High accuracy non-intrusive liquid level and interface level detection
The LMT Series of level transmitters is a modular range of field mounted, advanced microprocessor-based electronic transmitters, utilizing multiple sensor technologies. Accurate and reliable measurement of liquid level and interface are provided in even the most difficult and hazardous  industrial environments.
 
  • The LMT200 is based upon the magnetostrictive principle.
  • The device electronics generates a low energy current pulse at fixed intervals.
  • The electrical pulses create a magnetic field which travels down a specialized wire inside the sensor tube.
  • The interaction of the magnetic field around the wire and the magnetic float causes a torsional stress wave to be induced in the wire. This torsion propagates along the wire at a known velocity, from the position of the magnetic float and toward both ends of the wire.
  • A patented sensing element placed in the transmitter assembly converts the received mechanical torsion into an electrical return pulse.
  • The microprocessor-based electronics measures the elapsed time between the start and return pulses (Time of Flight) and converts it into a position measurement which is proportional to the level of the float.

Notes:
1 Measurement accuracy is recorded at factory ambient conditions (23.88 °F +/-5.6 °C (75 °F +/-10 °F)) using a calibration magnet. Accuracy may be further influenced by other factors such as float hysteresis, installation, process conditions and ambient conditions.
2 Some agency approvals may differ.
