Field of application

The Deltabar FMD71 is an electronic differential pressure system used to measure pressure, level, volume, or mass of liquids in pressurized tanks or distillation columns/evaporators. The high pressure sensor (HP) measures the hydrostatic pressure, while the low pressure sensor (LP) measures the head pressure. The level is then calculated in the transmitter using these two digital values. This electronic differential pressure system eliminates the issues associated with traditional differential pressure measurements.

For differential pressure, level, volume or mass measurement of liquids in pressurized tanks and distillation columns/evaporators.

• Process connections: Threads, flanges and hygienic connections

• Process temperature: -40 up to +150°C (-40 to +302°F)

• Measuring range: 100mbar to +40bar (6 to 600psi)
