Level transmitter differentiates between
fluids
Unlike any other transmitter, liquid-liquid interface levels are measured by the Accu-Gage sonar level transmitter without requiring measurable electrical property or density differences.
Unlike any other transmitter, liquid-liquid interface levels are measured by the Accu-Gage sonar level transmitter without requiring measurable electrical property or density differences Using patented sensor technology, sonar pulses are reflected off the physical interface boundary and surface level, allowing simultaneous interface, level - even the accumulation of solids on the bottom - measurement

Optical sensors are easy to set up, easy to use
The new B45 series of intelligent optical sensors from ABB Control is designed to offer maximum versatility and ease of use for a wide variety of control applications.
Accu-Gage is suitable for all types of process vessels and storage tanks - including floating roof, cone roof, bullets or spheres.
Grade mounting avoids roof access for maintenance or gauging on storage tanks.
Accu-Gage can be installed in the top, bottom or sidewall without having to take the vessel or tank out of service, thereby avoiding costly down time.
Reliability is high and maintenance is minimal because there are no moving parts.
Measurement accuracy is obtained by continuous self-calibration against a known reference target - eliminating effects of temperature, pressure, density and composition changes.
Measurement data is transmitted as up to four individually isolated 4-20mA outputs to the user's display or controller.
Developed by CTI Manufacturing over a 12-year period, the Accu-Gage has proven successful in materials as diverse as asphalt, liquid sulphur, water, cooking oil, sulphuric acid, crude oil and butane.
