VEGA’s latest press release for high level detection of floating roof tanks has now been uploaded to the Offshore Europe website.
With the use of vibrating level switches and a non-contact radar level transmitter to prevent overspill, VEGA instruments provide a safer and a higher standard of monitoring and level measurement. With a fail-safe design on our vibrating switches and our non-contact radars having SIL 2 conformance, therefore offering a higher level of security and performance. This has been used successfully on a floating roof tank for detection of high level.

The latest Application Workshop has now been uploaded to the Case Studies page.
Application Workshop No. 17 – Separator Cyclone Monitoring is a case study on pressure instrumentation. This workshop looks into the pressure measurement of abrasive slurry in a cyclone using our VEGABAR Range.
With abrasive liquid materials used in these types of application, VEGA offer a flush CERTEC® ceramic cell for level and pressure measurement, whihc makes the instrument highly durable, abrasion and overload resistant and can deliver high accuracy and linearity over long periods.
If you want to read more on this Case Study just click on the link above, and if you have any further questions, give us a call on 01444 870055 and ask for Sales.
Application Workshops are sent out monthly, if you are interested in receiving them just send us an email at info@uk.vega.com and give us your name, company and email address with the subject Application Workshop Subscription, and we’ll add you to our mailing list.

The Cement Industry brochure features typical applications and ideas for cement industry solutions, from stone crushers in the quarry to height measurement in blending beds.
VEGA’s measuring instruments deliver reliable data on volume, level and pressure of liquids and bulk solids of all kinds, from fine-grained to course solids, from adhesive to extremely abrasive materials, as well as liquid materials, e.g. like heavy oil.
Level measurement with radar or guided microwave is completely unaffected by strong dust generation, noise and high product temperatures. The radar sensors VEGAPULS 67 and VEGAPULS 68 are a good alternative to ultrasonic instruments and other measuring principles that touch the product.
Using measurement technology under extreme and rough operating conditions, like cement production, place high demands on housing, electronics and sensors. However, with VEGA Instrumentation, all components can be adapted to the expected process conditions. The rugged housings are characterised by their high mechanical stability and the antennas of the radar sensors are able to withstand the most extreme conditions, including temperatures up to 1000 degrees Celsius.
VEGA has a long established relationship with companies in the Cement industry, providing reliable level and pressure measurement solutions in all areas of the plant and environments. Our products are backed with expert advice and service, along with a 3-year warranty. If you have any questions, application ideas or requirements, please give us a call on 01444 870055, and ask for our sales office, who will be delighted to assist you further.
