March 2007 -- Another innovation from Vega has been released, allowing reliable level measurement of liquified gases in cryogenic conditions.
The low temperature version of the Vegapuls 63 can be used in applications up to -170°C, where liquified gases in vessels need to be monitored. Such gases include methane, ethane, hydrogen sulphide and propane. Although the gases may be contained in vessels, it is recommended that the level measurement be carried out in a connecting standpipe.
To protect the electronics against extremely low temperatures, a temperature adapter was integrated into the sensor. While the electronics housing remains accessible, the process fitting can be kept completely isolated. The sensor has an Ex zone approval in the temperature range of -170 to +150°C.
The Vegapuls 63 low temperature version is available from Vega Instruments SA.
