Radar measurement Time-of-Flight Micropilot FMR53

Field of Application :

The Micropilot FMR53 is a compact and reliable 6GHz free space radar, designed for continuous, non-contact level measurement of liquids, pastes, and slurries. With its slim rod antenna, it is ideal for small process connections and can be used in chemically aggressive media thanks to its PTFE coating and flange plating.

The FMR53 ensures precise measurements even in challenging conditions, unaffected by changing media, temperature fluctuations, gas blankets, or vapors.
