Product
Capacitive
VEGACAL
-
In capacitive level measurement, the sensor and the vessel form the two electrodes of a capacitor. Any change in level causes a capacitance change, which is in turn converted into a level signal.

Product
Overvoltage Protection Instruments
-
Safety devices designed to protect sensitive electrical equipment from voltage spikes, surges, or sustained excessive voltage.

Product
Hydrostatic
VEGABAR, VEGAWELL, VEGADIF
-
In hydrostatic level measurement, the measuring cell of the pressure transmitter detects even the slightest changes in hydrostatic pressure, which increases or decreases depending on the filling level. The acting pressure is converted into an electrical signal by the integrated electronics and then outputted as an output signal. Different types of measuring cells are used in level measurement based on the hydrostatic principle.

Differential Pressure (Flow)
VEGADIF
-
In flow-rate measurement via differential pressure measurement, the differential pressure is measured with the help of a differential pressure device, e.g. an orifice plate or a dynamic pressure probe (pitot tube). The differential pressure transducer calculates the flow rate from the measured value provided by differential pressure system. Thanks to the finely graduated ranges of the measuring cells and the minimal measurement deviation, very accurate flow-rate measurement can be realized.

Radiometric Measuring Principle
WEIGHTRAC
-
In radiometric measurement, an isotope emits focussed gamma rays. The sensor on the opposite side of the conveyor belt receives the radiation.
-
Product
Separating Instruments
-
Separators separate intrinsically safe from non-intrinsically safe circuits. Distinguishing features are the type of power supply and the size of Ex-specific characteristics.

Product
Radiation-Based
PROTRAC
-
In radiometric, i.e. radiation-based, level measurement, a slightly radioactive isotope emits focused gamma rays.The sensor, which is mounted on the opposite side of the vessel, receives this radiation. Since gamma rays are attenuated when penetrating matter, the sensor can calculate level, point level, density or mass flow from the intensity of the incoming radiation.

Product
Conductive
VEGAKON, EL
-
When the electrodes of the conductive point level sensor come into contact with a conductive fluid, a small alternating current begins to flow.
-
Product
Wireless Communication
-
The wireless communication devices are used when measured values have to be transferred from remote monitoring stations or mobile tanks to data collection centers. They also enable wireless remote diagnostics and maintenance of the connected sensors.

Product
Level Switches
-
In point level detection, a point level switch detects when a certain predefined level is reached. Such a device is employed when it is not necessary to measure every possible intermediate level, as is the case with continuous level measurement. A switching command starts or stops filling equipment such as conveyors or pumps. Point level switches outputting a binary signal can be integrated into a process control system.
-
Product
Radiation-Based
-
A non-contact, industrial process technology that uses gamma radiation to detect the boundary layer (interface) between different materials.

Product
Level Measurement
-
In continuous level measurement, the level of a medium in a tank or silo is detected with the help of different measuring methods and converted into an electronic signal. The level signal is either displayed directly on site or incorporated into a process control or management system.
-
Product
Ultrasonic
VEGASON
-
In non-contact ultrasonic level measurement, the sensor emits ultrasonic pulses in the direction of the medium, which then reflects them back.
-
Product
Pressure
-
Pressure transmitters measure process pressures as well as the levels of liquids, gases and vapours.
-
Product
Controllers
-
Sensors gather measured values in a vessel and forward them to the controller. Through an adjustment in the controller, the measured values can be adapted to the specific conditions at the measuring point.
