Endress+Hauser FDU90: Continuous, Non-Contact Level Measurement

The Endress+Hauser FDU90: continuous, non-contact level measurement is a versatile ultrasonic sensor designed for precise and reliable level monitoring of fluids and solids. This instrument is well-suited for continuous, non-contact, and maintenance-free measurement of fluids, pastes, sludges, powdery to coarse bulk materials, and even for flow measurement in open channels and measuring weirs. Its measurement capabilities are unaffected by dielectric constant, density, or humidity, ensuring consistent and accurate readings across a wide range of materials and process conditions. The sensor’s self-cleaning effect also minimizes build-up, further enhancing its reliability and reducing maintenance requirements. This makes the FDU90 a versatile and cost-effective solution for various level and flow measurement applications.

Liquids, Solids, Open Channel Flow

The FDU90 measures liquids, solids, open channel flow utilizing advanced ultrasonic technology. The sensor is suitable for a variety of applications. For liquids, this includes level monitoring in tanks, sumps, and basins. When measuring solids, the sensor is suitable for level measurement on belts, stockpiles and in crushers. It can also measure flow in open channels and at weirs. Commonly used in measurements in low structural heights.

Isolated Setups Up to 300 Meters

The FDU90 is designed for isolated setups up to 300 meters, employing a separated version that allows the sensor to be installed remotely from the transmitter. This design offers several advantages, including enhanced flexibility in installation and improved performance in harsh or hazardous environments. With the ability to locate the transmitter in a control cabinet or field housing up to 300 meters away from the sensor, users can protect sensitive electronics from extreme temperatures, corrosive atmospheres, or explosive environments. This separated configuration ensures that the sensor can operate reliably in challenging conditions while providing convenient access to the transmitter for configuration, monitoring, and maintenance.

Accurate Readings With Temperature Changes

The FDU90 can maintain accurate readings with temperature changes, thanks to its integrated temperature sensor for Time-of-Flight correction. Fluctuations in temperature can affect the speed of sound in the air gap between the sensor and the measured material, leading to inaccuracies in level measurement. The FDU90’s integrated temperature sensor continuously monitors the ambient temperature and automatically compensates for these variations, ensuring precise and reliable level readings even when temperature changes are present. This feature is particularly important in outdoor applications or in processes where temperature fluctuations are common, guaranteeing consistent measurement performance and reducing the need for manual adjustments or recalibration.

Self-Cleaning Minimizes Build-Up Maintenance Free

The FDU90 acts as a self-cleaning minimizes build-up maintenance free sensor. The ultrasonic pulses emitted by the sensor create a self-cleaning effect that minimizes the accumulation of material on the sensor surface. This reduces the need for manual cleaning and maintenance, ensuring continuous and reliable level measurement over extended periods. In environments where dust, condensation, or other contaminants are present, the self-cleaning capability of the FDU90 helps to prevent build-up from interfering with the ultrasonic signal, maintaining accurate and consistent level readings. This feature not only reduces operational costs but also enhances the overall reliability of the measurement system, making the FDU90 a low-maintenance solution for various level measurement applications.

Extreme Chemical Weather Resistance

The FDU90 features extreme chemical weather resistance, constructed with a hermetically welded PVDF sensor that provides exceptional protection against harsh chemicals and corrosive substances. This robust sensor material ensures that the instrument can withstand exposure to a wide range of aggressive media, including acids, alkalis, solvents, and other corrosive fluids, without degradation or damage. The hermetic welding further enhances the sensor’s resistance to chemical attack by preventing ingress of moisture or contaminants. This chemical resistance, along with its flood-proof IP68 rating, allows for deployment in outdoor areas, further showcasing the sensors’ weather-resistant properties. The device can be used with confidence in demanding chemical processing, water treatment, and other applications where chemical compatibility is critical, ensuring long-term reliability and accurate level measurement.
