Electronic Level Sensors EL-F and EL-T
Pleiger Quality Features of Level Sensors
High-purity ceramic measuring cell provides optimal protection against sedimentation
Double O-ring made of high-quality materials protects against extreme heat and aggressive media
Waterproof
Sensor housing made of duplex stainless steel
Special cabling with polyurethane cable, suitable for direct use in fuel
Electro-Pneumatic System
Pleiger PEL-D2
One measuring system – two system advantages! The PEL-D2 type combines the benefits of electrical and electro-pneumatic measurement.
Pleiger PEL-C
The origin of remote tank level gauging, equipped for the future. All measuring devices are consolidated in a central transmitter cabinet. This ensures optimal protection against dirt and vibration, while keeping them easily accessible for maintenance.
Radar Level Gauging System for Tankers
For non-contact level measurement, Pleiger relies on precise radar technology. The radar measuring system is particularly suitable for use on tankers and offshore installations, where the highest measuring accuracy is required under changing temperature and pressure conditions.
Multi-flange connection
By using the world's smallest level radar unit, the installation of the entire cargo tank measurement technology is possible on a single ANSI 12″ measurement flange. This means simpler project planning and installation, easier verification, and simpler, lower-cost maintenance.
Consisting of:
- Compact 12″ deck flange
- 95% / 98% alarm with vibrating level switch
- Ullage measurement with radar sensor
- Tank pressure measurement with pressure sensor
- Optional connection for manual sounding
Radar Sensor
The key features of the non-contact Pleiger radar sensor are maximum resistance to chemical reactions thanks to the high-quality PTFE-coated antenna, as well as an extraordinarily robust design under temperature and pressure fluctuations.
Benefits of the Radar Sensor:
Contactless
High-precision
Only one wetted material
No additional gasket required
Additional focusing thanks to conical shape
Independent of temperature, pressure, and product properties
High chemical resistance and easy-to-clean antenna system thanks to PTFE coating
Integrated solutions
Pleiger PCM for Tank Level Gauging Systems
The Pleiger Control Module System (PCM) combines multiple control and I/O modules connected to a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system (SCADA) via a fieldbus interface. Analog signals from level sensors as well as digital alarm contacts from limit switches can thus be transmitted directly to the system.
Features
Input / output modules IO 8/8/4 for connecting level sensors and limit switches
BI interface bus modules for serial connection to SCADA and visualization systems
Profibus DP and Modbus RTU data exchange protocol
Redundant data connection possible with additional bus interface modules
Short-circuit-proof outputs and overload-protected inputs prevent damage to the module
Display and diagnostic functions facilitate commissioning and troubleshooting
