Reduction of the max. possible measuring range through:
Media with poor reflection properties
Angle of repose
Extremely loose surfaces of bulk solids, e.g. bulk solids with low bulk weight for pneumatic filling
Build-up, above all of moist products
Field of application
Micropilot FMR56 is particularly designed for light-duty process conditions as they occur in silos or bins for solids. Micropilot free space radar is used for continuous, non-contact level measurement in powdery to granular bulk solids. Dust, filling noises, temperature layers and gas layers do not affect the measurement.
PP-plated horn antenna can be easily aligned to the surface of the solids by the mounting bracket or a turnable seal.Process connections: Mounting bracket or slip-on flangeTemperature: -40 to +80°C (-40 to +176°F)Pressure: -1 to +3bar (-14.5 to +43.5psi)Maximum measuring range: 30m (98ft)K-band: 26GHzInternational explosion protection certificates, SIL, 5-point linearity protocol
