multicap DC 11/16/21/26 EN
multicap DC 11/16/21/26 ES
Fully and partially insulated rod and rope probes
for capacitive level measurement
and limit detection
(European certificates)
Application
Multicap probes are designed for
continuous level measurement and limit
detection, primarily in liquids. The DC 11
and DC 16 rod probes are also suitable
for use in light bulk solids.
The probe rod or probe rope and
insulation are made of
corrosion-resistant materials able to
withstand extremely aggressive
products. The tried-and-tested rugged
construction is gas-tight for pressure
from vacuum to 100 bar. Seal and
insulation materials enable probes to be
used at operating temperatures in the
vessel of 80C to +200C.
