VEGA VEGAFLEX 82 Guided Wave Radar Level Gauge

Description:
The VEGAFLEX 82 is a guided wave radar level gauge designed for continuous level measurement of liquids and interface levels in industrial applications. Utilizing Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technology, the VEGAFLEX 82 provides highly accurate and reliable measurements, even in challenging conditions such as changing media, vapor, foam, or temperature fluctuations.

The sensor works by sending microwave pulses along a probe (rod, cable, or coaxial), which are reflected back when they encounter the product surface or an interface. Its ability to perform independent of media properties like dielectric constant makes it ideal for a wide range of industries, including chemical, oil & gas, power generation, and water treatment.

The VEGAFLEX 82 offers easy integration into existing systems, supports 4-20mA/HART outputs, and enables Bluetooth setup via the VEGA Tools app for convenient wireless configuration and diagnostics.

Key Features:

1. Guided Wave Radar Technology (TDR): Ensures reliable level and interface measurement for liquids.

2. Wide Application Range: Suitable for aggressive chemicals, hydrocarbons, water, and slurries.

3. Interface Measurement: Capable of detecting levels between two liquid phases (e.g., oil-water).

4. Bluetooth Configuration: Wireless setup and diagnostics via the VEGA Tools app.

5. Media Independence: Measurement accuracy unaffected by changes in density, pressure, or temperature.

6. Multiple Probe Options: Available with rod, cable, or coaxial probes to suit application requirements.

7. Robust and Maintenance-Free: Durable design requiring minimal maintenance with no moving parts.
