Triflex LNI 200, non-intrusive level measurement

Accurate level measurement of non-conductive bulk materials like liquids, powders, pellets, granulates and other bulk material inside a tank or silo becomes very difficult with low dielectric or highly sensitive materials, harsh environments (pressurized, abrasive, hot and/or corrosive) and /or complicated tanks. The resulting reliability issues have a negative effect on costs and downtime. To solve these problems, Fluidwell Instruments, a division of Fluidwell, launches the Triflex LNI 200, a “Field Time Control” (FTC) based level sensor, which uniquely measures with great reliability from the outside of a non-metallic tank.

Unique in multiple ways
The distinguishing element of the Triflex LNI 200 is its ability to reliably measure even low dielectric materials in a non-metallic tank or silo without having to be present inside that tank and without product contact. The tank itself even does not have to be transparent where the Triflex is attached onto it. Some of the discriminating benefi ts include no risks of contaminating the product, very easy access for maintenance (without process interruption!), suitable for small or complicated tanks, easy plug-and-play installation, suitable for aggressive materials or environments and insensitive to changing process conditions that arise inside a tank. The yield is tremendous: Lower costs, higher output and increase in reliable measurements!

Key applications

It is suitable in a wide range of applications, but especially for industries with extremely low dielectric, non-conductive bulk products (solids and liquids, e.g. fly ash or flour) or where product contact is to be avoided (e.g. out of health reasons with pharmaceutical pills or with acids).

Where placement of a sensor inside a tank is not possible due to the construction of the tank (too small / complicated) or where the environment inside the tank is highly abrasive, the Triflex offers a solution.
