Capacitance Probe, Tubular Ground
The Delta Controls Model P21 Capacitance Probe has high intrinsic gain. It is equipped with a wrap around concentric ground reference sheath which acts as a ground reference when used in plastic and lined tanks. The linear ground sheath allows it to be used with transmitters in horizontal cylindrical tanks and other containers with nonlinear sidewalls.
The P21 requires a minimum process connection of a 1 inch NPT process connection. It has high inherent gain sensitivity and is useful on materials having low dielectric constants, such as light hydrocarbons. It allows full scale calibration over a modest level change and calibration can be done outside the vessel.
