The Levelflex FMP51 is used for level measurement under extreme conditions in the process industry, such as high temperature and high pressure. Even with a fluctuating surface, foam formation or interference from obstacles inside the tank, the FMP51 maintains the most stable measured values. The Levelflex FMP51 is used for continuous level measurement and interface measurement of liquids, pastes and slurries. The measured value is unaffected by changes in the medium, temperature, gas blanket or vapor.
