Capacitance Probe, High Temperature and Pressure, Tubular Ground
The Delta Controls Model P56 Capacitance Probe utilizes RF admittance technology for high pressure and temperature applications. The concentric ground sheath provides a ground reference for sensing low dieletric materials. Model P56 is designed to replace nuclear gamma ray sensors and solid mechanical displacers in many applications. Use of the P56 avoids difficulty due to large size as well as high purchase and installation costs.
The P56 can be installed in high pressure / temperature fatty acid reactors, steam condensate knockouts, coal gasification, and similar difficult applications. The ceramic materials used are extremely strong. Delta Controls has developed packaging that protects the units from inadvertent damage while being transported or stored.
