Great ideas are timeless, and the new Liquicap M, combining the tried and trusted capacitance level principle with leading-edge technology, is ideal for food, chemicals, viscous media and hydrocarbons

Great ideas are timeless, and the principle behind the capacitance level probe - the very first instrument we made - is still as sound as ever.

More than 50 years on, Endress+Hauser presents the new Liquicap M, combining this tried and trusted principle with leading-edge technology.

With its variety of housings, certifications, approvals and process connections (from 0.5''), you can tailor Liquicap M to exactly what you need - no more, no less.

Available in both rope and rod versions, Liquicap M can accurately measure level up to 10metres.

It offers outstanding performance in storage, buffer and process tanks and features two-stage over-voltage protection to safeguard against electrostatic discharge.

It can also be used in viscous media, thanks to active build-up compensation.

Ideal for the food industry, Liquicap M is suitable for both CIP and SIP systems, and combines a wide range of hygienic process connections with FDA and EHEDG approvals.

It is also designed for the real world: in applications with strong build-up, Liquicap M has cutting-edge algorithms to safeguard stable measured values.

And its short response time means it is particularly suitable for use in small tanks, where rapid level changes occur and the measurement range must cover the entire contents of the tank.

Also ideal for the chemical industry, Liquicap M offers a SIL 2 rating according to IEC61508 for both low and high demand mode, and is ATEX certified to EEx ia and EEx d for hazardous area use.

It features a gas-tight feedthrough for protection against aggressive or toxic media, often found in solvent or hydrocarbon applications.

Best of all, the device continuously monitors the probe insulation, so that any rod breakage or damage to insulation is immediately detected to minimise measurement errors and plant downtime.
