Flow-Through Electrode
The Mercap flow-through electrodes provide the following multi-functional applications for a
liquid pipe system:
•
quality measurement
•
interface measurement and detection
•
product presence detection
The measurement occurs without placing an obstacle in the product line and uses
capacitance to determine the physical characteristics of the product. In mixed liquids, the
flow-through electrode can measure the degree of proportions (e.g. water in oil). The
capacitance change is measured and transmitted by a 4-20/20-4mA signal and HART
protocol.
Note
: If the transmitter's ambient temperature exceeds 85
°
C/185° F (70° C/158° F) in
Ex zones) mount a thermopart between electrode head and transmitter housing.
FTS Series
The FTS series flow-through electrode is suitable for relatively high pressure and
temperature conditions. It is installed using a sandwich connection between two flanges and
a PTFE sealing ring to provide high chemical resistance.
Note
: For flange dimensions and pressure ratings, refer to the chart on page 23.
