Field of application

Levelflex FMP52 for level measurement in aggressive liquids with chemically resistant gap-free PFA-coated probe. All wetted parts are FDA listed materials. FMP52 guided radar offers maximum reliability even in case of moved surface. Levelflex FMP52 is used for continuous level measurement of liquids, pastes and slurries but also for interface measurement. The measurement is not affected by changing media, temperature changes, gas blankets or vapors.
