Capacitance level probe comes up to date
Available in both rope and rod versions, the Liquicap M can accurately measure level up to 10m.
Great ideas are timeless, and the principle behind the capacitance level probe - the very first instrument made by Endress+Hauser - is still as sound as ever More than 50 years on, the new Liquicap M, combines this tried and trusted principle with leading-edge technology

Level sensor handles large pressure range
Liquicap M offers a SIL2 rating according to IEC61508 for both low and high demand mode and is ATEX certified to EEx ia and EEx d for hazardous area use.
Flowmeter meets demanding hygiene standards
The hygienic design of Promass P allows it to drain completely so that no fluids get trapped inside, making it ideal for use in skid-mount applications.

Solicap M's optional gastight feedthrough provides protection against toxic or aggressive media
With its variety of housings, certifications, approvals and process connections (from 0.5in), users can tailor the Liquicap M to exact application requirements.
Available in both rope and rod versions, the Liquicap M can accurately measure level up to 10m.
It offers outstanding performance in storage, buffer and process tanks and features two-stage overvoltage protection to safeguard against electrostatic discharge.
It can also be used in viscous media, thanks to active build-up compensation.
Ideal for the food industry, the Liquicap M is suitable for both CIP and SIP systems, and combines a wide range of hygienic process connections with FDA and EHEDG approvals.
It is also designed for the real world: in applications with strong build-up, Liquicap M has cutting-edge algorithms to safeguard stable measured values.
And its short response time means it is particularly suitable for use in small tanks, where rapid level changes occur and the measurement range must cover the entire contents of the tank.
Also ideal for the chemical industry, Liquicap M offers a SIL2 rating according to IEC61508 for both low and high demand mode, and is ATEX certified to EEx ia and EEx d for hazardous area use.
It features a gas-tight feedthrough for protection against aggressive or toxic media, often found in solvent or hydrocarbon applications.
Best of all, the device continuously monitors the probe insulation, so that any rod breakage or damage to insulation is immediately detected to minimise measurement errors and plant downtime. Request a free brochure from Endress + Hauser ...
