Vega
Level measurement under extreme temperatures
Vega's high-temperature version of the 'Vegapuls 6X' radar sensor is suitable for processes at temperatures of up to +450 °C, such as iron briquetting, in which porous sponge iron mass passes through heat-resistant roller presses at temperatures of +400 °C and above.
A new type of sensor design, in which the combination of ceramic hollow cone and graphite seal provides additional measurement reliability, protects the radar sensors. According to the manufacturer, the performance of the sensor is significantly increased by minimizing the mass to be penetrated by the hollow cone. The use of graphite as a sealing material also contributes significantly to the robustness of the sensor. As a result, it offers temperature resistance from -196 to +450 °C and pressure resistance from -1 bar to +160 bar. Even large temperature fluctuations are no problem. With a wide range of available process connections, compact threads and small flanges, the radar sensor from Vega works without a block distance, so that the process containers can be filled right up to the top edge without any problems.
