MTS Strengthens Portfolio with Introduction of LP-Series Liquid Level Transmitters
27/04/2016 MTS Systems Corporation
MTS Sensors, a division of MTS Systems Corporation (NASDAQ:MTSC), introduces the LP-Series - the next generation of its Level Plus® liquid level transmitter product line. This new offering includes Tank Slayer®, RefineME® and CHAMBERED models, based on MTS Sensors' proprietary Temposonics® magnetostrictive sensing technology. The LP-Series targets hazardous area applications in the oil and gas, as well as chemical and mining industries, (including storage tanks, reactors, blending tanks, etc.). All models in this series feature an integral display and have Intrinsically Safe approval under NEC, CEC, ATEX, and IECEx.Designed for use in bulk storage aboveground tanks, the Level Plus Tank Slayer features 3-IN-1 measurement of the product level, interface level and an average product temperature that is determined from up to 16 different points. Tank Slayer can calculate volume in addition to level, and when ordered with integral temperature measurement can calculate temperature corrected volume based off of American Petroleum Institute (API) correction tables. Tank Slayer's ±1 mm inherent accuracy makes it highly suitable for monitoring inventory levels of refined fuels, crude oil, fuel oil, ethanol and other expensive liquids. Tank Slayer is equipped with a flexible hose that is available in lengths up to 22m (72.2ft.).
This is complemented by the Level Plus RefineME level transmitter aimed at shorter process tanks in oil refineries, chemical plants and mines. RefineME has the same 3-IN-1 measurement capability but offers a wider variety of process connections, such as ANSI and DIN flanges, as well as wetted parts including Stainless Steel, Hastelloy C and Teflon. An extensive offering of mechanical packages enables this device to be used in numerous applications from reactors and alkylation tanks to additive storage tanks and sump level monitoring. RefineME is equipped with a rigid pipe that is available in lengths up to 7.6m (25ft.).
The Level Plus CHAMBERED is especially optimized for incorporation into magnetic level gauge (MLG) systems, such as those found throughout refineries and chemical plants as well as boilers. The transmitter is mounted externally to the MLG to provide remote feedback in addition to the local visual measurement. CHAMBERED is compatible with most MLG manufacturers' chambers currently on the market.
MTS Sensors liquid level transmitters present customers with a 'set it and forget it' solution. Once installed and calibrated there is no requirement for scheduled maintenance or recalibration work to be carried out. As a result running costs can be significantly reduced.
