WATER CUT MONITOR The Universal IVCM Model water cut monitor offers superior water cut measurement accuracy in the low ranges (0-1%, 0-5% and 0-10% water). Accuracy is 0.03% water, and measurement resolution is down to 0.0002% water. The monitor's electronics are designed to ignore paraffin buildup on the pipe and probe. The probes are designed to handle pressures up to 1500 psi and temperatures up to 450 ºF. Ametek Drexelbrook 215-674-1234; www.drexelbrook.com/
NON-INVASIVE LIQUID LEVEL SENSOR The levelprox is a non-invasive, ultrasonic sensing solution that provides accurate point-level detection of liquids through metal container walls. It's ideal for high-pressure, hazardous or sterile applications. The levelprox uses a simple teach button to program empty and full conditions for reliable detection of liquids through a container. It is available either stainless steel or chrome-plated brass. Turck 800-544-7769 www.turck.com/
FAIL-SAFE POINT LEVEL SWITCH Liquiphant FailSafe FTL8x point level switches have two relay outputs, a 4-20mA output that connects to a fail-safe switching unit with a two-channel output, safety contacts and a safety locking function. The 4-20mA output can be connected directly to a safety PLC or similar system for MIN and MAX safety applications. It meets IED, ISA, DIN EN ISO requirements for SIL 3.

LEVEL SWITCH FOR SIS The 2130 series of Rosemount vibrating short fork level switches is now certified for SIL 2 safety instrumented systems. It features built-in fault monitoring/self-checking diagnostics, and is ideal for high- and low-level alarms in critical applications. It features a new 8/16 mA output option which unlocks the full diagnostics capabilities of the 2130 series. Emerson Rosemount www.EmersonProcess.com/Rosemount
VIBRATION LIMIT SWITCH LVL-B Series vibration limit switches are insensitive to material build-up, external vibration and flow noise, and have no mechanical moving parts for reliable level sensing of bulk solids. They're FM- and CSA-certified as dust ignition-proof (DIP) for Class II and Class III, Divisions 1 and 2, and Groups E-G. They come with a 250-mm (10-in.) vibrating rod and a choice of extension pipes. Pepperl+Fuchs 330-486-0002 www.pepperl-fuchs.us/
ULTRASONIC LIQUID LEVEL MEASUREMENT Flowline EchoPod and EchoSonic II ultrasonic liquid level sensors and transmitters are ideal for chemical, water and wastewater applications. They're available with single- and multi-function capabilities. EchoPod DS14 sensor features continuous level detection up to 4.1 feet. EchoPod DX10 transmitter provides continuous level measurement up to 4.1 feet. Automation Direct 800-633-0405 www.automationdirect.com/
NEW GWR TRANSMITTER Eclipse Model 706 guided wave radar (GWR) transmitter offers enhanced signal performance, with a signal-to-noise ratio nearly three times higher than the competition. It measures true level to within specification all the way up to the process flange, and its advanced LCD diagnostics convey critical real-time waveform and trend data with outstanding ease of use.

PLUG-AND-PLAY LEVEL SWITCHES SOR ultrasonic level switches are a cost-effective solution for many applications, including seal pots. They do not have to be calibrated, and SOR ultrasonic gap switches have multiple agency listings. Preventive maintenance is a breeze, requiring only an annual visual inspection because it has no moving parts. A technician with basic electrical skills (wiring) can service the instrument. SOR 800-676-6794 www.sorinc.com/
MEASURE YOUR SLUDGE BED Hawk's Sultan Sonar Sludge Bed level transmitter is ideal for providing reliable measurement of the compact bed level in clarifiers. Using a proven acoustic sonar technology with advanced signal processing, Sultan Sonar can not only automate the bed-level measurement, but also provide indication and control of an upset condition before the bed level flows over the clarifier launders. Hawk Measurement 888-429-5538 www.hawkmeasure.com/
ULTRASONIC CONTROLLER FOR LEVEL MEASUREMENT Sitrans LUT400 ultrasonic controllers have 1-millimeter measuring accuracy. They're available in three models, including the Sitrans LUT420 level controller, the Sitrans LUT430 level, pump and flow controller, and the Sitrans LUT440 high-accuracy open channel monitor, which also provides a full suite of advanced level, volume and pump controls. Siemens www.industry.usa.siemens.com/
NON-CONTACT RADAR LEVEL METER SmartLine non-contact radar level meters measure distance, level, volume and mass. Based on frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) technology, this level meter is immune to changes in conductivity, density, pressure and temperature. It gives reliable measurements in agitated process conditions. The level meter can be used in a wider application range than PTOF radar. Honeywell Process Solutions www.honeywellprocess.com/
TDR LEVEL GUAGE Optiflex 2200 has the most modular design available with a feature set that includes tank top or remote display (100 m/328 ft), horizontal or vertical housing assembly with choice of display orientation, flanged or threaded connections (1/2 in. NPT to 6 in. 600 ANSI), tank heights to 130 ft (40 m), process temperatures to 5700 °F (3000 °C), and SIL 2-compliance according to IEC 61508. Krohne 800-FLOWING www.us.krohne.com/
