EchoMax XPS Ultrasonic Level Transducer

Brand: Siemens AG

Echomax® XPS transducers use ultrasonic technology to measure level in a wide range of liquids and solids. 

The transducers can be fully immersed, are resistant to steam and corrosive chemicals, and can be installed without flanges. 

The XPS series offers versions for various measuring ranges up to 100 ft (30 m) and up to a max. temperature of 203 °F (95 °C).

During operation, the EchoMax XPS transducers emit acoustic pulses in a narrow beam. 

The level monitor measures the propagation time between pulse emission and its reflection (echo) to calculate the distance.
 
Don’t forget that the safest engineered level measurement solution includes switches for back-up, overfill, low level and dry run protection.
