These capacitance probes offer flexible time delays

| By Chemical Engineering

ProCap dual-timer capacitance probes for level detection can be set to react immediately or with up to a 30-s delay when they detect a covered or uncovered condition. ProCap probes can be used for high- and low-level detection in tanks, silos, bins, hopppers, chutes and other vessels used for material storage or process manufacturing. For example, the capacitance probe can be set to send an immediate alert when it reaches a covered state, but can be set to alert with a 15-s delay when it detects an uncovered state. The probes do not interfere with two-way radios or other equipment operating in the radio-frequency spectrum, and can be adapted to a variety of solid, liquid and slurry materials with a wide assortment of extensions. — BinMaster Level Controls, Lincoln, Neb.
