Capacitive sensor
NivoCapa® - NC 8100
Continuous level measurement, Interface level measurement
Liquids
DK value ≥ 1,6
The capacitance level sensor NivoCapa® 8100 is a simple and cost-effective solution for level measurement of liquids or oils. Interface measurement is possible as well. It can be used in large storage tanks, small process vessels, buffer tanks, hoppers, sumps, bypass or downtubes. The different gadget versions make installations from above and below possible and - due to remote housing - can also be used in vibrating environments or in areas of limited space.
Reliable measurement results even with viscous, adhesive medium due to "Active Shield" technology
"Inverse Frequency Shift" technology ensures precise measurement results
Maintenance-free sensor
