Capacitive sensor
NivoCapa® - NC 8100
Application area
The capacitive level sensor NivoCapa® 8100 is a simple and cost-effective solution for level measurement of liquids or oils. Interface measurement is possible as well. It can be used in large storage tanks, small process vessels, buffer tanks, hoppers, sumps, bypass or downtubes. The different gadget versions make installations from above and below possible and – due to remote housing – can also be used in vibrating environments or in areas of limited space.
