Radar measurement Time-of-Flight Micropilot FMR51

Field of Application

The Micropilot FMR51 is designed for continuous, non-contact level measurement of liquids, pastes, and slurries in industries requiring high temperature and pressure resistance, such as oil & gas and chemical processing. Its patented sensor design ensures maximum reliability, even in the presence of changing media, gas blankets, vapors, or temperature fluctuations. The SmartBlue app allows for remote access and configuration via Bluetooth®.
