Ametek Drexelbrook Introduces Breakthrough in Ultrasonic Continuous Level Measurement
Innovative Technology Takes Ultrasonic Measurement to the Next Level
HORSHAM, PA - AMETEK Drexelbrook-the leader in level measurement
technology-has launched a new family of ultrasonic devices that represent the next generation in continuous level measurement.
"Our new IntelliScan(TM) and UniScan(TM) non-contact, ultrasonic level measurement instruments are truly unique products," comments Dave Strelec, Director of Sales & Marketing for AMETEK Drexelbrook. "Both feature the next generation in transducer technology and offer unmatched reliability, repeatability and performance."
"IntelliScan and UniScan deliver radar-like performance at an ultrasonic price and have the flexibility to measure liquids, solids and open channel flow. Both instruments are simple, easy to use," he notes. "The UniScan also has the added benefit of being a 2-wire, intrinsically safe design."
"Simply open the box and install the instrument. No calibration or maintenance is required. The instruments self adjust to virtually all types of conditions and environments and feature automatic ambient temperature adjustment. The same instrument can be used to measure liquids, solids, granular, slurry or open channel flow without needing to change the lightweight transducer," adds Strelec.
"The IntelliScan and UniScan are able to provide accurate measurements (0.25% of measured distance) while automatically compensating for changes in ambient temperature and other variable environmental conditions. Their advanced sensor design allows them to provide the highest accuracy under extremely harsh
conditions, including vapors, gases and the full range of process storage environments."
"Because of their non-contact technology, they are especially useful in measuring harsh chemicals, such as acids, bases and solvents, and for aseptic materials such as those used in the food and pharmaceutical industries," concludes Mr. Strelec.
Uniscan
The UniScan is a two-wire, low-voltage, loop-powered device that provides 0.25% accuracy combined with 3mm (0.11 inch) resolution. It is available with a customized four-digit liquid crystal display that reads out in level, distance of flow rate. Its IP 65 enclosure protects against dust and water jets and is NEMA 4X rated. The UniScan is ideal for ranges of up to 49 feet (15 meters) in liquids and 28 feet (8.5 meters) in solids.
IntelliScan
The IntelliScan is a four-wire, low-voltage device that provides 0.25% accuracy combined with 1 mm (0.04 inch) resolution. It is available with a customized graphic liquid crystal display with read outs in level, distance, volume, flow rate or differential
level. Users may program level to volume characterizations. The IntelliScan is ideal for ranges of up to 39 feet (12 meters) in liquids and 28 feet (8.5 meters) in solids. Its Open Channel Flow versions have both embedded software with preset calculations for over 80 flume and weir characterizations and the ability for user defined (custom) characterizations. The IntelliScan is available as a single sensor unit or as multi-sensor unit with two or three sensors. It is supplied with a 4-20mA & 5 independent SPDT relays (independent On/Off programming). RS232 or RS485 interfaces are optional.
