Range of application 

The purpose of the CONDURIX level sensor is to provide continuous level gauging of ele

c-

trically conductive liquids (> 1 μS/cm). During the measurement no

 

insulating layer must 

be formed on the probe tube.

 

The level sensor is available in lengths of 200

 

to

 6,000 

mm.

 

With the “single

-

rod probe” model (CONDURIX

 

Mono), the inside of the container must 

have  a  conductive  surface  (metal  containers  /  downpipes).  The “two

-

rod  probe”  model 

(CONDURIX

 

DU) or  “jacketed  probe”  model  (CONDURIX

 

MA)  are  both  compatible  with 

non

-

conductive containers.

 

The standard sensors work by outputting the measured fill level as an analogue value in 

the range 4

 

to

 

20

 

mA.

 

 

With the HART option, the configuration and retrieval of measured values by the digital 

HART protocol are supported, see

 

 

Technical Documentation CONDURIX with HART protocol, art. no. 350044

 

 

In conjunction with the standard level sensors, wetted parts are in stainless steel 1.4571 

(316Ti), insulators are in PEEK (alternatively in PTFE). On request, the probe tubes are also 

available in Hastelloy, tantalum, titanium or stainless steel 1.4404 (316L).
