Product Description
This seawater level transmitter probe has a slim 22 mm outer diameter so that it can be easily installed in 1 inch diameter pipes.
The body is made from titanium alloy providing excellent corrosion resistance to salt water for long periods of time. The diaphragm is made from a ceramic alumina which is also highly corrosion resistant to saltwater conditions
The LMK487 ship draught and ballast tank level sensor has been approved by DNV-GL and Lloyd’s Register for use on a marine vessel, and ATEX / IECEx intrinsically safe approved for use in hazardous areas.
The 4-20mA current loop output can be custom scaled in the factory to any pressure, depth or level, and calibrated for a particular sea water specific gravity (SG).
Applications
Draught measurement
In order for a ship to travel safely, it is important to know how low the ship is in the water. For this purpose, different levels are measured at various points outside and inside the ship in order to monitor the draught and the position.
The LMK487 provides the level measuring technology to be securely mounted and also resistance to salt water corrosion with the option for a Titanium housing.
Graving dock tidal inlet valve pit
Monitor the level of tidal seawater from a inlet valve pit which is used to fill a graving dock.
