compact device is suitable for stackable
tanks and enables a plug-andplay
solution for flexible and easy installation.
In addition to the measured
level, the user receives information
on the location of their storage tanks
and containers via local mobile phone
masts, enabling users to optimize logistic
and storage processes and save
valuable time by providing continuous
and easy access to inventory information.
The free-radiating measuring
device covers measuring ranges up
to 15 m and temperatures between
-20 and 60°C. - Endress+Hauser,

These radar transmitters are
easy to configure
Two recent additions to the Sitrans
LR100 series of 80 GHz radar transmitters
(photo) are compact, and deliver
robust, reliable measurements,
even in challenging environments.
Both deliver fast and easy setup. Sitrans
LR140 features 4-20-mA simplicity
and is configured via Bluetooth
wireless technology and the Sitrans
mobile IQ App. Sitrans LR150 offers
a four-button user interface on an optional
human-machine interface (HMI)
for configuration or monitoring. Configuration
is also available via Bluetooth
wireless technology and the Sitrans
mobile IQ App, or remotely with
4-20-mA HART using Simatic PDM.
The transmitter becomes operational
in minutes using the Quick Start Wizard.

Measuring the level in
delayed coker units
One of the most critical measurements
in a delayed coking unit (DCU; photo)
is the level measurement inside the
drums. For a long time, neutron backscatter
measurements were used for
this purpose. In the meantime, this
technology is complemented or even
completely replaced by continuous
gamma level measurement. Among
the advantages of this company's
nuclear level-measuring devices offer
when used in coke drums (photo)
are: increased throughput; increased
reliability; reduced anti-foam chemical
usage; and reduced foam-overs.
The challenges of the level measurement,
as well as the advantages and
disadvantages of these technologies,
can be learned in the newest whitepaper
from this company. - Berthold

This app connects smartphone
to level sensors
The Tools app (photo) is mobilebased
software that enables the system
status to be called up remotely,
thereby eliminating the need to climb
to the top of a tall vessel, or enter a
hazardous zone to read sensor measurements.
The sensors deliver data
that are not only needed for direct
control, but can also provide decisive
information for planning maintenance
work or eliminating faults. The Tools
app offers the ability to remotely operate
this company's sensors equipped
with Bluetooth, for setting them up,
as well as viewing and evaluating their
measured values. Current status information
can be easily visualized on
smartphones and tablets. Now, especially
in the case of Vegaswing 60
series level switches, proof testing is
said to be easier and more efficient
when using the latest version of the
Tools app. - VEGA Grieshaber KG,

A new level in capacitance
measurement technology
The Capanivo 7000 sensor (photo)
is suitable for installations in all kinds
of liquids, pastes, foams and slurries.
The newly redesigned series now
benefits from a new look, new features,
a range of new models and the
latest IO-Link technology on board.
Due to the compact design with 1/2in.
process connection, the sensor is
suitable for use in small vessels and
pipes. In addition, the sensor, which
has been developed in accordance
with EHEDG guidelines, meets increased
hygiene requirements. In addition
to the stainless-steel models,
there are also versions made entirely
of durable, chemical-resistant plastics,
with wetted parts made from
PVDF for maximum chemical resistance.
With the IO-Link technology,
digital data collected by the sensor
can be transferred quickly and easily.
The CN 7 capacitance sensor works
in all types of vessels, pipes and silos.
