Endress+Hauser has released its Deltapilot FMB 70 hydrostatic level pressure transmitter for food, beverage, dairy and pharmaceutical applications. Its watertight Contite™ pressure measuring cell and 316L stainless steel housing with polycarbonate sight glass withstand harsh washdown environments in the food industry. The Deltapilot FMB 70 can measure level in units of pressure, height, volume or mass with an accuracy of 0.1%. The Deltapilot FMB 70 can be used to measure level in silos, holding tanks, mixing tanks, filler bowls, balance tanks and other vessels. It meets 3A sanitary standards, has a watertight NEMA 6P-rated (temporarily submersible) housing, and operates in process temperatures from 14 to 212F. An optional remote housing can be located up to 25ft away from the sensor. The remote version has cable connections and is rated to IP69K for high pressure, high temperature washdown sprays. The Contite measuring cell is hermetically sealed for protection against condensate, condensation, aggressive gases and washdown environments, and it has a thick, corrosion resistant alloy C276 membrane for protection against mechanical damage. Temperature sensors are located between the process diaphragm and the measuring element for continuous temperature compensation of the measurement. Digital communication options include a 4-20mA two-wire signal with HART, Profibus PA, Foundation Fieldbus or WirelessHART.
