the level versus shape and
provide a direct output of volume on:

| |
- Storage of solids or liquids
- Processing and manufacturing of products
- Protection of overfilling and dry running
- Silo’s and Hoppers
- Interface measurement and detection
– e.g. oil on water
|
Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Oil and Gas, Food,
Dairy, Beverage, Paper, Automotive, Aggregates,
Steel, Water and Waste water and Marine…
and many others - just ask
us for details.
VEGACAP level measurement or switching has
no moving parts; admittance level systems
can be almost immune even to heavy build
up.

- Very cost effective
- Smaller storage or process control applications
- VEGA’s patented PSA (Phase Selective
Admittance) system
- Wide range of designs to suit special
applications
- Range from the very simple to the very
rugged and complex
- Electrodes can be formed to suit vessel
shape
- SMART - calibrated off line by PC with
no product change in many applications
|
The vessel, capacitive electrode and product
to be measured form an electrical capacitor.
The level change is monitored as a direct
result of the variation in capacitance value
around the probe, dependent upon the degree
of immersion
There are two basic types (we are always
pleased to advise or test your products)
A conductive product (water based, acids,
alkali) the probe is insulated from the
product – e.g. with PTFE. A non-conductive
product (solvent, oils, resins) the probe
is not insulated from the product –
e.g. stainless steel or alloy.
