Designed for Industry
The NMS81 PTG is suitable for atmospheric and high pressure applications with a maximum reliability accuracy level of up to ±0.4 mm (±0.016 in). To make sure it fits your existing tank fittings, we have a wide variety of process connections to choose from.
True Multi-Measurement
In addition to level measurement, the NMS81 PTG can determine the interfaces between three liquids, specific gravity of these liquids and tank bottom. This allows the instrument to provide spot density measurements, profile the liquid density throughout the tank, or profile the stratified upper layer.
Proactive Safety Diagnostics
In the event of an abnormal measurement condition, the NMS81 PTG outputs a maximum level value to the local display and system software, thereby causing an alarm to warn your operators.
Compatible Communications
Output signals include industry standard RS-485 (MODBUS), as well as popular tank gauging protocols, such as V1 and HART. You are also able to connect a spot or average temperature probe directly to the instrument.
Industry Approval
The NMS81 PTG has FM, ATEX and IEC Ex and NEPSI approval for use in hazardous areas. It is also NMi, OIML and PTB approved for custody transfer applications and SIL2 certified for overfill prevention.
Simplifying Maintenance
Small features make your operators’ lives easier and safer; intelligent diagnostics provide advance warning of required maintenance, such as replacement of worn wire. Wetted parts are completely separated from the electronic circuit and the built in calibration window allows operators to ensure the correct position of the displacer before service work is underway.
