Measure filling level with the highest safety standards
This company’s instruments for the detection and measurement of process-critical point levels and filling levels for liquids now has solutions for up to safety integrity level (SIL) 2 according to IEC 61508. This system is based on the products of the company’s NESOS series (photo), which is available in various expansion stages to suit the user’s requirements. Flexible options are available, including the SIL-qualified sensor with all required safety-related characteristic values, SIL-certified sensors and the certified measuring point. The complete solution in the “filling level” field can also reliably detect line faults, such as short-circuits and cable breaks, ranging from the sensor to the actuator. Solutions can also be implemented in combination with applications in explosion-protected areas (intrinsically safe [Ex i] and flameproof enclosure [Ex d]), as well as in shipbuilding. As a result, possible applications include the field of liquid gas and hydrogen, steam boilers, bioreactors or solvent purification plants. — J UMO GmbH & Co. KG, Fulda, Germany
