Liquiphant FTL63 Hygienic Point Level Switch For Liquids

Brand: Endress+Hauser

Specifically developed for the food and beverage and life sciences industries, the Liquiphant FTL63 is compliant to all their hygienic requirements. The proven vibronic technology works reliably in all pumpable liquids, even where other measuring principles reach their limits due to changes in conductivity or dielectric constant (DC value), deposits, foam, turbulences or air bubbles. Therefore, the technology is the perfect substitute for float switches, capacitive or optical sensors.

Liquiphant FTL63 is used for point level detection in process and storage tanks as well as in pipelines.
