          • LEVEL

              • SUBMERSIBLE PROBES | LEVEL PROBES

              • BD|SENSORS offers a wide range of submersible probes designed for the measurement of fill levels of fluid or paste-like media or for levels of water and waste-water. The sensors are based on hydrostatic pressure, i.e. the fill level is found by measuring pressure.

                The submersible probes are available with many types of enclosure materials, pressure sensors and diameters and will thus in their standard version already offer perfect solutions to predominant installation conditions. 
                The detachable submersible probes are noteworthy. These designs allow very simple detachment of probe and cable, requiring no tools. This is a decisive advantage during maintenance or servicing, since only part of the submersible probe will require attention, not the entire installation.

                • with stainless steel sensor LMP 308 | LMP 808
                • with ceramics sensor LMK 358 | LMK 808 | LMK 858

                The range also includes other designs such as submersible probes with integrated overvoltage protection, temperature sensors or data loggers, also types communicating via RS 485 interface or HART® protocol.

                 

              • DETACHABLE SUBMERSIBLE PROBES

              • Our detachable submersible probes boast easy maintenance, debugging and repairs. Sensor heads are in this case separable from the instrument without touching the remaining cabling. You may now examine, clean or replace the probe head and then simply screw it on again. Simple, fast and at the drop of a hat.

                Die trennbaren Füllstandssonden punkten bei Wartung, Fehlersuche oder Reparatur. In diesem Fall wird der Sensorkopf durch Drehen vom restlichen Gerät entfernt, ohne Berührung der restlichen Kabelinstallation. Der Sondenkopf kann untersucht, gereinigt oder getauscht werden und wird schlußendlich wieder angeschraubt. Einfach - schnell - und im Handumdrehen.

              • CALIBRATION

              • Since the BD|SENSORS GmbH calibration laboratory is accredited to the DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 Standard it is authorized to perform calibrations according to DakkS [German Accreditation Body] and issue calibration certificates that are nationally and internationally recognized based on the multi-lateral ILAC agreement. Calibrations are carried out compliant with DKD-R 6-1.

                The accreditation includes relative and absolute pressures up to 800 bar with measurement uncertainties down to 1.1 ppm. This measurement uncertainty allows calibrations of all pressure measuring instruments such as electronic pressure measuring instruments (measurement transducers, transmitters and pressure sensors), pressure switches and digital pressure gauges with accuracies ≤ 0.1% FSO.

                The calibration laboratory uses highly accurate reference standards (piston manometer) and standard instruments (accurate electrical pressure measuring instruments) that, together with our many years of experience, allow us to offer competent calibrations delivered on time.

                      • Chemical processes make very high demands on electronic pressure measuring instruments and hydrostatic fill level probes in two respects:

                        • processes may be complex with high dynamic pressures and fast changing temperatures
                        • the media are diverse and may be chemically aggressive, explosive, toxic, abrasive and sometimes also dirty and viscous.

                        Add to this top safety requirements, especially in explosion hazardous plant and equipment and the absolute demand for top operational reliability.
