Product Description
Capacitance level switch -LMC
Working Principle of Capacitance Point Level Switch: - LMC Capacitance Points Level Switch consists of highly sensitive parts that include
- a.Sensing rope or rod depending on application type
- b.Metallic Earth extension tubes
- This static level sensor acts as analogical multiplication of dielectric constant of air (air)1} and probe diameter in case there is no material is present.
- In presence of material, its dielectric constant {(material)>2} is used to multiply the level switch.
- This difference in capacitance value is converted into switching value of limit switch.
Applications of Capacitance Point Level Switch: - Perfect for free flowing solids and liquid substances
- Available with top and side mounting facility based option
- Single probe based design with pump or multipoint or single point switch controlling arrangement
- Facility to select maximum and minimum fail safe value
- With having ceramic insulation arrangement, it can endure up to 600 degree C processing temperature
- Up to 15 bar of process pressure
- Coated with PTFE to avoid conductive and corrosive fluids
Capacitance Point Level Switch Features: - Solid structure
