World first claim for tuning fork level switch

Until now, vibrating level switches have been limited to process conditions up to +280degC and 100bar. By developing a new tuning fork drive, it makes deployment of the instrument possible far beyond these limits. The resulting performance capability is impressive: process temperatures from -196degC to +450degC and pressures from 0 to 160bar.

Since it is virtually unaffected by product properties, such as changing product density and electrical properties, the vibrating level switch is very versatile. It can be installed in any orientation and is supplied in lengths up to 6m; materials include 316L, Inconel and Hastelloy. Adjustment with product level is not required for set-up, and it switches reliably and repeatably when a point level is reached.

Integrated monitoring capabilities allow accreditation to SIL2 and EN steam boiler regulations and a remote test is also available. VEGASWING 66 is the first level switch for high-pressure, high and low-temperature applications; for example, distillation columns in the oil and gas industry, steam boilers (for high and low water limits) and in cryogenic, liquid gas tank applications for LNG and nitrogen.
