Marine approved hydrostatic liquid level sensor for mounting on the base of an onboard 2 metre high diesel tank to monitor fuel usage.
The DMK 458 screw-in pressure transmitter is specifically designed for level measurement in marine diesel tanks. Its robust construction and marine approvals make it suitable for the harsh conditions encountered on board ships. This sensor is built with a unique open port design on its G1/2 DIN3852 process connection, which allows for greater flow of viscous diesel fuel, especially in cold temperatures where fuel viscosity increases. This feature ensures accurate and reliable readings even under challenging conditions.
The DMK 458 is designed for direct mounting onto the base of a diesel tank. This eliminates the need for additional piping or remote installation, simplifying installation and reducing potential leak points. The transmitter’s compact size and screw-in design make it ideal for applications where space is limited. It comes with a 1/2 BSP male thread for easy and secure installation.
This sensor utilizes hydrostatic pressure to determine the level of diesel fuel in the tank. The pressure exerted by the fuel column is directly proportional to the height of the fuel, allowing the DMK 458 to provide accurate level measurements. This information is crucial for monitoring fuel consumption, optimizing refueling schedules, and ensuring safe operation of the vessel.
The DMK 458 is compatible with a wide range of diesel fuel types, including those with higher viscosities. This versatility makes it suitable for various marine vessels, from small boats to large tankers. The sensor’s ceramic Al2O3 diaphragm and FKM seals provide excellent resistance to diesel fuel and ensure long-term durability.
This marine-approved level sensor is certified by all major shipping approval bodies, making it a reliable and compliant solution for onboard fuel tank level monitoring. The DMK 458 is designed to withstand the demanding marine environment, including vibrations, shocks, and temperature fluctuations. Its stainless steel 316L housing and process connection offer high corrosion resistance, ensuring reliable performance and extended service life in saltwater environments.
The sensor provides a 4-20mA output signal, which is a standard industrial signal that can be easily integrated with existing monitoring and control systems. This allows for seamless data acquisition and analysis, enabling efficient fuel management and operational decision-making.
