Vegaflex 86

Level measurement up to +450 °C with new guided wave radar VEGAFLEX 86
Refractory ceramic and stainless steel combined with the latest level measurement technology –
that’s the new VEGAFLEX 86. Developed for extreme industrial applications, this GWR sensor
measures liquids safely and reliably up to an operating temperature of +450 °C and a process
pressure of 400 bar.

Master of all classes
VEGAFLEX 86 is ideal for level and interface measurement of liquids. It delivers accurate and reliable
results even in extreme temperatures from -196 to +400 °C and process pressures from -1 to +400
bar – in steam boilers as well as in bypass tubes or standpipes. Thanks to its ability to measure
products with a minimum dielectric constant of 1.4 and higher, its application range is virtually
unlimited.

Product selection and setup made easy
The versions with cable, rod or coaxial probe and standard process connections such as threads from
G1½ A (1½ NPT) and flanges from DN 50 (2") allow installation on any container or tank. The
electronics versions are 4 ... 20 mA/HART, Modbus, Profibus PA and Foundation Fieldbus – to
ensure simple connection to any process control system. In addition, the single and double chamber
housings of plastic, aluminum and stainless steel make it possible to create an instrument version
suitable for any process environment.

Setup wizards and new, intelligent signal processing functions also facilitate setup and commissioning
and ensure stable, accurate readings. Since it was developed according to
IEC 61508, the sensor meets the requirements of SIL2 and SIL3, when deployed in homogenous
redundancy. A welded, gas-tight feed through (Second Line of Defense) brings additional safety to
facilities handling hazardous materials. Last but not least, the standard approvals for explosion
protection in gas and dust, for example ATEX and FM, round out the selection options.

VEGA- NEW PRODUCTS UP TO 450 DEG C

 

VEGASWING 66 is a world first. It is VEGA’s latest addition to its portfolio of vibrating limit switches
for liquids. The instrument is designed for reliable, self monitoring, fail safe switching in applications
with process temperatures up to +450 °C and process pressures up to 160 bar.

Until now, the principle of the vibrating level switch has been limited to process conditions up to a
maximum of +280 °C and 100 bar. By using a new drive for the tuning fork of VEGASWING 66, VEGA has made deployment of the instrument possible far beyond these limits. VEGASWING 66 delivers a convincing performance with impressive values: process temperatures from -196° C to +450° C and pressures from 0 to 160 bar.

Since it is virtually unaffected by product properties such as product density, the vibrating level switch
can be used with hardly any restrictions. The sensor switches reliably and reproducibly when a certain
filling level is reached. Adjustment with medium is not required for setup. The integrated analysis and
monitoring capabilities allow certification according to SIL2 and steam boiler regulations.
Versatile and dependable.

Users benefit from the technical features in combination with the total self-monitoring of the sensor
and can be sure of highest system reliability – even in critical high-temperature and high-pressure
applications. In addition, the universal level sensor VEGASWING 66 saves a lot of time and costs
through its simple setup and commissioning.

The application range of VEGASWING 66 extends from distillation columns in the oil and gas
industry, to high and low water limits in steam boilers, to cryogenic applications in gas tanks for LNG
and nitrogen.

Standard approvals according to ATEX and FM for use in explosive gases and dust, as well as
versions as compact sensor or with tube extensions up to 6 m, round out the wide application
spectrum of this unique, new product.

Process pressure: Level and pressure measurements

Measuring principle

The pressure measuring cell converting the pressure into a signal which can be evaluated electrically is the heart of the pressure transmitter. This pressure-dependent signal is converted by the integrated electronics into a standardized output signal. Different sensors are used to detect the pressure. The ceramic cell characterizes by an excellent long-term stability and high overload resistance. The metal cell covers even higher measuring ranges and use stainless steel as diaphragm material.

For all areas of industry

VEGABAR series 60

VEGABAR series 60 meets all the requirements placed on suspension pressure transmitters. Excellent measuring precision, overload resistance, temperature stability and corrosion resistance are the essential criteria that it satisfies. In conjunction with application-optimized housing versions and electronics, these suspension pressure transmitters are ideal for use in rough environments.
Especially the front-flush, abrasion resistant CERTEC® with its double seal system offers high reliability and operational safety.

For gauge measurements

Foxboro Malaysia - Transmitter

Foxboro Pressure Transmitter

Most of the equipments that we still used Foxboro (manufacturer) are transmitter. Pressure transmitter, temperature, level transmitter and flow transmitter (less). But the most which are still used in my working area - power plant is pressure transmitter. If we can go back to my post long-long time ago, I have said that the supports from the manufacture is less. That's is why people changed to another brand which can give technical support to their industry.

Today I am not sure whether they have improve their technical support team or not. But nowadays, if Foxboro would not do something, I believe they already closed their business. Maybe they have done something to avoid such thing happened.

How about at your workplace? Did they give their full support and full commitment at your power plant?

Endress+Hauser Electromagnetic Flowmeter Promag 53

Endress+Hauser Electromagnetic Flowmeter Promag 53

This is a new electromagnetic flowmeter delivered yesterday by Endress+Hauser personal and will be installed at the electrolyser chlorination plant pipe for flow measurement. The consequences of flow switch failure frequently and repeated recently at this electrolyser pipe which cause the Electro Chlorination Plant trip.

This situasion leads to several trial units of many brands to avoid this happen and happen again. Anyway, this one also a trial unit and if the result success will be considered.

Promag 53 Specifications

In this post, I just describe the general information of this product. Later on will include details. So make sure you will not miss my post.

Ashcroft Introduces New Ultra-Compact Pressure Transmitters

I got this from google's news:

New Ultra-Compact Pressure Transmitters

"The new Ashcroft® GC51 and GC52 gauge and differential pressure transmitters offer the perfect economical alternative to network process transmitters when a digital protocol is not required. The innovative design features an ultra-compact NEMA 4X/IP65 enclosure measuring only 2.65” in diameter. Stainless steel wetted parts accommodate either wet or dry media. The GC51 is available in ranges up to 0-7500 psig and the GC52 offers D/P ranges up to 400 inches of water. A built-in LED display and a 4-20mA output provide both local indication and remote signaling. Ashcroft® GC series transmitters are ideal for measuring fluid levels in tanks, water towers and across differential pressures membranes in water purification systems. In addition, Ashcroft® media isolators can be added for sludge or caustic media installations."

Druck 1830 Level Pressure Sensor at The Sodium Hypochloride Tank

On last Friday, I went around power plant to check some instrumentations. This sodium hypochloride tank actually located behind the ECP and it's a part of the chlorine process. We have two hypochloride tank in our power plant and the tanks are parallel. Meaning that the level should be the same level except the operators close the equalize valve.

PTX 1830 Druck Level Sensor

This is the original level sensor that we have at the hypochloride tank. The range is 10mH2O g. No isolating valve was installed to the level sensor which cause us problem to change during tank in operating.

Foxboro Pressure Transmitter

While this is another option that we used to replace the faulty level sensor. This is only temporary but currently it is also not available or cannot be used because the application is not suitable with strong chlorine which caused the damaged to diaphragm.

I am not so sure about the specification and I will try find it later. So don't forget to come back to know more about this transducer.
