Micropilot M
6
Hauser
Input
Measured variable
The measured variable is the distance between a reference point (refer to fig. on page 2) and a
reflective surface (i.e. medium surface).
The level is calculated based on the tank height entered.
The level can be converted into other units (volume, mass) by means of a linearization.
Measuring range
The usable measuring range depends on the size of the antenna, the reflectivity of the medium,
the mounting location and eventual interference reflections.
The following tables describe the groups of media as well as the achievable measuring range as
a function of application and media group. If the dielectric constant of a medium is unknown, it is
recommended to assume media group B to ensure a reliable measurement.
1) Treat Ammonia NH3 as a medium of group A, i.e. always use a stilling well.
Measuring range depending on vessel type, conditions and product for Micropilot M
FMR 230 and FMR 231:
2) possible, i.e. with stilling well in bypass.
