We have been dealing with a number of pharmaceutical companies on the subject of pressure / hydrostatic level transmitter capability under hygienic conditions, and feed back is cleanliness and size is important! We have been able to help with a tri-clamp fitting, hydrostatic / pressure sensor with a 1″ flush hygienic connection fitting pressure transmitter using our very own Mini CERTEC ceramic cell, offering one of the smallest connections on the market. It has a surface finish less than 0.5 Ra, double elastomer sealing, FDA compatible good overload and pressure shock capability, even on the lowest range at 100mBar and a self monitoring cell and diaphragm system. When you combine that with 7 housing options, and 4 communication protocols its a great pressure measurement package, whether you are looking for level or pressure measurement.

Pressure measurement: Why versatility is critical to get the best performance and value. Its not all about Differential Pressure transmitters and retro fitting chemical seals, when you are seeking the best performance to suit your application, environment and budget.
On many typical pressure measurement applications, DP is a traditional solution, offering great accuracy and it is widely available. But, on hydrostatic level applications for example, where a flush diaphragm is a common need, the diaphragms tend to be large to accommodate the low pressure ranges and they involve using an oil filled chemical seal. Its a very reliable, and familiar technology, but there are additional costs for fitting of chemical seals, capillaries’ and/or back-pressure ‘bubbler’ systems if you want a top mounted system. VEGA offer a wide range of more versatile, modular pressure solutions, which are designed specifically for diverse applications. There are options for technologies - including differential pressure; along with fittings, diaphragm designs, robust flush measuring cells, top mounted level measurement, hygienic connections and a range of approvals inside a variety of housings, to ensure the user gets the right ‘tool’ for the job.

Radars have been successfully applied and working on coal bunker, coal silo and coal hopper level measurement and indication for many years in power, mining and coal transportation applications. They measure level reliably, with coal dust in the air, build up, even during filling! And, when dust levels are really heavy, they can have an integrated air purge system for cleaning the sensor. Multiple units can be installed if the surface area is large, to provide surface profiling and more accurate level, useful especially when there can be multiple discharge points. VEGA level radars are also being used more and more as Biomass leve indicators at power stations and recycling plants. For more information on this product follow this link.

We have a brochure all about our range of pressure measurement solutions called VEGA Yellow World of Pressure Measurement. VEGA have always been known primarily for level measurement… and the colour Yellow! But this level measurement has included the hydrostatic level principle for almost 50 years. This is the measurement of liquid level by means of the ’hydrostatic head’ pressure on a sensor. This is one of the most demanding areas of pressure measurement in many ways, as the results and performance can be directly seen, measured and monitored, performance must be linear and drift easily identified. Whereas, for example, a gas pressure can mainly only inferred against another gauge it cant be seen or measured with a stick!. With this pedigree, VEGA have expanded their ‘level’ range to one of the widest pressure transmitter and sensor ranges in industry. Sensor technologies and measuring cells include smaller low cost pressure sensors, flush hygienic pressure transmitters,suspended hydrostatic sensors and a range of DP transmitters. The ranges covered are from a few millibar to 1000 bar. Our Yellow world of VEGA brochure is now available. Contact us for a copy!

Drilling Mud flow detection units installed on the pipes
We have justy got this picture in of our new return mud flow sensor units installed on a new project for the North Sea oil and gas exploration sector. You can see them in the picture, they are the yellow housings on top of the large red pipes. They are being used as a non contact drilling mud return flow ‘measurement’/ detection system with no moving parts. This is instead of the standard mechanical version, which uses paddle sensors and linkages, designed to ‘ride’ on the mud surface and often sustain build up, drift, damage and wear. We have a great brochure available, with much more information, so let us know if you want one!
