The FDU92 ultrasonic sensor is for continuous, non-contact, and maintenance-free level measurement of fluids, pastes, sludges, and powdery to coarse bulk materials. But also for flow measurement in open channels and measuring weirs. The measurement is unaffected by dielectric constant, density or humidity and also unaffected by build-up due to the self-cleaning effect of sensors. Suited for explosion-hazardous areas. Maximum measuring range in liquids is 20m (65ft), solids is 10m (33ft).

  • Process connection: Thread
  • Temperature: -40 to +95°C (-40 to +203°F)
  • Pressure: +0.7 to +4bar (+10 to +58psi)
  • Maximum measuring range: Liquids 20m (65ft), solids 10m (33ft)
  • Blocking distance: 0.4m (1.3ft)
  • International explosion protection certificates
Features
  • Integrated temperature sensor for time-of-flight correction. Accurate measurements are possible, even if temperature changes are present
  • Hermetically welded PVDF sensor for highest chemical resistance
  • Suited for rough ambient conditions thanks to separate installation from the transmitter (up to 300m)
  • Reduced build-up formation because of the self-cleaning effect
  • Integrated automatic sensor detection for transmitters FMU90/FMU95 for simple commissioning
  • Weather resistant and flood-proof (IP 68)
  • International Dust-Ex and Gas-Ex certificates available
